Summary/Abstract: In recent years, Iran’s government has emphasized the development of nanotechnology-based industry, so many Iranian companies have gravitated to this subject, or some new companies have established on nanotechnology fields such as nano-composite products. Technology strategy (TS) is one of the most important aspects of any firm’s strategic posture especially in dynamic environments; therefore this research is focused on adjusting a dynamic model of technology strategy development for Iranian nano-composite companies’ conditions. This article spots four key environmental moderators (Iran as a developing country, high nanotechnology, nano-composite companies, and information availability) which affect Chiesa’s dynamic model for technology strategy, and investigates these moderators’ effects on the dynamic model’s indicators. The results show that 22 indicators of Chiesa’s model have changed for this case.
