Ultimate Strategies for Value-based Management Based on Islamic-Iranian Model of Progress

The preservation and survival of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, which is a divine and value-driven system, rely on the protection and continuity of its fundamental values like any other system. The managers and agents in government agencies play an influential role in preserving values and realizing the goals and ideals of the Islamic Revolution through their functions. However, changing values in the country, especially among its agents, can be a danger to the revolution. Accordingly, proper understanding of the value (ultimate) strategies, which is the purpose of implementing value-based management, can be useful in the proper explanation of values and their implementation. Thus, the signs, concepts, and categories of ultimate strategies of value-based management emerged gradually by conducting semi-structured interviews with experts and using the methodology of grounded theory through collecting and analyzing data, as well as continuous reciprocations during the open, axial and selective coding process. In this regard, the findings of the research were categorized into three levels of robust, evolutionary, and ideal strategies.
