Abstract

Development organizations are facing serious challenges such as lack of international competition, inability of competing with rivals, and under-development in industrial schemes. In such a condition, the development organizations need a strategic renewal to improve their plans and frameworks for empowering their organizational abilities. If such a renewal does not happen, it might damage the reputation of the organization and decrease the productivity and success in the long run. This study, accordingly, aims to identify and prioritize the consequences of strategic non-renewal of the development organizations considering the general policies. The aim is practical and it employs a qualitative-quantitative research method within the comparative-deductive paradigm. The population in the qualitative analysis includes professors, managers, and ex- and current runners of the governmental companies affiliated with IDRO The purposeful sampling was done through snowball sampling method, which gathered 22 individuals. The population, in the quantitative analysis, consisted of the middle and higher managers of the companies affiliated with IDRO. Based on the DEMATEL analysis, the unproductive organizational structure, lack of knowledge, the conflict between work and life had the most impact, and damaging the organizational prestige, lack of competition in the market, and reduced productivity had attracted the most influence. Some of the main consequences included inability to make decision, reduced productivity, and ineffective organizational performance.
