Abstract The purpose of this study is to identify and rank the criteria for assessing the competitive performance of the university using multi-criteria decision-making techniques. The present study is descriptive and the research community consists of 15 people who are knowledgeable in the field of higher education and science and technology policy. A library collection method and a data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 6 criteria and 53 sub-criteria based on a comprehensive review of the literature related to university performance evaluation indicators. The identification, ranking and validation of the tool using AHP and TOPSIS Techniques showed that the criteria of compilation of competitive strategies, management and leadership of the university and the relationship with higher education stakeholders ranked first to third in the indicators of competitive performance assessment. Allocate.Finally, it is suggested that policy makers in higher education, in planning the development of performance indicators of the university, will propose a multidisciplinary multidisciplinary outline of the proposed competitive performance indicators of the present study and, in regular and regular meetings, establish competitive culture in the Pyramid of Higher Educational Institution.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the role of nongovernmental schools as a collaborative and emerging organization in Iran, with the goal of empowering the main owners of education and parenthood and creating an atmosphere of cooperation and cooperation. Measuring the effectiveness of these schools, from the internal and external dimensions of the field of development or non-development, and the elimination of strengths and weaknesses. For this purpose, the paper uses a balanced score card model and interim data envelopment analysis. The present research is of a kind, applied-analytical, and in terms of data collection method, is a library-field research. In collecting qualitative data, the data was collected from the population of the study population, which included all key stakeholders and experts in the field of quality of schools. The data collection method in the qualitative section is often interviewed. In this research, the semi-structured interview method will be used according to the objectives and objectives of the research. The interview process in the present study will be designed and implemented in four stages: 1- Planning and initial steps for coordinating the interview; 2- Start the interview by providing general information on the subject and objectives of the research by the researcher; 3- Plan interview questions based on research objectives; 4- Ask questions based on the results of previous interviews; 5- Summarizing and analyzing interview data. To analyze the data, considering the qualitative nature of the information obtained from the interview and extraction of similar concepts in them, the qualitative data coding method has been used. Using simple random sampling method 30 schools from 20 areas of Tehran in the academic year1395-1396 as a statistical sample, 10 of these are elementary schools, 10 secondary schools and 10 secondary schools. Using the Spss and Excel software, the questions have been addressed. Results: 25Units are only efficient for data and data breaks, therefore, these units have potential efficiency and can be effectively achieved provided that the use of optimization methods is maximally effective. In addition, none of the sample units has been identified as ineffective. Inefficient units are units that are not efficient for any of the values of inputs and outputs, these units need to be re-evaluated and modified.  

Abstract Strategic evaluation in the organization is considered as one of the main responsibilities of management and is one of the first and most important parts of strategic planning. In the knowledge age of today, organizations are more successful in implementing new strategies based on competitive advantage and improving their processes and operations by understanding the environment and customers. As an important institution in the field of education, development and provision of human resources, the university must remain competitive in order to meet its customers' demand. Therefore, the desire to survive in this competitive environment, for the open university - in which the reduction of time and space barriers for training and using modern IT-based methods is more than other aspects - from turning to management and Strategic planning has increased the ability to adapt to today's changing environments, as well as ability, accountability and customer satisfaction. One of the most powerful strategic models in this area is the balanced scorecard model, in which all aspects of an organization are balanced. Therefore, using the strengths of this model in strategic management of performance evaluation, the native model of balanced scorecard in open universities is presented and in case of Payame Noor University, as the largest open university in Iran. The results of this research can be effective in developing a balanced scorecard model in the academic sector as well as being applicable to strategic planning and performance evaluation of open universities as well as universities based on distance learning methods.
