| The primary sources of energy for countries rich in oil and gas like Iran are petroleum, petroleum products, and natural gas resources. Foreign investments in the petroleum industry are concluded in the form of collaboration agreements, and the key to developing countries’ success in such agreements is technological learning. In the present study, we use mixed-method research to analyze different aspects of technological learning in such agreements. We started by interviewing experts of the field to arrive at an approach for this study Our second step was to devlop questionnaires verified by the experts. We then distributed the questinnaires among the statistical population, and the analyzed the results using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and SMART PLS software. In the study, the technological learning pattern (model) was categorized and tested for 84 indices (primary codes), 18 components, and 5 major classes. |
