Identifying Strategic Approaches to Talents Policymaking In Order to Increase the Efficiency of the Governing System of the Islamic Republic of Iran

As the prominent pioneers of social change, elites of every
society have an essential role in achieving goals and realizing
national policies. By creating supportive capacities and
formulating appropriate policies to manage talents, the
governance system's future can be made more efficient to achieve
public interest. This study's fundamental purpose is to identify
strategic approaches in elite field planning, and the central
question in this research can be posed as "What are the strategic
approaches to determine the key issues in the elite field planning
to streamline the governance system?" In this research, to
identify the approaches, first documentary studies have been
adopted, and in the strategic analysis, Bryson's strategic planning
model has been employed. Four strategies for elite policymaking
have been proposed: Internal- Agent-Based, External- Agent-
Based, Internal- Structure-Based, External- Structure-Based. In
the final part, the AHP decision-making model is used to
prioritize the proposed approaches, and Internal- Agent-Based
and Internal- Structure-Based have been identified as having the
highest priority in elite policymaking.
