Abstract :

The aim of this paper is to analyze the technology dimensions and identify the problems of technology transfer in diesel manufacturing industries in order to achieve possible solutions. The survey method is applied descriptive. Field and library studies have been used for data collection. The data have been analyzed through the use of SPSS software and by applying T-test and Kruskal-Wallis test. The results show that the hypotheses about hardware, info ware and human ware have been confirmed, but the variable of organ ware hasn't been confirmed. Moreover, a meaningful relationship hasn't been approved between experience, education and age variables with the replier's viewpoint.
