Strategic Management and Its Role in the Development of Hawzah

Today, the routine Management and practical measures taken by the organizations and institutions, particularly the cultural ones, in our country have not been efficient beside the striking domestic and foreign developments in the cultural, social, political and economic fields; a kind of Management which cannot solve the country’s problems. The continuous inattention to the change of this kind of Management will result in material and spiritual loss. Lack of strategic administration is a serious threat to all the organizations and institutions of the country, including seminaries (centres of Islamic Education). Strategic administration helps, through strategic reflection and planning, to implement and evaluate strategies. Using an analytical approach and relying on an investigation into the documents, the present paper seeks to expound and evaluate the development in seminaries, in the light of the strategic administration of the fifth term of the High Council for Hawzah (2008 to 2013), on which the Supreme Leader repeatedly emphasized. To this end, it seeks to review the process of the measures taken by this council for the mentioned period, while describing and analyzing its strategic Management relating to the development in siminaries in order to highlight the strategic look towards seminaries.
