Although science and technology plays a fundamental role in the success of societies, experience shows that without having a roadmap and policymaking for science and technology, achieving competitive advantage in the intense global competitive atmosphere is basically impossible. Science and technology policymaking is considered successful whenever its output in the market is able to compete. The objective of the current study is obtaining a model for science and technology policymaking based on the approach of economic complexity. In order to reach this objective, the data based theorization approach has been used. The instrument of the study is in-depth and semi-structured interviews. The participants of this study consisted of 18 journalists and opinion holders familiar with the subject of this study who have been chosen through the snowball and theoretical approach. In order to analyze the data, the continuous comparison approach is used in three stages of open, linear, and selective coding. The advantage of the current study in comparison to previous studies is the comprehensiveness and practicality of the model, which simultaneously pays attention to most of the effective factors of science and technology policymaking based on the economical complexity approach. A complete picture of Causal Conditions, core category or phenomenon, context conditions, intervening conditions, strategies, and the consequences related to the title of the study is also presented, which can be used as a suitable template for science and technology policymaking.What is certain is that the attention paid to the policies of science and technology is mostly due to its economical consequences.

Despite Iran's medical tourism capabilities, statistics show a very small market share for the country. Due to good opportunities and increasing international competition in medical tourism on one hand, and not using our capabilities in this industry on the other, this mixed method research aims to identify medical tourism development solutions as well as appropriate measures and policy instruments to implement them in Iran. The study was conducted in two phases. In the 1st phase(qualitative) after interviewing 16 participants, appropriate solutions, measures and instruments were extracted using thematic analysis. On the 2nd phase, statistical tests were used to approve and prioritize solutions as well as to assess the policy instruments according to effectiveness and feasibility measures. According to the results, there are 20 solutions and 37 effective feasible policy measures for medical tourism development in Iran which should be pursued in three areas of "policy making and administrative structures", "medical tourism supply chain" and "medical tourism markets.Medical tourism is a growing phenomenon in 21th century that has one of fastest growing markets in tourism.

In particular, the concept of the public sphere was expanded to examine collective factors rather than individual attributes in administrative corruption. Secondly, the ranking of selected countries in the Corruption Perceptions Index (2017) was compared in terms of achieving sustainable development goals. The study also aimed to investigate the trend of corruption in developing countries by examining the values applied at the socio-economical levels of the target countries.
