The field of cultural products, one of the important social, economic, and political arenas, has had increasing growth in recent decades. Cultural products such as film, computer games, books, toys, and the like, because of their abundant influence on society's lifestyle and culture, demand a great deal of attention. The spread of foreign products with themes and messages inappropriate for Iranian society indicates serious weaknesses and shortcomings in this area.
The present study seeks to formulate and present the inefficiency and various challenges in the ideation, production, sale, and consumption stages of cultural products within an integrated and systematic framework called the cultural products innovation system. Issues and concerns in the arena of cultural products are not only Iran's problem and exist, more or less, in all countries of the world.
