On the one hand, the sport organizations are faced with a variable and threatening environment and, on the other hand, the increasing trend of sport developments in domestic and international fields have caused more expectations and requests on the part of the society. Based on this, the main purpose of research is to design the model of strategic thinking in order to improve the productivity of the ministry of sport and youth. The method was qualitative and based on Grounded Theory. The semi-structured interviews used for the data collection.The sample was chosen based on theoretical saturation (22participants) from sports administrators and university professors by using targeted method. The data was analyzed in three codifying stages were introduced in causative effective conditions (7categories), interventional conditions (7categories), grounded conditions (2categories). which facilitate or expedite the interrelation among these three, the required strategies (6categories) and consequences (3categories). In this paradigmatic model, “the path-oriented analysis”, “the visualizing mind”, “the coherent mind” and “the integrated thought” were chosen as the main reasons behind the institutionalization of the strategic thought in the ministry. It could be concluded that if exerted the strategies in order to institutionalize the strategic thinking in this organization, some consequences will arise, such as the modernization of the ministry, the creation of a Non destructive ministry and also the clarity of the path of sport development.

The current research was of mixed type (qualitative-quantitative) and its design was of sequential exploratory type. The participants of this research were the beneficiaries of electronic sports businesses. The sampling method was snowball and based on theoretical saturation, 20 people were selected. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data, and Lincoln and Gaba (1985) criteria were used for its audit, which included validity, transferability, reliability and verifiability. In order to analyze the data in the interview analysis section, the coding method was used, the fuzzy Delphi method was used to screen the indicators, and the structural analysis method was used in the future research section with the help of Micmac software. By analyzing the interviews, 156 initial concepts were gathered into 75 final concepts and 3 main categories under the title of general environment, operational (specialized) environment and internal environment. Then, 36 effective factors were identified through fuzzy Delphi screening. And finally, it was determined that the growth of 5G technology, the general acceptance of e-sports, the increase in demand for e-sports, the legitimacy of e-sports, and the e-sports league are the five driving forces that make possible alternatives for the future of e-sports businesses. As a result, it is necessary to consider their situation in the design of the future plans and actions of the mentioned businesses in particular,

The aim of this research was to conduct future scenario planning for organizational and corporate brands in the Iranian sports industry. The present study employed an inductive approach, a fundamental orientation, a mixed method (qualitative-content analysis and quantitative-descriptive analysis) approach, a futures studies strategic perspective, and a complexity paradigm perspective. The participants in this research consisted of university professors and sports brand practitioners. The selection of these individuals was purposeful, and 25 experts were chosen based on their expertise criteria. Data collection in this study was done using interviews and questionnaires. The scenario planning model by Schwartz, which is based on eight stages, was utilized for data collection. To ensure the validity of the qualitative study, the recommended criteria of Guba and Lincoln (1989), including credibility, dependability, transferability, and conformability, was employed. Additionally, for the validation of the quantitative section, formal and content validity were confirmed by eight university professors, and its reliability was confirmed through the test-retest method using Pearson's correlation coefficient (r = 0.823). In the qualitative part of the research, open coding and focused coding were used for data analysis. Furthermore, the method of interaction effect analysis and balance effect analysis was employed, and these analyses were conducted using the software programs MicMac and ScenarioWizard. The findings of this study revealed that in the future of sports brands in the Iranian sports industry, there are 26 sub-themes and 2 main themes (environmental drivers and internal drivers) involved.

The purpose of this study was to design the model of drivers that are effective on the future of sports workers in Iran. This research is developmental-applicative in terms of its nature, mixed (qualitative-quantitative) with an exploratory-sequential design. The target population of the research was experts who were aware of the research topic..In the research findings, 112 primary concepts were identified in the form of 23 sub-themes and 15 main themes. These drivers were placed on the first level in the seven levels of the structural-interpretive model consisting of needs assessment drivers, monitoring promotion and innovation promotion, which had the least impact on other drivers, as well as information system drivers. And the development of interactions in the second level and the drivers of attitude change, social status, economic platforms and media attention were placed in the third level of the research model. Also, drivers of operational planning and financial resources were placed in the fourth level, and drivers of efficient management and infrastructure development were placed in the third level, and finally, cultural drivers were placed in the sixth level and program Strategic planning was placed at the seventh level of the model. Therefore, these results can be a basis for the decisions of managers and planners in line with the development of sports in Iran.

The purpose of this study is to develop a strategic plan for the Iranian Football Referees Committee. The present research method was of strategic and field studies, which was performed in the field and in a descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population of the study consisted of two qualitative and quantitative sections. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through the opinion of professors and experts and reliability (with 93% Cronbach's alpha test). After analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, it was decided to form an evaluation matrix for each of the internal and external factors. Six competitive strategies, one conservative strategy and two defensive strategies have been proposed to turn weaknesses into strengths and threats into opportunities for the development of the Football Federation's refereeing committee. Based on the evaluation of the strategies of the Football Federation Referees Committee in the Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), the strategy of establishing a service compensation system was selected as the best strategy.
