Export Orientation

We categorized innovating firms in an ascending order as adopters, adapters, and creators to examine factors motivating these activities. For small firms, creation and adaption were significantly correlated with export orientation, engaging in collaborative research and development (R&D), receiving technical support from outside agencies, gaining technology from parent establishments, and supplying parts to multinationals. For medium-sized firms, R&D incentives, collaborative research, and accessing technology from parent plants were significant. Adoption in small firms was associated with export exposure and operating for 11 years or more. R&D incentives, collaborative research, and technology transfer from parent plants were negatively related to adoption in medium-sized firms.

Technology Transfer (TT) is vital action from drug development in Research and Development (R and D) Department to commercial manufacturing till the product discontinuation. This review is an attempt to give an insight about the transfer of pharmaceutical product from R and D to production including necessary documents required to review the supporting documents and execution procedures in production shop floor. TT is considered effective, if there is a documented evidence that the process and its parameters, repeatedly results in desired product quality which was established upon during TT between the transferee and transferor. For the execution of TT process, expertise from different department such as Engineering, R and D, QA, process analyst and production are teamed. the transmission comprises of arrangements procured in these flows of improvement to achieve the quality as planned throughout manufacture.
