Abstract: In the current global competitive environment, the economy and sustainability of a country particularly the developing nations depends to a great extent on the implementation of green and traditional technology transfer (GTTT). Thus there is a need to understand and educate key decision makers to enable them to implement technology transfer arrangements. In the present study, an attempt has been made to identify the barriers to GTTT based on available literature. A total interpretive structural modelling (TISM) approach has been used to develop a model to depict the dependence and driving power of identified barriers. An elaborate discussion on relationship among barriers to GTTT has been presented. The model presented in this study may help understand not only the barriers to technology transfer (TT) but also the relationship among them in terms of driving and dependence powers. Firms involved in TT will find this article useful in making and analysing technology transfer policy decisions.
