Research plays an important role in evaluating an issue or problem or performing a technological activity. We aimed to present a research methodology to assess the technological capability and its influencing factors in the developed and developing countries in biopharmaceutics. Accordingly, we studied the methods that could be used for evaluating and presenting a model in such countries. In this qualitative study, we assessed independent variables and their effect on dependant variables in developed and developing countries. Then, the studied indices were considered as standards. The study ultimately concludes with a qualitative assessment of the pharmaceutical industry and a quantitative assessment of the current status of this industry in Iran. By comparing the current condition of this industry with the obtained standards, the amount of under development in this field was determined and analyzed. With respect to the novelty of this study's methodology, our findings are hereby presented to be reviewed by experts in this field.

Abstract


Research plays an important role in evaluating an issue or problem or performing a technological activity. We aimed to present a research methodology to assess the technological capability and its influencing factors in the developed and developing countries in biopharmaceutics. Accordingly, we studied the methods that could be used for evaluating and presenting a model in such countries. In this qualitative study, we assessed independent variables and their effect on dependant variables in developed and developing countries. Then, the studied indices were considered as standards. The study ultimately concludes with a qualitative assessment of the pharmaceutical industry and a quantitative assessment of the current status of this industry in Iran. By comparing the current condition of this industry with the obtained standards, the amount of under development in this field was determined and analyzed. With respect to the novelty of this study's methodology, our findings are hereby presented to be reviewed by experts in this field.
