Analysis of predicted interactions of science and technology stakeholders in upstream laws and documents

Abstract

Purpose: : The stakeholders of science and technology, like other areas of public policy, have an important role in the success and failure of policies by influencing and being influenced by policies. The research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the anticipated interactions of the stakeholders of science and technology in the upstream documents. Methodology: The research is an applied research from the point of view of the goal and thematic analysis from the point of view of the data collection method. For this purpose, among the upstream documents, eleven documents were selected and analyzed in the four dimensions of stakeholder identification, type, purpose and method of stakeholder interaction. Findings: In the analysis, stakeholders in four sections; Government, private, individuals and civil society were categorized, and the beneficiaries of the public sector had the largest share. Stakeholder interaction is predicted in seven types, and "institution-to-institution" interaction was the most frequent . The objectives of stakeholder interactions are foreseen in fifteen themes, the most important of which were "Development of science and technology" and "Strengthening interactions between stakeholders". Stakeholder interaction methods were introduced in the form of ten themes, among which "development of incentive mechanisms" and "creation of cooperation networks" were introduced as important methods of interaction. Originality/ value: : For the first time, the research has taken a comprehensive look at the issue of stakeholder interactions, which, in addition to identifying the stakeholders, has determined how the stakeholders interact, the purpose and the modes of their interaction.
