Abstract

The first(1949/1955) and the second(1956/1962) development program are the beginning and consolidation of the development program in the history of Iran. Although these seven-year plans did not achieve the expected results, they have an important position because they initiated the transformation in the country's planning system. The third(1962/1968) and fourth(1968/1973) development program were also among the successful programs of the Pahlavi era, so that the third plan, as the first comprehensive development program of Iran, surpassed the targeted growth rate by 6%, And the fourth development program has been the most successful program in Iran in terms of economic growth. After the preparation of the fifth(1973/1978) development program, internal and international developments created a gap between the managers of the program organization and the country's government, so that this program was fundamentally revised one year after its approval and implementation. This program is the first and only development program in Iran so far that was revised. The purpose of this research is to answer the question, what factors caused the fifth development plan to be modified?. This research is a qualitative research that has been carried out by descriptive-analytical method. Four factors 1. The increase in oil prices in the world markets and the growth of Iran's foreign exchange earnings. 2. The government's interest in industrial and infrastructure development in an all-round and accelerated manner. 3. Disagreement between the political officials and managers of the program and budget organization and 4. Combining the five-year program with the annual budget can be introduced as the main points of revision in the fifth program.
