Since the beginning of the pandemic, technology is among the fields that have received serious public attention. It's expected that technology has a significant impact on overcoming the Covid-19 crisis and resolving the challenges posed by it. However, the effects of Covid-19 on technology and technological innovation systems have received less attention. Using the futures wheel method, this research identifies and visualizes the direct and indirect consequences of Covid-19 on technology. The input of the focus group discussions for the design of the futures wheel is derived from the qualitative content analysis of existing studies and reports on the effects of Covid-19 on technology. After the first version was designed by the focus group, the results were presented to fifteen experts with different specialties to modify the wheel in addition to confirm the validity of the research. Comments were reached consensus in two rounds of interviews and the final version of the wheel was drawn. The research findings represent the pattern of Covid-19 effects on technology under four main consequences: recession and economic problems; the need for fast, efficient, and effective solutions to deal with the crisis; lockdown policies; and the environmental impact of Covid-19. The most important policy proposals to deal with the identified consequences are: supporting the development of crisis-related technologies; supporting the continuation of companies' activities; supporting innovation competitions; removing obstacles to the export of technological products; Expediting patenting and licensing processes; Applying demand-side innovation policy tools; Investigating the risks of emerging technologies; regulation of emerging technologies; Designing a dynamic business atlas; and removing restrictions on access to materials and equipment needed for research and development Manuscript profile -

A wide variety of factors in the form of a causal system will affect the issue of technology valuation. However, a significant portion of the feedback can appear over a period of time and with a not necessarily linear behavior. Therefore, the analysis of a set of factors affecting the category of technology valuation in the form of a systemic and at the same time dynamic view can affect the efficiency and effectiveness of relevant decisions. Therefore, in the present study, due to the dynamic nature of the decision-making problem and faced with various evaluation criteria in the process of analysis and selection of technology evaluation strategies, a combined analysis method based on the dynamic systems approach and multi-criteria decision-making is presented. The proposed model has been implemented to evaluate the technology of the Teflon container manufacturing industry as a case study. The results indicate the efficiency of the proposed dynamic model in analyzing the relationships between variables that have a direct and indirect impact on the issue of technology valuation. In addition, using the TOPSIS and analytical hierarchical process methods, strategies based on the simulation results are evaluated and finally prioritized. Manuscript profile -

In the meantime, many categories and formulations have been made with different approaches, each of them seeking their goals and implementing their policies in the society in the form of a discourse. In spite of the different and sometimes contradictory formulations, its ideal goal, regardless of different discourses, is to reduce the existing gaps between the classes, which have been created by the implementation of inappropriate socio-economic policies, which will ultimately end in a civil society with a middle class. The most important goal of this article is to build the concept of social innovation and then to explain it in the form of existing three discourses (government, entrepreneurship and academic) and finally to apply the entrepreneurship discourse (with a view to the point that in the conditions of our country, the only possibility of creating and reproducing society and ultimately innovation and breaking out of the existing conditions is the strengthening of the middle class) in the "narrative of existing events" method. Based on this, while categorizing and evaluating entrepreneurial actions, we have explained and drawn its practical type in the existing conditions of the society Manuscript profile
