The study aims to simulate the strategies of Islamic Azad University (Tabriz branch) during 2019- 2034 period through system dynamics approach. Based on research literature, student trend, physical resources, educational quality, human resources, research and publication and financial operation were considered as key effective variables in formulating the strategies. By using reliable theories in the field of problem-solving literature and experts' opinion, causal relations between variables have defined in the form of mathematical functions and finally simulated has been done. The scenarios were formulated and analyzed based on three main objectives, namely cost reduction, increase of revenue and educational quality development. Results show that by the implementation of downsizing scenario in Tabriz Azad University, the tuition rate of the university experienced a decrease of five percent. The second scenario show that if research budget experiences a change of 40%, non-fee revenues would grow 19%. The simulation of the third scenario revealed that, 25% increment of new investments in Tabriz Azad University leads to the growth of student attraction rate by 17% in long term. By considering results of three scenarios we could suggest that Tabriz Azad University should follow the two strategies of increasing research budget and making use of new investments.

Introducing strategic human resource management makes human resource management researcher the understood about the relationships between corporate strategy, human capital, human resource strategy and firm performance. One of the key mysterious subjects in this field appears to be understanding of processes and mechanisms that human resource management practices influence firm performance through them. It seems that with regard to importance of corporate strategies and their effect on firm performance, coordination between human resource, human capital and organizational strategies is one of the issues that can have significant effect on the relationship between human resource management practices and firm performance.
The main purpose of of this paper is to investigate the effect of the strategic cooperation between human resource, human capital and organizational behavior strategies on the firm performance. Data analysis shows that the firm performance would improve if there were
Coordination between human resource strategy and human capital strategy and organizational behavior strategy and also between human resource strategy and human capital strategy and organizational behavior strategy.
Finally, the results show that strategic coordination between human resource strategy and human capital and organizational behavior have significant effect on the firm performance.
