The data of this study were obtainedfrom a semi-structured interview with 17 industry owners, academics and researchers in this field. The findingsof this study, using thematic analysis, address challenges at three levels of communication between industrialorganizations and the textile industry, including "The ineffective approach of the government prevents thepromotion of organizations to the supportive position of industry and government", "the alienation of industryowners from the organizational culture", "Lack of support for technology development projects and the creationof technical knowledge" and "Motivational barriers and high volume of educational and executive activities ofacademics", "Lack of development of the necessary infrastructure for commercialization of research", "Lack ofsystemic thinking between industry and university managers", "Lack of mission-oriented planning in theeducational and research policies of the higher education system", the relationship between universities andresearch centers and innovation with the textile industry, and "inaction and regression in the field of structuredplanning", "Lack of necessary mechanisms to reduce the final price and increase competitiveness","Decentralized and rent-seeking policies", "Lack of forward-looking and specialized policy-making" therelationship of government organizations with the textile industry. The findings indicate the significant role ofgovernment and government policies in the low level of social capital in the textile industrial cluster of Yazd.Therefore, changing the government's approach to its role in Yazd textile industry from entrepreneurial toprotectionist is one of the most important factors in increasing the appropriate social capital.
