Basic strategy for privatization in Iran

Many problems after the Islamic Revolution have led to the failure of privatization policies in Iran. In this paper, we have tried to determine the basic privatization strategies in Iran by SWOT method and QSPM matrix and to consider the privatization process in the country with a long-term view. To do this, we will first answer the question of what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of privatization in Iran in recent years. We will answer this question by examining 72 articles and reports of privatization organizations in Iran, Turkey and Russia.Then, we provided the points extracted from the study of resources to the relevant experts in the SWOT method to estimate the importance of each of the extracted points in the privatization of the country. Finally, in order to present the main strategy for more efficient implementation of privatization in Iran, we used the experience of Turkey and Russia and prioritized the strategies using the QSPM matrix and by asking experts in this field. The results indicate that the overall strategy of the country in the implementation of privatization is defensive and strategies such as " changing the government's approach from a purely political point of view to privatization and its proper implementation with a long-term view by increasing new investments," closely monitoring regulatory bodies of privatization "and "reviewing the background of those in charge of privatization " are important privatization strategies in Iran.
