Abstract

The environment in foreign trade is dynamic and complex. Today, the promotion and development of foreign trade requires the adoption of newer strategies. Iran's location in West Asia and having valuable mineral resources has a strategic position. In this study to design a structural model The purpose of this article is to identify the governing factors necessary for the realization of Iran's foreign trade in the region, to examine the relationship between them and to prioritize them for its importance. A set of new strategies And effectively obtained from a complete review of the literature and opinions of 10 experts. Then content-related relationships were selected for each pair. In addition, a hierarchical interpretive structural model was created using a structural interpretive technique. The findings of this study classify the effective factors based on driving power, influence and dependence. The findings show that knowledge-based economy is the underlying factor and the import substitution variable is one of the most dependent factors of the ISM model. These economic agreements as a model variable relationship with the impact Ray and susceptibility with high penetration and dependence, can be the intersection between other components of the model.
