Abstract

The study aims to simulate the strategies of Islamic Azad University, Tabriz branch during 2019-2034 period through System Dynamics approach. Based on research literature, the variables of student trend, physical resources, educational quality, human resources, research and publication and financial operation were considered as key effective variables in formulating the mentioned strategies. The interaction between variables i. e, the dynamic hypothesis is demonstrated by causal-loop diagrams and state-current maps. Then, the causal relations were defined in the form of mathematical functions and finally simulated by using reliable theories in the field of problem-solving literature and experts' opinion. The scenarios were formulated and analyzed based on three main objects, namely cost reduction, increase of revenue and educational quality development. Our results showed that by the implementation of downsizing scenario in Tabriz Azad university, the tuition rate of the university experienced a decrease of five percent. The second scenario showed that if research budget experiences a change of 40%, non-fee revenues would grow 19%. The simulation of the third scenario revealed that, 25% increment of new investments in Tabriz Azad University leads to the growth of student attraction rate by 17% in long term. Taking the results of three scenarios into consideration makes us to suggest that it is advisable that Tabriz Azad University should follow the two strategies of increasing research budget and making use of new investments.
