TThe purpose of this study is to provide a value creation model in rural businesses based on strategic sensemaking. This research is a descriptive-survey method and applicable in terms of nature. Statistical population was of rural business owners active in the rural sector of South West Azerbaijan in the field of industrial animal husbandry, industrial greenhouses, handicrafts and semi-industrial Rug weaving in 2020, of which 265 were identified and 155 were selected by the sample size of Georgian-Morgan. The research instrument included the strategic significance questionnaire of Neil et al. and to measure the value creation of businesses, their classification information was used according to the method of calculating the approximate return. Multivariate linear regression analysis and quadratic structural equation model were used to analyze the data. Findings showed that four components of strategic meaning including internal communication, external communication and data collection and information classification predict 43.4% of the value creation variable. As a result, a business that is aware of its environment and, on the other hand, the transfer of information and communication within the business flows smoothly, therefore, is in a better position to create value.

Disparity is raised as a key feature of third world countries. Decreasing disparity is thus considered as one of the development objectives in such countries. Disparity dimensions are a matter of discussion in various economic, social, political, and cultural spheres. It is of a particular importance to create job opportunities for reasons of its absolute contribution towards reducing poverty and inequality. As study results indicate, creating job opportunities was tended toward the urban regions during the 1966-96 period. Such an employment disparity was reduced over the post-revolution period. Maximum gap in the increased job opportunities occurred over 1976-1986 period, indicating not only no increase in the number of rural employees but also a decreased number of rural jobs. During the whole study period, the urban population share increased and the rural population share decreased. In all sections over the concerned period, the increase in urban population was higher than that of the rural population, so that both the whole population increase in the province occurred in the urban areas and the considerable decrease occurred in the rural population. According to theoretical bases and experimental observations, these developments were mainly caused by tendencies of creating job opportunities towards the urban areas. Concentration of investments in the urban regions and thereby generation of employments in cities caused population to make their major movements to the cities, producing in turn population density in the cities of the province. With respect to the employment contribution to reduce economic, social, and political disparities in the rural/urban regions of the province, a balanced expansion of the job opportunities between both regions is viewed as a necessary measure.
