Competition is known as one of the optimal conditions for the resource allocation in any economy. It basically helps the economic growth of the countries flourish. The outcomes of the competition components reveal the intensity of competition and the profitability power of any industry. This, in turn, determines the ways and the intensity of the responses of different enterprises based on their interests. One of the major factors in imprecise and inaccurate implementation of the rules and regulations, disruptions in competition, misallocation of public resources, and etc. is the absence of conflict of interest management in place.
Given the significance of such an issue, the study and development of competition framework and conflict of interest management of beneficiaries of Iran insurance industry based on the upstream strategic documents were conducted. Presenting an overview of the global experiences, the research project identifies various components of the conflict of interest among beneficiaries followed with relevant solutions and recommendations. The study employs ‘grounded theory’ as its major research methodology and approach.
