Every country prefers to be a producer and exporter in any industry rather than being a pure importer. Actually, it is not about preference, it is about social and economical necessity to cultural industries. The mobile gaming industry as one of the entertainment industries has grown economically as well as in popularity all over the world in the last ten years. It is economically and socially necessary for Iranian mobile gaming companies to enter the global market as well. For this aim at first, we need to identify and analyze its current state. In order to archive this goal 14 experts including policy makers, researchers, mobile gaming activists, managers and media managers were being interviewed in this qualitative content analysis research. After three coding steps, 21 themes about status of Iran gaming industry were extracted from 450 raw codes and analyzed by SWOT technique. As a conclusion, four fields of strengths (such as high capacity of internal market, low costs of production and learning, …, ), weaknesses (including human resource management, science management, investment, …, ), opportunities (such as being more powerful than the other local competitors, strong cultural relationships with other local countries, …, ) and threats (including hard competition in the global market, sanctions set against Iran economy, …, ) identified and analyzed by SWOT matrix. The government should take on the role of policy maker in the game industry and lead it to international markets in order to get rid of the single-product economy, in partnership with the private sector.

As Farhangian Universities play a crucial role in educating soon-to-be teachers, the program being developed for students of this university needs to be meticulously developed in order to fulfill the crucial role of teacher training centers. Researchers of this phenomenological study tried to evaluate curriculum specified for TEFL students in Farhangian Universities by the implementation of SWOT analysis. Seven professors of Farhangian University in Mazandaran participated in this study to speak for their perspectives regarding the curriculum’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. They took part in interview conducted by researchers and their comments were transcribed to be segmented and codified in later sections. The findings of this study clearly demonstrated that this program suffers more from weaknesses and there are opportunities which might act as compensation for weaknesses and threats. The significant weakness of this curriculum that was elaborated by participants was misplacement of courses without any observation of necessary content knowledge and pre-requisites. Specification of courses exclusively for teaching was mentioned as one of the important strengths of this university. Participants believed that the first opportunity to be made use of, is to maintain connection with other teacher training centers in Iran and around the world.
