It is also recommended that strategic plans be developed for think tanks based on the strategies identified in this study, which correspond to five key performance growth areas essential for achieving global-class status. Each of the identified strategies may be considered in light of the mission, vision, values, and situational analysis of think tanks across these five functional domains.

It is noteworthy that this report was prepared by the Research Group on Modern Planning, Budgeting, and Modeling Systems, authored by Romina Farhadi Nezhad under the scientific supervision of Ali Darvishi, and comprises 56 pages.
