Abstract
The purpose of this study is to design a strategic restructuring model for strategic restructuring in the oil industry with attention and emphasis on eco-industrial development. This current research is developmental in terms of its purpose; In terms of approach, it has been done qualitatively and based on metacomposition. Based on this, the statistical community of the research includes a collection of articles that have been published from 2020 to 2023 on the topic of strategic restructuring and organizational modernization, and the authors have searched among prominent domestic and foreign scientific databases to find 57 articles out of 336. They selected articles and after analyzing their content, categories and concepts were extracted and their prioritization was done using Shannon's entropy method. Based on the research findings, 40 concepts were identified in the form of 10 categories and were separated into three categories intra-organizational, extra-organizational, and environmental factors. The categories of Organizational transformation, the establishment of new management styles, organizational knowledge, customer relationship management, broker organization, integration of industry and environment, adaptability, and predictability, job training needs assessment, quick and smart thinking, and human resource evaluation had the highest coefficient of importance, respectively. Therefore, due to its entrepreneurial nature, strategic restructuring will affect the realization of environmental protection as much as possible and will increase the responsibility of the oil industry towards the environment.

Highlights

• Strategic restructuring such as environmental protection will increase the responsibility of the oil industry 
toward the environment;
• Organizational transformation is the most important factor identified in the strategic restructuring model in 
the oil industry;
• Business systemization and business process management should be considered by the senior managers of 
Iran’s oil industry;
• Strategic restructuring in Iran’s oil industry is customer relationship management
