Technological development plays a key role in the development, continuity and survival of an organization and through this advancement, organizations continue to develop and get upgraded. Therefore, instruction of digital technology to the staff has an essential role in the efficiency of organizations. Despite the significance of all the other relevant components in an organization, digital education and training plays a key role in the development of organizations. The more knowledgeable, creative and dynamic the staff within an organization are, the higher will be its power and dynamism, hence assuring the sustainable development of the organization. In this article, an attempt has been made to show the effects of digital technology training on organizational development in order to achieve practical results. In fact, As organizations and the organizational changes become more complex, employees and especially managers must use digital training opportunities to equip themselves with new capabilities, attitudes and knowledge to play active roles in the organization’s creative decision-making processes. Obviously, in today's fast changing industrial world, traditional training is not enough to meet the training needs of employees and manage complex organizations tasks. Therefore, newer and more appropriate models and methods such as digital education and learning should be used to train transformative, entrepreneurial and creative employees and managers.

Purpose: Technology plays an essential role in any country to achieve sustainable development. Choosing appropriate and advanced technology is one of the strategic decisions of industrial managers. This research discusses the critical factors that should be considered in the process of choosing new technologies based on the competitive mechanism, and accordingly, designs and explains the technology selection model for equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage.Method: The research method is an applied one and in terms of data type, it is a partly qualitative and quantitative research. In the quantitative phase, research data was collected based on the data obtained from the qualitative phase, and using the questionnaire tool. The research data was analyzed using thematic analysis and MaxQda software in the qualitative phase and they were also analyzed using the TOPSIS technique and meta-heuristic algorithm in the quantitative phase for modeling.Findings: Thirty-four concepts and five categories were identified as technology selection criteria for equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage. The "technical criteria" factor was identified as the foremost priority in equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage. The ranking of the determined categories from one to five were the factors of competitive criteria, strategic criteria, internal criteria, and external criteria, respectively.Conclusion: Finally, using the TOPSIS fuzzy technique, the model of equipping industrial units was presented to help decision-makers and policy makers of downstream petrochemical industries.
