چکیده:
in today’s world, taking advantage of social capacities and national capabilities in manufacturing handicrafts requires the application of new state-of-the-arts production techniques. in this regard, social manufacturing is an emerging phenomenon that serves as a new production ecosystem equipped with modern technologies and social networks. therefore, this qualitative study sought to identify the requirements and challenges of applying social manufacturing to the production of handicrafts using the grounded theory (glaser method). to collect the required data, semi-structured interviews were made with twelve experts in the field of handicrafts and information technology who were selected through the purposive sampling method. the collected data were then analyzed using the maxqda 10 software. on the other hand, the validity, transferability, reliability, and verifiability of the study were also measured to strengthen the findings. finally, the collected data were analyzed through actual and theoretical coding.
according to the study’s results, altering the manufacturing structure, fostering relationships with consumers, developing research and education, developing the infrastructures, and establishing production networks were identified as the main requirements of applying social manufacturing to the production of handicrafts. moreover, the conceptual map of the study was drawn, including nine categories and twenty-nine sub-categories. the current study can fill a number of gaps existing in the application of social manufacturing in iran.
