Abstract
This research is mainly concerned with designing a structural-interpretative model for Research and Technology missions of Imam Hussein Comprehensive University. These missions include the foundations and science of Islamic humanities, future development, internal and external deepening, organizational excellence and progress of university, soft power, semi-hard power, and hard power. University must have an accurate estimation of its various missions with the flexibility to respond to these missions. Classification of these missions into knowledge, research and technology can be a response to these concerns. Interpretative structural modeling was used to categorize these missions. Eleven university professors and managers were interviewed to design the model and analyze the influence power and dependence based on the MicMac analysis. The results indicated that Islamic Humanities and future development were at 4th level, organizational excellence and progress were at the 3rd level, soft power, semi-hard power and hard power were at 2nd level, and internal and external deepening were at level 1. The results also showed that the main origins of knowledge, research and technology missions are Islamic sciences and future development. The results will help the senior managers of the university, as well as the higher commanders of the organization find out the origin of the knowledge missions to develop and expand it in the organization.
