description In recent decades, since increasing the competition betweenorganizations for developing products and services, creating anddeveloping modern technologies has been strongly growing. In suchcircumstances, the main challenge of organizations is development oracquisition of the right technology in respect of the organizational goals.Thus, this study intends to present a scale for evaluating communicationtechnologies in mobile communication industry which is provided by amixed research. The initial model is attained through a comprehensivetechnology literature review and some semi-structured interviews withtechnology top managers. Then, using exploratory factor analysis andconfirmatory factor analysis, validity of the proposed model and scale isassessed. Findings show that the communication technologies evaluationhave correlations with technical capability, technology knowledge,market, strategic and financial criteria and the technology knowledge isthe most important dimension and followed by strategic criteria andmarket.
