Abstract

Despite the emergence of new technologies, especially the Internet of Things, whose use is increasingly growing in many fields, there is not enough knowledge of its concepts, fields, applications, and effective categories. For example, it is not possible to see a general policy for using these new approaches. Based on this research gap, this research was done with the aim of providing a policy for new digital technologies in general and the Internet of Things in particular. Considering the limited literature and the lack of theories for developing comprehensive policies in the field of using the Internet of Things, qualitative content analysis approach was used in this research. So that by examining the theoretical foundations and experimental foundations in the field of digital technologies, we try to extract the hidden key concepts and subsequently determine the sub-categories and the main categories, in order to obtain indicators in achieving a policy for the Internet of Things. , action was taken. For this purpose, with a systematic review of the literature and with the help of metasynthesis qualitative research method, all the key indicators for public policy in the Internet of Things were identified and classified; In the two steps of the meta-composite research, the following results were obtained: in the first step, the meta-composite research was conducted in-depth review of previous studies, and in the second step, the meta-composite research was conducted using coding techniques (based on qualitative content analysis) to 78 sub-categories and 8 main categories were determined and the proposed policy can be used as a basis by managers and policy makers based on three contextual, strategic and interventional factors.
