The economic growth or asset of a country basically depends on the amount of goods which can be produced by the combination of land, capital, manpower and natural resources. Therefore , changing natural resources into production is the new process of economical development , and technology is the brain of this type  of transformational activities. This tool not only makes the changing operation possible but also , in the world economy, makes the survival and growth foundation of business enterprises. The development of today’s technology has caused some changes in the productivity and costs, and because of this , the global and national structure in the areas of production, business and employment has been greatly affected. On this basis , according to the strategists of today’s world business, the most important strategic consideration in the international economic and industrial competition is succeeding in the field of technological and innovative management. Increasing the competitive advantages of any economical enterprise requires increased improvement in the strength of any type of technology which has been used in the production operation of that enterprise. This will happen by increasing the complexity of its technological elements and increasing the level of its technological strength (organizational learning). In this regard, analysing and examining the current situation and identifying the strong and weak  points of the level and the strength of technology in the industry will be the starting point of any improvement and development in technology. The purpose of this article is to examine and evaluate the level and strength of industrial units in the country by presenting the conclusion of a comprehensive research work and identifying the strong and weak points of the technology of the industry in order to give some recommendations for the improvement and development of technology in industry.
