Abstract :

he technology roadmap is one of the most effective approaches to align the organization's strategies with planning in the field of technology, from a strategic point of view and its integration with the new technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, the technology roadmap of the fourth industrial revolution leads organizations to new smart and digital technologies in order to achieve the organization's goals. And it leads to increase in productivity in production. This research aims to analyze the effective smart and digital factors of the fourth industrial revolution with a strategic management approach in developing a technology roadmap for power equipment manufacturing and energy supply industries.This research aims to analyze the effective factors of the fourth industrial revolution on the development of a technology roadmap for power plant equipment manufacturing and energy supply industries.In this regard, first by using the literature and interviews with a number of relevant experts in the power plant equipment manufacturing and energy supply industries, several factors were extracted, and then the factors were finalized using the fuzzy Delphi method and ranked using the TOPSIS technique. The results show that the criterion of intelligent design and production has the highest rank, and the component of defining and balancing the research and development portfolio has the first rank, the technology evaluation component has the second rank, and the market changes evaluation component has the third rank.
