Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide an organization evaluation model in the process of strategic management. In other words, The proposed model of this study is going to Evaluate the performance of the organization’s strategy(validation or verification of the organization's strategy). The issue ahead is that no comprehensive model which can rate the performance of the organization's strategy or verify the process of collection, implementation, and evaluation of the strategy has been developed up to now. There is a vital gap in the issue of strategy verification. The existing models for strategy verification of an organization include some weak points: First of all, they are qualitative; so so they can't present verification results in the form of tangible numbers. Secondly, these models are not comprehensive and concentrate only on the part of the strategy concept. For example, one model evaluates human recourses strategies and the other model focus on the verification of information technology strategy (IT); the other concentrates on organizational resources as well as the creation of competitive advantage. This research discusses an empirical model for assessing the validity of the strategy with the help of library studies, content analysis, and interviews with experts (Delphi method). to measure this model's validity, it has been implemented in a glass manufacturing company. The results indicate that the proposed model would present the necessary standards for quantifying strategy validity. In comparison with the existing models, this model is more comprehensive model covers more dimensions. In this model, verification of competitive advantage and strategic thinking has also been a matter of concern.
