Presenting a model for identifying transformational technologiesUsing the Metasynthesis Method

Transformative technologies can significantly affect the global balance of power. Identifying transformative technologies can help with strategic intelligence, avoiding surprises and exploiting future opportunities. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to provide a model for identifying transformative technologies. In this research, the developed version of metacombination method was used by combining systematic review and theme analysis methods. For this purpose, after searching the reliable databases of Web of Science and Google Scholar in the period from 1995 to 2023, a number of 1430 researches were collected and after studying, evaluating and refining the documents in three stages (checking the title, abstract and content). , the number of 46 studies that were the most suitable for the purpose of this study were selected and analyzed. Based on the results of the research, a total of 5 dimensions, 20 components and 58 indicators were determined to determine the criteria of technology transformation. The identified dimensions in order of frequency are: performance dimension, economic dimension, social dimension, market (user) dimension and organizational dimension.
