Data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire with a matrix nature. The statistical population of the study included 29 managers of conversion and complementary industries. In order to collect information through purposive sampling, 15 managers of relevant industry units were interviewed, which based on theoretical saturation, the data collection process was stopped.
Findings: According to MICMAC analysis, self-governing factors with low dependence and low influence included: supportive policy, R&D support, special and preferential support and subsidies, market organizing and marketing.
Conclusion: Based on the independent components: banking system support and the existence of long-term program, plan, decision and actions which were determined the key factors for the development of conversion and complementary industries. It is suggested that the necessary financial resources including (facilities, credits, subsidies.) be allocated to the conversion and complementary industries, as well as to some financial incentives such as: low interest rates, increasing the breathing period of credit use, provide export incentive subsidies. Regarding the necessity of implementing programs, plans and projects related to conversion and complementary industries, it is suggested to be predicted and implemented in three formats: short-term, medium-term and long-term plans, all of which have a single strategy for the development of conversion and complementary industries.
