Designing a Model for Analyzing the University Development Program Using the Structural-Structural Modeling Approach Case Study of Hakim Sabzevari University

The strategic planning process of the university is not new. Although there are models in the field that have been used or tested before, but these models are inefficient and inappropriate in some countries and societies. Therefore, in this study, we will design a model for analyzing the strategic planning process in Iran. In addition, we have tested the conditions that prevent this process. Therefore, in this study, Friedman test and interpretive structural modeling have been used to rank academic design barriers and design a model in this regard. From there, the ISM approach is based on expert opinion, with 19 expert opinions in the field of the university. The results of this research led to the leveling of the barriers of academic strategic planning process and the design of a model of these factors. The findings also showed that the lack of development strategy, the lack of culture and planning thinking and the lack of deployment of strategic planning respectively (first to third rank) are one of the most important barriers to academic strategic planning process and the heterogeneity of financial condition and administrative demands Rank 13) has the last rank.
