The Impact of Imported Capital Goods on the Quality of Iranian Goods in the Supply Chain with Emphasis on Resistance Economy (Case Study: Textile Industry)

Supply chain management (SCM) is the active management of supply chain activities to maximize customer value and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. Capital goods have a special role in increasing the quality of products and their connection with the issue of resistance economy in trade. However, in recent years, Iran's share of the global textile trade has been only 1%, and not only has no activity been done to strengthen the textile industry in Iran, but other industries are not experiencing a better situation. While various countries such as Japan and Korea have long been resilient in their industries and have made significant progress. In the present study, 16 practical questions in 3 levels of capital goods, quality of Iranian goods and resistance economy from 109 manufacturers, importers and distributors of textile market were evaluated and its reliability was measured by Cronbach's α method. Its validity was determined through a survey of experts and critics of the textile industry. The results of data analysis showed that the import of capital goods has a positive and significant effect on the quality of Iranian goods with the role of resistance economy. Therefore, this study indicates that more attention should be paid to the social welfare of employees as the driving force of the textile industry. Furthermore, the government, as the custodian of imports and exports, should consider facilities for the import of capital goods into the country.
