Strategy assessment process as an effective process in prioritization and selection, effective implementation of the organization's strategies, improvement in other stages of strategic management including drafting and implementation processes, and finally improving organizational performance and value creation in the organization, is very important. be The purpose of this research was to conceptualize the phenomenon of corporate strategy assessment through identifying, analyzing and presenting factors and components of strategy assessment. The research was conducted based on the meta-Synthesis qualitative method on 836 articles and related references found from 2000 to 2022. The results of 56 selected references were analyzed based on 63 categories or concepts, 24 sub-themes and 4 main themes (structure), including macro-organizational and development-oriented factors, organizational capability and resource-oriented factors, system and infrastructure factors, and strategic consequences. The findings of the research showed that the strategy assessment process is formed with a very small influence of macro-organizational policies and plans and the overall strategic direction of the organization and with a greater influence of systemic and infrastructural components and organizational capability, and as a result, systemic and infrastructural factors and Organizational capabilities have a great role in the formulation and implementation of the strategy assessment process. In the infrastructure factors, the "system and process approach" component has the largest share, and in the organizational capability factors, the "internal capabilities and competences" component has the largest share. Finally, the conceptual model of the strategy assessment process including the factors and components related to the phenomenon of strategy assessment was presented.
