Abstract

Industrial enterprises are one of the most important economic sectors in creating job opportunities, the growth of which is a multidimensional phenomenon. Whenever the decline in resources and output of industrial firms is accompanied by a reduction in the size or scale of their operations, growth stops and the firm stagnates. So that, an analytic hierarchy of the stagnant model components of industrial enterprises, whose spatial domain is Kermanshah province has performed in the present study. The research model was developed based on a mixed exploration approach. For data gathering in the qualitative section, sampling and judging methods were used to achieve theoretical data saturation through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 31 experts. In the quantitative section, data were collected with questionnaires with 20 statistical populations. Analyzes show that the stagnant model of industrial enterprises is affected by various factors. In summary, prioritization of model components showed that "legal problems and partners' differences" were the highest priority of causal conditions; "financing" was the highest priority of intervening conditions; "economic challenges" were the highest priority "contextual conditions"; In terms of sales, "the highest priority of strategies/actions;" inactivity of industrial enterprise activists "are the highest priority of macro-level outcomes at the inconsistency of less than 0.1. Finally, suggestions were made to improve the status of stagnant industrial enterprises.
