Theoretical data were collected using a documentary method, while empirical data were gathered through a survey-based Delphi technique. The statistical population consisted of 30 experts and specialists selected through a purposive or judgmental sampling. A total of 31 drivers, structured in 4 main dimensions, were processed using structural cross-impact analysis within the MICMAC software. the findings from the cross-impact analysis indicate a complex and intertwined distribution of drivers in terms of their influence and susceptibility. the clustering system of the drivers shows a concentration in a dual-cluster system.
