I am PhD Student in the field of Industrial Management and also
hold a Master degree in entrepreneurship.I have worked from 2006,
in the field of small and medium enterprises development and
regional development through cluster model. I have been trained in
the field of cluster development by UNIDO representative office in
Iran. Also in recent years, I have been familiar with India and
Malaysia’s experience in SME development through training course
and visit program. My role in this period has been as a supervisor
and project manager of cluster development projects in Yazd
province. So far, I have been involved in 5 business cluster projects
which were in different fields and I have worked with people and
teams with diverse expertise. Working with these people, training
them, giving them advice and guidance of various cluster
development projects, has been a rewarding experience for me.
During these years, we have implemented various action plans.
such as market development, empowerment of human resources,
training, organizing soft and hard networks, export consortium,
upgrade technology, joint purchasing of raw materials and
machinery and etc. Some of them were successful and had notable
achievements and some of them were unsuccessful. In both cases,
we have been led to gaining experience and learning.
