Abstract
Currently, future industrial development is contingent upon free zones, where the export of industrial goods, expansion of international trade, generation of new job opportunities and subsequent decrease in unemployment occurred. Free economic zones of the Islamic Republic of Iran were also established with the aim of cultural, economic and social plans to connect to international markets. The aim of this article is to focus on the main barriers that exist to export from the free trade zones in the country. In order to understand how Iranian exporters surmount obstacles and other variables including barriers related to human resources, financial issues and the market in free trade zones, we investigated the existing relationship and variables involved in export boost. The results obtained indicated that in developing markets, firms lack the essential managerial obligations to export and meet demands of the foreign market. Thus, major significant managerial capabilities and competencies are required for recognition of export barriers by adopting the best possible strategies.

First and foremost the results are important to firms operating in the Anzali free trade zone since improvement in the quality of human resources of a firm meant improved export performance
Summary
During the first five-years, Iran’s economic plan had been put into operation in 1989 to accomplish immediate reconstruction and economic recovery objectives following the imposed Iraqi war. The plan intended to exponentially extend the managed economy of the war to have a broader international scope based on consistent presence and long-standing global relationships. Since there have been some limitations, the plan faced problems in the market. The state decided to select some locations as free economic zones to expedite processing and tackle export problems. 23 special economic zones currently exist in Iran and are growing increasingly in number because of their positive impact on the economy, industry, and production. The council of ministers created the free zones’ bylaw, through which all regulations concerning investment, labour, import, export, banking, and employment of these zones were considered
