Abstract

One of the export goals of the country in the above documents is to develop the export of non-oil goods and get rid of the export of raw materials. The cement industry is one of the producers of non-oil products, which has a very high potential in the field of export. Based on this, the aim of this article is to identify the appropriate indicators for evaluating export strategies in cement industries and then evaluate and determine their importance. In this article, in order to calculate the importance coefficient of indicators for evaluating export strategies in cement industry, the opinions of cement industry experts were used. And then using the Shannon technique, data analysis has been done. According to the studies and analyzes of the data obtained in this research Government and customs laws, export laws as the most optimal and best criterion or in other words the most important criterion and then cost savings are ranked as effective indicators respectively.
