  Introduction: The market of biopharmaceuticals in the world is growing rapidly and in our country the share of these drugs is increasing. Research, development, production and sale of these drugs have high risk and cost and require a long time. Hence, global companies are turning to technological and innovative collaborations. In Iran, however, the issue of cooperation between biopharmaceutical companies has not been addressed. Research Method: In order to identify the ways in which the actors of this industry cooperate along the value chain, the present study has tried to draw the actors in each of the links of the chain by studying two cases in Sinagen and Ronak Daroo companies. The present study is an applied type and interpretive paradigm in a way that using a multi-case study strategy, attempts have been made to identify ways of technological cooperation between different actors along the value chain. The interviews with each of the interviewees consisted of 13 main questions and were in the form of a semi-structured interview. Findings: The results of this study show that although good cooperation has been formed between the actors of this industry for the production of medicine. But these collaborations have been more about developing the market or producing biosimilars than on developing technology and upgrading research capabilities and developing new drugs. Also, despite the formation of few technological collaborations between companies in the industry, the lack of specialized companies such as clinical trial companies and small biotechnology companies, legal shortcomings such as the weakness of the commercial law for mergers and acquisitions and the weakness of use Export development tools are among the most important problems facing the promotion of technological cooperation between companies in this industry. Conclusion: Iranian biopharmaceutical companies generally acquire their production knowledge through reverse engineering and for the production of biosimilars and perform the distribution and after-sales service themselves.

  This research examines the role of open innovation intermediaries in facilitating communication between industrial enterprises (technology applicants) and technology-centric companies (technology providers). There is always a lot of challenges for technology exchanges and the needs of the industry. In the meantime, institutional existence is important to facilitate the process of technology exchange to increase interactions. However, as past experiences show, intermediary institutions in our country have not functioned well, and technological exchanges do not have the desired conditions. To this end, the purpose of this study is to provide a model for setting up such an institution. The method used in this study is quantitative. Initially, the functions of the intermediate entity were extracted and then, using the fuzzy Delphi technique, the proper functioning of an intermediary entity in the country was identified and divided. In the following, we study the effectiveness and effectiveness of the relationship between the factors using the fuzzy demilitarization technique and have been investigated using the Fuzzy Network Analysis Technique for weighting and prioritizing.

  The purpose of this study is to show how one of the advanced quality management techniques can be applied for prioritizing the open innovation influencing and influenced factors in higher education institutions.Design/methodology/approach - House of quality (HoQ) has been applied for prioritizing open innovation influencing factors based on open innovation influence factors. Selected universities of Isfahan province have been considered for the study. The statistical population of this study included managers who had expertise in the field of management and innovation, and executive managers of universities with at least 10 years of experience. The priorities of influencing factors included communications and interactions (developing university-industry relations), external organizational factors (competitive position and place of the organization), and process orientation (innovation process management).Research limitations/implications.Research limitations/implications - For more success in the universities and community and in order to institutionalize open innovation for employees through the acquired knowledge, it is better that the weaknesses and strengths and the position and place of each university is investigated and the gap between resources required and internal skills to establish a joint development relationship is identified. Originality/value – The applicability of quality management tools and techniques to innovation and particularly open innovation has been rarely tried. In that respect this topic is new. The HoQ based results are helpful in better decision making on the roadmap towards implementing open innovation in higher education institutions. Findings provide a roadmap to managers to implement open innovation based on the priorities of influencing factors aligned with influenced factors. Manuscript profile

  The aim of this study was to identify the indicators and components affecting the adoption of open innovation policy in selected sports federations. Participants in the present study were all university experts, faculty members, experts, secretaries and presidents of federations. Sampling was done by purposive and theoretical methods. Theoretical saturation of the samples was obtained after interviewing 14 people. The number of samples was not determined before the research was conducted and the sampling process continued until some kind of information saturation was obtained; this means that no new information was extracted from the data during the interview. The tools of the present study were semi-structured interviews. The intra-subject agreement method was used to confirm the reliability. Three coding steps were used to analyze the data. Using open coding, model categories were identified; then, in the axial coding stage, the link between these categories was determined in the form of a coding paradigm. The coding process in the form of six dimensions of the paradigm model that includes effective causal indicators including organizational structure, managerial support and readiness for change, contextual factors including staff, infrastructure, motivation, strategy and innovative culture. Barriers include manpower, structural barriers, cultural barriers and knowledge barriers. In this regard, the proposed strategies include knowledge and training, participation, competitive environment and organizational dynamics. Finally, the use of the model will lead to the consequences of productivity, creativity and social functioning. Manuscript profile

  The purpose of this study is to design a model of open service innovation, based on service quality improvement, a combined research method based on exploratory mixed research (qualitative-quantitative). Statistical population in the qualitative part of a group of experts including senior and experienced managers of municipalities and deputy mayors, senior governors, managers of municipal cooperation organizations and professors of public administration in universities and in the quantitative part; There were 500 mayors, council members, deputy mayors, university professors, the National Elite Organization, managers of the Municipal Cooperation Organization, and managers of the Science and Technology Park in Mazandaran Province; In the qualitative part, using the snowball method to reach theoretical saturation, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 experts, and in the quantitative part, to measure the model, a researcher-made questionnaire with relative cluster sampling method was used among 217 samples. ‌ ها was distributed. The validity of the 74-item questionnaire was confirmed by face and content method and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha method. Data were analyzed in qualitative stage with grounded theory technique with MAXqda2018 software and in quantitative stage with structural equations (heuristic and confirmatory factor analysis) with SPSS and AMOS software. The results of the quality section indicate that the open service innovation model, based on quality improvement of services with 16 dimensions in terms of causal conditions (rapid change of technologies, ability to absorb ideas, environmental dynamics), contextual conditions (organizational attitude and culture, facilities and Equipment, individual factors), intervention conditions (planning, participatory capabilities, Manuscript profile
