Affecting Factors on Identifying and Selecting Soft Technology; SPR as a Case

This research concentrates on soft technology as a hidden side of management of technology. Because of the importance of soft technology, firstly we provide some definitions of soft technology and focus attention on differences between soft and hard technologies. Also we introduce managerial systems as a soft process technology and then their analyze transfer of them, one of the most important challenges in the industrial development in our country.
