The statistical population in the qualitative part included professors, experts in the field of marketing and sales, and senior managers of Shazand Oil Refinery, who were selected using purposive sampling to a number of 10 people. And in the quantitative part of the research, all employees and managers of the marketing and sales, finance, and commercial departments of Shazand Refinery were selected as subjects using the stratified random sampling method.
