We are very pleased to announce that an article entitled “Plausible scenarios for microturbine technology development: case study of an Iranian national technological program”, has been published in Foresight journal by Dr. Reza Hafezi a faculty member of NRISP.
This paper presents a technology foresight methodology to create plausible futures of microturbine development in Iran when the country faces different driving forces and uncertainties. On other hand, the paper deals with a theoretical question: how to select an appropriate foresight methodology? A procedure is proposed which equipped the research team to select appropriate method combinations based on Popper’s diamond. Finally, the selected methodology includes defining focal issues environmental scanning, and patent analysis aimed at developing five plausible scenarios for microturbine development future in Iran and creating shared visions among policymakers.
