چکیده

فرارسی فناورانه، از مسائل اصلی توسعه فناوری در بسیاری از کشور‌های در حال توسعه بوده و تعیین فرآیند مناسب آن بر اساس شرایط نهادی و ویژگی‌های بنگاه‌های صنایع مختلف، از الزامات یک فرارسی موفق است. بررسی مطالعات حوزه فناوری حاکی از آن است که مطالعات تجربی و نظری اندکی در زمینه تعیین فرآیند مناسب فرارسی فناورانه برای شرکت‌های زیست‌دارو انجام شده است. این مقاله تلاش کرده با موردکاوی شرکت‌های موفق حوزه زیست‌داروی ایران، فرآیند مناسب فرارسی فناورانه بنگاه‌های این حوزه را با توجه به بستر آن و همچنین شرایط کشور مورد بررسی و تببین قرار دهد که برای این کار، داده‌های مورد نیاز از طریق مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته گردآوری و با استفاده از تحلیل تم و کدگذاری، تحلیل و در قالب مدلی ارائه شده است. بر اساس یافته‌های پژوهش، بنگاه‌های مورد مطالعه در فرآیند فرارسی فناورانه خود ابتدا توانمندی‌های تولید (فرمولاسیون، تولید ماده مؤثره و کسب تأییدیه‌ها) را توسعه داده، سپس توانمندی نوآوری در فرآیند تولید را کسب و نهایتاً وارد مرحله کسب توانمندی توسعه سویه‌های موجود شده‌اند. یافته‌ها همچنین گزاره مؤید اینکه برای بنگاه‌ها کسب توانمندی ساده‌تر فرمولاسیون الزاماً باید مقدم بر کسب توانمندی پیچیده‌تر تولید ماده مؤثره باشد را نقض می‌کند و در واقع، شروع توسعه فناوری از توانمندی پیچیده تولید ماده مؤثره، می‌تواند یکی از رویکردهای صحیح در فرارسی فناورانه بنگاه‌های زیست‌دارو باشد.

چکیده [English]

Technological catch-up is one of the key issues of technology development in developing countries and determining the appropriate catch-up process based on the environmental, institutional, and characteristics of different industries is a requirement of a successful catch-up. Review of the field of technology studies suggests that few empirical and theoretical studies have been conducted to determine the proper technological catch-up process for biopharmaceutical companies. Therefore, this paper try to investigate and explain appropriate process of technological catch-up of biopharmaceutical firms based on biopharmaceutical sector and country’s conditions. To this end, in this paper, through the case studies of successful companies in the field of biomedicine in Iran, the technology catch-up of these companies was analyzed. For this purpose, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using theme analysis and coding, and the output of the analysis was presented in the form of a model. This paper shows that the studied companies first developed the capabilities of production (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), formulation, and obtaining health approvals) then entered the production process innovation. Finally, the studied companies have engaged in development of existing strains. This paper also shows that firms should obtain simpler capability (formulation) before obtaining more complex one (API production), is not seem to be followed by any of the studied companies. On contrary, obtaining the API production capability can be one of right approach in technological catching-up of biopharmaceutical firms.
