Pattern of Value Creation in National Iranian Copper Industries Company.

This paper seeks to discover the pattern of value creation in the National Iranian Copper Industries Company. Given the company's proximity to Holdings and its parent companies, the issue was addressed in a mixed (qualitative and quantitative) study. In the qualitative section, we came up with the conceptual model by interviewing 10 empirical and executives familiar with value creation using the Grounded theory method. The quantitative part was performed by distributing a questionnaire among 183 managers and decision-makers at the National Iranian Copper Company, and the analysis was performed using SmartPlus software, model validation. The model includes axial category (value creation), causal conditions (intrinsic attributes, relational attributes of business units, structural and functional attributes and portfolio attributes) context conditions (supply chain management, systems and methods management, resource management and prospects management, and Values), intervening conditions (Iranian economic situation, national and international rules and regulations, competing mothers), strategies (stand- alone influence, corporate development, functional and service influence, linkage influence and combination of strategies), and consequences (better resource allocation, formulation Value Creation Strategies, Performance Management Control, and Distinction). Coefficient tests show positive and significant effect of causal conditions on axial category, axial category on strategies, context conditions on strategies, intervening conditions on strategies, and strategies on consequences, and so, all of these variables on on value creation in National Iranian Copper Industries’ Company. The results showed that the National Iranian Copper Industry Company should adopt the best strategy with regard to the components mentioned in the model.
