Presenting a Succession Management Model Based on Organizational Capabilities in Knowledge-Based Organizations (Case Study: Science and Technology Park of Tehran University and Science and Technology Park of Tarbiat Modares University

Abstract

World in the present century is full of competition and uncertain environmental factors. The prerequisite of succeeding in this turbulent environment is to achieve numerous competitive advantages such as the ability of people and constant enhancement of quality and productivity level and this can be realized only with having much more intelligent, talented, capable and qualified individuals comparing to current managers who can direct organizations with their knowledge, expertise and experience and who can successfully deliver them to their destination. Succession planning management system with relying on organizational capabilities as a smart strategy for talent management can retain talents inside an organization and can assure the existence of the necessary and required skills for responding to quick environmental changes and can guarantee the future success of an organization. In the present study, with the title of "presenting a model for succession management based on organizational capabilities in knowledge-based organizations (case study: Science and Technology park of University of Tehran and Science and Technology park of Tarbiat Modares University" with the application of qualitative strategy of grounded theory, we have tried to study the current status of organizational capabilities and succession monument in Science and Technology park of University of Tehran and Science and Technology park of Tarbiat Modares University and to propose a comprehensive model for succession management based on organizational capabilities and proportional with the effective factors and internal and external characteristics of these two organizations. The approach used in this study is a mix approach and hence, for developing the comprehensive research model, qualitative and quantitative approaches (in combination with one another) were used. The present study in terms of methodology is a exploratory survey, causal, applied and fundamental study. Statistical population of the present study is consisted of academic experts and specialists in Science and Technology park of University of Tehran and Science and Technology Park of Tarbiat Modares University and data collection was continued until reaching a saturation point. For selecting sample volume, snow ball method was used and finally, the research model was developed based on the opinions of 27 experts. In the second stage, the presented research model was tested by using SPSS 20, Lisrel8.8 and smartPLS.03 and results indicated that the relationships and components of the proposed model are significant.
