Abstract
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.
