Abstract

This paper seeks to discover the pattern of value creation in the National Iranian Copper Industries Company. Given the company's proximity to Holdings and its parent companies, we investigated the issue in a mixed (qualitative and quantitative) study. In the qualitative section, we came up with the conceptual model by interviewing ten empiricists and executives who are familiar with value creation, using the Grounded theory method. The quantitative part was performed by distributing a questionnaire among 183 managers and decision-makers at the National Iranian Copper Company, and the analysis was performed by Smart Plus software to validate the model. The model includes central category (value creation), causal conditions (intrinsic characteristics, relational features of business units, structural and functional features and portfolio features ) underlying conditions (supply chain management, management of systems and methods, resource management and, prospects and Values management), intervening conditions (Iran economic situation, national and international rules, and regulations, competing mothers), strategies (Stand- Alone influence, corporate development, functional and services influence, linkage influence and combination of strategies), and consequences (better resource allocation, formulating a Value Creation Strategies, Performance Management Control, and make a distinction). The results show a positive and significant effect of causal conditions on central category, central category on strategies, context conditions on strategies, intervening conditions on strategies, and strategies on consequences, and all of these variables on value creation in National Iranian Copper Industries Company. The results showed that the National Iranian Copper Industry Company should adopt the best strategy concerning the components mentioned in the model.
