Abstract

The book "Strategic Decision-Making with a Messianic Perspective," authored by Dr. Gholamreza Goodarzi, is written with the aim of examining and analyzing strategic decision-making with a Mahdist approach. This book, consisting of seven sections, addresses various topics including foresight, eschatology, and strategic decision-making models, and endeavors to present indigenous and practical models for macro policy-making by combining religious concepts and strategic management. The expectation of the Savior, which belongs not only to the Shi'ites but to all justice-seekers, is the central theme of this book. Dr. Goodarzi seeks to demonstrate how the thought of Mahdism can be utilized in macro decision-making and transform this expectation into a new civilizational culture. The book, by offering the Global Horizon model and a detailed examination of related concepts, aims to assist managers and policymakers in making more long-term and comprehensive decisions.
