| description | Purpose: Iranian universities have undergone many changes in recent years, which have led to more attention being paid to innovative development and changes in the main function of universities. In an era when university managers face new challenges such as fleeting changes and opportunities, uncertainty and disorder, having a strategic approach can help managers focus on distant horizons and identify opportunities and advantages as well as coherence. The activities of the university helped to clear the path of collective goals. For this reason, most universities have prepared a strategic plan to recognize and solve problems, identify strengths and weaknesses, make optimal use of opportunities and situations, and master the threats that endanger the university's existence. One of the main sources for realizing the strategic plan is financial resources, which the university often faces with a lack of funds. In addition, sudden economic shocks add to the instability and make it necessary to use the university's financial resources effectively.Methodology: A mathematical optimization model of the type of integers is presented for the management and optimal allocation of financial resources according to the performance and effectiveness of universities' scientific activities.Findings: This model has been implemented to realize nine different activities in the strategic plan of Allameh Tabatabai University, separated by faculties. These nine activities include 1) publishing a book, 2) publishing an internal article, 3) publishing an external article, 4) holding a theory session, 5) holding a meeting to solve problems and a promotional session, 6) implementing educational plans, 7) holding internal and external conferences, 8) holding internal and external workshops and meetings, and 9) other activities.Originality/Value: Implementing this model and performing sensitivity analysis on its important parameters will bring acceptable and effective results for the support of faculty officials as well as managers of the university's strategic plan. |
