Abstract

The basic model of Islamic-Iranian development was designed after seven years of consistent scientific research conducted at “The Center for Islamic-Iranian Development Model”. Following the designing of this model, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, invited all scientific centers, elites, and scholars to inquire into the various dimensions of the document and to give recommendations for its completion and improvement. Hence, this research is intended to investigate the dimensions and characteristics of the basic model to promote the document. Following a qualitative approach and using grounded theory, the researchers interviewed 43 scientific and administrative experts in the field of policymaking to collect data. 268 basic concepts were identified which were classified in 16 categories. In order to validate the derived concepts and categories, five core groups were held with policymaking experts, and the categories were classified into four dimensions including institutional-structural, methodological, content and administrative-observatory challenges. According to the identified categories of this research, it seems necessary that the Center for Islamic-Iranian Model of Development reviews the model and revises it to address the deficiencies and to design the final desirable model.
