The theoretical and empirical literature in the filed of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Studies (STIP) contains a variety of discrete concepts, frameworks and techniques for policy making. However, an integrative framework is lacking that can guide practitioners as to how to use the research findings in a real context. This paper tries to fill the gap through probing the practical problem of formulating a national science, technology and innovation strategy using an inter-disciplinary (integrative) research method. The proposed conceptual framework is based on positioning the existing concepts, frameworks and techniques in a change management program. Application of this integrative framework is investigated for developing such a national strategy in Iran and future research opportunities in science, technology and innovation policy are suggested.
