The results of ISM indicated that the influential factors were classified into 4 levels.

In the third level, environmental and management components, in the second level, the components of biological, economic, market and the supply of financial and human resources, and in the upper level (level 1), which had the least influence the factors educational and research, technical and professional and international were placed.
