Iran as a marketplace begins to come alive again
Article Abstract:
Iran is beginning to open up slowly to international businesses looking for new markets, but the degree of cooperation received from the government for those businesses wishing to operate in Iran varies depending on the situation. The country is still trying to define the term Islamic Republic, and a high degree of confusion is evident among the populace by businesses attempting to open market channels in the country. The oil reserves of the country provide it with a relatively solid financial base, and foreign businesses continue to attempt to gain a share of that oil wealth, although finding the right person to talk to can be a challenge in itself. The economic environment in Iran since the revolution of 1979 and the outlook for expanded business with the West are described.

Specifically, the impact of the 1986 Bofors scandal in India on the activities of other Swedish companies operating in the country was investigated. The results showed that political decisions concerning a single multinational corporation affect other firms in varying degrees, depending on their position within the network.
