Knowledge and Technology are now identified as the most fundamental indices of development as knowledge acquisition is the main means to gain real independence, which seems possible in the light of research. As a theoretical endeavor, research has dominated its umbrella of significance over the activities of military organizations. It seems, however, no comprehensive assessment has been conducted on the trend of non-industrial research in the army. In a bid to apply BSC and survey strategy map as to the non-industrial research in the army suffering from relative inefficiencies and irregularities, this study was conducted based on the Iranian Prospective Development Document and Law of the Army. As an applied-developmental research in kind and a case study in methodology, this study employed a sample of 385 out of 900 member population. To this end, for each perspective raised in the strategy map, a number of strategic objectives and consequently appropriate scales of measurement were designed. The findings revealed that majority of the objectives suffer from undesirable status (i.e. yellow or red), and the performance assessment as well as the cause-effect relationship showed that the organizational inefficiency originates from an ill definition of the cause-effect relationship on one hand and inefficiency in the strategic objectives of prime importance from the financial views and the stakeholders on the other.
