Abstract

This research demonstrates a systematic approach to evaluate nanotechnologies. A case study of applying nanotechnologies to the development of Thailand's agriculture industry is given as an example. A hierarchical decision model is built and qualified expert opinions are used as measurements. There are four levels in the hierarchy: mission, objectives, technological goals and research strategies. Three panels are formed based on their background and expertise in order to minimize and balance any possible biases among the members. The research results provide decision makers with a ranking of technological goals and research strategies in terms of their support for specific goals. The outcome of this research should help technology policy makers to evaluate technologies and research strategies on the basis of their contributions to the national mission.
