The purpose of this study was to design an Iranian futsal development model with ISM approach. The present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of method, which was performed as a mixture of qualitative and quantitative. Sampling in the qualitative section was based on a specialized and purposeful panel and was equal to 18 people. The statistical population in the quantitative part, including the managers of the Futsal Committee of the Football Federation and the clubs of the Premier League and the first division of Iranian futsal, was equal to 132 people, which due to the limited membership, the population was equal to the sample. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire and a form of structural self-interaction. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 10 professors of sports management at the university and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test (α = 0.90). ISM and MICMAC were used to model the factors. Findings showed that 30 factors in the areas of environment and equipment, human resources, financial, structural factors, career path, interactions, attitudes and support and executive processes affect the development of Iranian futsal. These factors were structured in five levels, with environmental and equipment factors, human, financial and economic resources at the lowest level of the model. It can be said that standardization and increase of futsal halls, development and productivity of futsal human resources and privatization of clubs will facilitate the development of futsal.

Nowadays, globalization has doubled the importance of competitiveness in the sportswear industry. Many Iranian sportswear brands are not active in international trade because of their inability to compete with foreign brands. Therefore, this research aims to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the competitiveness of Iranian sportswear brands to enter international markets. This study used a mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) research design. The statistical population consisted of academics and experts active in sportswear exports. The sample included fifteen people from the first group selected by the snowball sampling method and fifteen people from the second group chosen by the purposive sampling approach. Effective factors were identified by a field study, and the conceptual model was presented after the factors were confirmed in the second round of the Delphi technique. Then, the factors were prioritized using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) as (1) exports, (2) brand differentiation, (3) brand equity, (4) marketing orientation, and (5) strategic orientation, respectively.The results indicated that exchange rate regulation and inflation control by the government, along with producing exclusive products and creating emotional relations between the brand and customers, increases the firm’s competitiveness. Brand owners should also pay particular attention to competitors’ activities and incorporate product competitiveness enhancement into their organizational goals.
