Nowadays, public policy knowledge is faced with a host of new approaches including adaptive approaches, policy networking, closed innovation dissemination and open innovation dissemination. In such a situation, the ability to choose the right approach to policy-making from a set of diverse approaches is very important. The purpose of this study is to provide a contingency framework for selecting the appropriate policy-making approach from the approaches of phased, adaptive, networking and dissemination of innovation under different environmental conditions. Using inductive qualitative theory-generating meta-synthesis method, theory is generated through the steps of data collection and sampling, intra-study and inter-study note-taking, and finally the establishment of dynamic relationships between variables. According to the findings of this study, in situations where predictive power is not present, the general policy cycle is useless. Under such circumstances, the power of forecasting should be increased first with the help of adaptive methods, and then the policy should be formulated with the help of one of the approaches of general policy cycle, open innovation, closed innovation or networking. The choice of each of these approaches also depends on the two variables of public participation and public innovation.
