Abstract: The purpose of this research is to realise how organisations have been sustaining their growth through applying technology transfer factors. Regarding the thematic nature of a research model, experts' opinion of the oil industry and companies in the oil industry have been examined in the current study which included: 1) oil pipeline and telecommunication company; 2) oil products distribution company; 3) national gas company in Semnan and Khorasan province, all have been brought for this research as a statistic population. The results obtained from both methods indicate that the oil pipeline and telecommunication company are more important than the national gas company, and the oil product distribution company. The results obtained from fuzzy AHP technique, according to the technology transfer factors, indicate that the technological feature is of most importance for the oil industry than the organisational feature, personnel feature, and industrial feature. According to the technological feature scale, it is concluded that diffusion is the most important factor among the other factors.
