Social networks marketing based on gaining a competitive advantage is considered one of the most important organizational phenomena in most countries. Many factors are effective in social network marketing based on gaining a competitive advantage. Many kinds of research have been conducted in the field of social network marketing and the factors affecting it, but so far, comprehensive research that includes all these factors and identifies the relationship between them based on gaining a competitive advantage has not been presented. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting social networks marketing based on gaining a competitive advantage and designing a model related to the communication between them. The research is a kind of exploratory mixed research and includes two qualitative and qualitative-quantitative sections. In the qualitative part, first by reviewing the literature in the field of social network marketing and using the meta-combination method, the factors affecting it were identified and divided into three categories. Using the interpretative structural modeling analytical method, the relationships between these factors were determined and analyzed in an integrated manner. In the modeling section, a questionnaire was distributed among experts selected by snowball sampling.

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.
