In this paper, the management style for regional development in Iran was pathologized. 370 experts were questioned and in order to choose an appropriate style, 30 experts were interviewed through Delphi technique. Statistics methods such as X2 tests, Spearman correlation coefficient and multi criteria decision methods such as ANP and PROMETEE II were used to giving weight, analyzing, ranking and selecting the appropriate style of management. The research findings indicate that, the majority of experts believe that the management style for regional development in Iran has been completely inefficient during the period 2005-2015, and needs serious reforms. Based on data analyses and use of MCDM and findings, the appropriate management style was selected among various management styles. Finally, “the Network Governance” was proposed as a appropriate style and some recommendation was provided for implementation of this style to regional management in Iran.
