Abstract
There has been no research so far conducted on the financial participation of the private sector in Iran’s industrial development during the last three decades. The present research has been carried out through documentary, survey and field methods. The participants were a sample of 146 private firm owners. Previous studies have indicated that during the first decade after the Islamic Revolution, the private sector’s contribution in the industrial development of the country has been negative, while in the two decades that followed that contribution has been increasing, although during the last two years the contribution has once more been declining, a process pointing to an unstable ever-changing trend during the last three decades. The overall current rate of contribution of the private sector in the industrial development has been estimated about 1.4 on a scale of 0 to 4. The results of the study show that there is a reverse correlation between the three independent variables of the research (that is, the rate of anomie, the state’s performance, and the market’s performance) and the dependent variable (namely, the financial contribution of the private sector). As a result, on the basis of the findings, one may come to the conclusion that due to the dominant anomic situation in the area of industrial activities, factors such as the state’s and market’s performance have resulted in a decline in the private sector’s financial contribution in the industrial development of the country.
