The main objective of this research is to design a policy framework for identifying the fundamental causes behind the absence of large international economic organizations in Iran, with a focus on the institutional structure of production. This qualitative study employs the grounded theory approach based on Strauss and Corbin’s methodology. Data were collected through semi structured interviews with experts and documentary analysis during 2023–2024. The analytical process consisted of three stages—open coding, axial coding, and selective coding—which ultimately resulted in the extraction of 25 axial codes from 599 initial ones. The validity and reliability of findings were evaluated and confirmed using a test–retest reliability index.The results led to the development of a paradigmatic model in which the core phenomenon is the failure to form large scale international economic organizations in Iran. The underlying causes of this phenomenon include weak institutional development capacity, macroeconomic and policy instability, inappropriate government intervention in the economy, and sanctions. These factors operate within a context characterized by an oil dependent economy, an anti production culture, and low social capital.Additional challenges—such as managerial inefficiency, resource and infrastructure limitations, rent seeking, and capital flight—hinder the implementation of effective strategies. Moreover, institutional and legal deficiencies, the underdevelopment of the private sector, and inactive economic diplomacy reinforce this condition. The short and long term consequences include small firm scales, weakened competitiveness, increased state dependency, and persistent innovation stagnation.

Regarding the importance of poverty as one of the important issues in the development economics literature, the present study addresses the factors affecting poverty by emphasizing the role of industrial development in the provinces of Iran, during the period from 2004 to 2015. The application of spatial models is desirable in regional science research based on regional sample data that has a spatial component. Therefore, in this research, spatial panel econometric models are used for model estimation. Foster, Greer and Thorbecke Index for poverty and the variables of industry's per capita value added, the depth of industrial activities (the ratio of industrial employment to the number of industrial workshops), the concentration index, and the relative regional advantage as indicators of industrial development, have been used along with the indicators of inequality and inflation in the research model. In the first scenario, the concentration index was used and in the second scenario, the relative regional advantage index was used. Findings of two research scenarios with spatial panel model indicate the positive effect of inequality, inflation and the concentration ratio on poverty as well as the negative impact of industry per capita value added, the depth of industrial activities and relative advantage based on employment on poverty. However, the regional relative advantage variables were not significant on the basis of added value, and industrial exports and human development index were not significant in the model. The results of spatial overflow effects indicate that poverty in the provinces is influenced by independent variables in neighboring provinces. It is suggested that industry sector policies be taken into account in order to increase the share of industry in domestic production.

This paper investigates the effect of concentration and advertising on profitability in Iranian Industrial firms, with more than 9 employees. Dynamic panel data technique is used along with the data during the period 1374-1381 to study this issue. The results show that the concentrated industries have a higher profitability than the others. In addition, advertising has a positive effect on the profit of the Iranian industries.
