This study examined how Lorestans decorative stone exporters can play an international role in the\r\nworld market. The study is a field study and the population consists of all of the Lorestans stone firms.\r\nLorestan is one of the biggest stone exporter provinces of Iran. For this reason, a simple random\r\nsampling technique was used to select the respondents surveyed for this study, a total of 101\r\nquestionnaires were administered to respondents chosen from about all 130 of the province stone firm\r\nmanagers and their vice presidents; statistical tools were used to test the hypothesis such as: T\r\nstudent (to determine whether there was a significant difference between the average of the population\r\nand that of the sample) and Chi square (to review the lack of significant differences between the\r\nobserved frequency and expected frequency of tests). To gather information, library resources,\r\nquestionnaires and interviews were used. To test research questions, six hypotheses with a conceptual\r\nmodel were designed to examine the relationship between the key success factors and the exports of\r\nthe stone firms. Assumptions in the study, all with 95% confidence were accepted. The findings\r\nindicated that there was a significant positive relationship between KSFs and successful market entry.\r\nThe study also showed that services and distribution channels had respectively the most and the least\r\neffects on successful market entry for Lorestans firms producing decorative stones.
