Abstract

This research aims to select the most effective strategic capability for sustainable development under risk and uncertainty in the oil industry by rough set theory. The research methodology is qualitative and quantitative. The target population in the qualitative section included 14 industrial management specialists at the university level, and in the quantitative section, 32 senior managers in companies active in the oil industry. In this research, the meta-synthesis and Delphi analysis methods were used to identify the components and propositions of the research and, in a small part, the analytical approaches of Ruff collection. The results showed that among the 15 final statements of risk and uncertainty in the oil industry, the risk of change in domestic law relative to political/economic diplomacy in developing infrastructure for the oil industry X5 is the most crucial risk statement and uncertainty in the field. Political and legal risks have been identified as a measure of the strategic viability of sustainable development. Finally, it was found that despite the most probable risks selected in this study, namely the risk of changes in domestic law to political/economic diplomacy in the development of infrastructure of the oil industry “X5”, the existence of sanctions of the world powers “X1” strategic capabilities of sustainable economic development is the most crucial feature that should be considered in the country’s inflationary conditions
