Modelo sistémico Modelo sistémico para la adopción para la adopción  de tecnología por la industria química

Authors

The technology adoption by the chemical industry requires an

adequate analysis of the variables involved in the technology policy

of the industry. Some of these variables are: the characteristics

of the technology in adoption, the acquisition conditions, the

technology adjustment or the infl uence of the chemical industry

context. A supporting tool for this task is the formulation of a

systemic model in order to direct the decision making process and,

at the same time, to analyze in a systematic manner the relations

of the variables involved. The purpose of the present research is

to propose and evaluate a Systemic Model of Chemical Technology

Adoption answering the complex technological reality of the

chemical industries. This work is setting within a methodological

framework based on the Action-Research Method and the DESMET

methodology bases, through the characteristics analysis by surveys,

applied to 4 expert evaluators. As a result, it is the defi nition of

the model dimensions and categories, the establishment of 17

characteristics and 57 sub-characteristics with their respective metrics

(there were proposed 125 metrics), proved through the model

evaluation by experts looking for contributions and improvements,

reaching an average acceptance of all the model characteristics of

96%. Specifi cally, the model evaluation feature “pertinency” is 99%,

the average acceptance level for the “complexity” is 98%, and for

the “adjustment” and “precision” features, it was verifi ed that the

average acceptance level is 95%, which is higher than the acceptance

level of 75% proposed in the model evaluation. Consequently, the

model is pertinent, complete, adequate and precise.
