Abstract

This study explores the multifaceted growth challenges faced by Knowledge-Based Firms (KBFs) within Iran’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. The research identifies critical barriers across several domains, including financial constraints, market development limitations, and political, regulatory, and legal complexities. Through a comprehensive analysis, the study reveals that financial challenges are intensified by limited access to high-quality equipment and skilled personnel. Additionally, both domestic and international market development face significant hurdles. Regulatory and legal issues, such as inadequate intellectual property protections and cumbersome administrative processes, further exacerbate these challenges. The study underscores the need for strategic policy reforms, improved governmental coordination, and targeted support mechanisms to address the evolving needs of these firms. The findings highlight the importance of optimizing tax policies, facilitating international market entry, revising regulatory frameworks, and enhancing support for knowledge-based law enforcement to foster sustainable growth and innovation in Iran’s ICT sector.Abstrak dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi tantangan pertumbuhan yang kompleks yang dihadapi oleh Perusahaan Berbasis Pengetahuan (KBFs) dalam sektor Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (ICT) di Iran. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi hambatan kritis di berbagai bidang, termasuk keterbatasan keuangan, keterbatasan pengembangan pasar, serta kompleksitas politik, regulasi, dan hukum. Melalui analisis yang komprehensif, penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa tantangan keuangan diperparah oleh terbatasnya akses terhadap peralatan berkualitas tinggi dan tenaga kerja terampil. Selain itu, pengembangan pasar domestik dan internasional menghadapi hambatan yang signifikan. Masalah regulasi dan hukum, seperti perlindungan hak kekayaan intelektual yang tidak memadai dan proses administratif yang rumit, semakin memperburuk tantangan ini. Penelitian ini menekankan perlunya reformasi kebijakan strategis, peningkatan koordinasi pemerintah, dan mekanisme dukungan yang tepat untuk mengatasi kebutuhan yang berkembang dari perusahaan-perusahaan ini. Temuan ini menyoroti pentingnya mengoptimalkan kebijakan pajak, memfasilitasi masuknya pasar internasional, merevisi kerangka regulasi, dan meningkatkan dukungan untuk penegakan hukum berbasis pengetahuan guna mendorong pertumbuhan yang berkelanjutan dan inovasi dalam sektor ICT di Iran

Abstract

This review paper examines the multifaceted growth challenges faced by Knowledge-Based Firms (KBFs) operating in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) firms in Iran. Through a comprehensive analysis, the study identifies critical barriers across several domains, including financial constraints, market development limitations, political, regulatory, and legal complexities, business model intricacies, and knowledge-based law enforcement issues. Unlike previous studies that typically focus on isolated factors, this research offers a holistic view of the obstacles impeding the growth of ICT firms within the specific context of Iran and its regulatory environment. Key findings reveal that financial challenges are compounded by limited access to high-quality equipment and skilled personnel, while market development is hindered by both domestic and international barriers. Regulatory and legal hurdles, including inadequate intellectual property protections and cumbersome administrative processes, further exacerbate these issues. The study also highlights the need for strategic reforms in policy frameworks, enhanced coordination among governmental bodies, and targeted support mechanisms to address the evolving needs of these enterprises. Based on the analysis, the paper proposes several policy recommendations aimed at fostering an environment conducive to the sustainable growth and innovation of Iran’s ICT sector. These include optimizing tax policies, facilitating international market entry, revising regulatory frameworks, and improving support for knowledge-based law enforcement. The findings highlight the importance of a nuanced and adaptive approach to policy-making to ensure the competitiveness and resilience of ICT companies in Iran's dynamic economic landscape.
