Abstract
This research is focused on the technology transfer process in the automobile industry using project management tools. The aim of this research is the development of a technology-transfer model using Gantt charts and Critical Path Analysis flow diagrams to achieve a sustainable planning process in the global environment. To achieve this goal, the authors use Gantt charts and Critical Path Analysis flow diagrams. The hypothesis and three research questions are presented, which suggest a relationship between project management tools and the sustainable planning process of technology transfer. During the research, we use the case study of the Korean automobile industry as an excellent example of the technology-transfer process in global markets. A single project of technology transfer is discussed: the technology knowledge transfer from Korean headquarters to a Russian manufacturing subsidiary (Hyundai Motor Corporation). Quantitative data were collected through the open resources of the corporation; the qualitative data were analyzed through a case study and model parameter evaluation. The significant result that the combination of Gantt Charts and Critical Path Analysis flow diagrams methods improves the planning process for technology-transfer projects was found in this survey. It is noticed that (a) it is useful to apply project-management tools for technology transferring models; (b) Gantt Charts and Critical Path Analysis flow diagrams have a sustainable impact on technology transfer projects; and (c) critical paths and operational reserves in network diagrams help to optimize the planning process for technology transfer.

Summary
The global economy is rapidly changing, and technological innovation has become more important due to the trajectory of technology, short product life cycles, and globalization. It is necessary to develop new models of planning in project management and transferring technologies to achieve sustainability in global markets. For the automobile industry, acquiring innovative technologies can be a source of a firm’s long-term success. The technology strategy has become one of the most significant factors for a firm to consider when making a business decision. There are two ways to obtain technology to increase a firm’s competitiveness: self-research and development (R&D) and technology transfer. D., et al, 1998, suggested that technology transfer is a strategic component of innovation activity [1]. According to the efficient implementation of technologies, the transmission mechanism industry can intensify the implementation and development processes of high-tech innovations in production activities and gain additional competitive advantages.
