  7. Abstract:
  8. This thesis is a part of national studies of “attractiveness analysis and strategy formulation of fuel cell technology in Iran" that was done during more than two years with the guidance of fuel cell steering committee. In this thesis, first of all the possibility of applying the technology strategy model of Arnold Hax in national level was investigated. For this purpose, with regard to the fuel cell technology specifications and status in the country, from the perspectives of national need to the technology, capabilities of technology in the country and new applications of technology, the technology strategy models of positioning school were studied and from the models of this approach, Hax model was selected because this model is a suitable framework for technology strategy formulation and also provides suitable techniques and tools for technology strategy formulation. After that, intent changes that were required for using the framework of this model in national technology strategy formulation of fuel cell were performed. For this purpose, in first step, the conceptual technology mapping method that is an appropriate method for the technology identification at national level was used for identifying sub-technologies of fuel cell field and also technical clustering; system clustering and key technologies clustering were used for selection of strategic technologies units (STU). Then the specific criteria for evaluating the attractiveness and technological capability were determined and with use of questionnaire, the required information were collected and completed with the interviews. And finally with use of Morin’s decision making matrix, the questionnaire results were analyzed and fuel cell technology development strategies in the country were formulated that includes the technology investment priorities and theirs acquisition ways. Then for verifying the, the results of this study were presented at related conference for academic and industrial experts in the country and were approved
