Abstract
The alignment of knowledge and business strategies in the era of globalization, due to the ever-increasing amount of chaos, instability and increasing complexity of the global environment, is one of the most important challenges of the organization. Paying attention to the process of alignment is a very important step in successful implementation of strategies and achieving goals. This study aims to discover and build network and map of the themes of alignment of knowledge and business strategies based on the theory of activity domain in an Iranian organizational university. To this end, directed qualitative content analysis in 12 steps was used to answer the research questions. The results show that four capabilities (academic, physical, character and special) are needed to meet the strategic intellectual needs of the organizational university. By using 6 modalities of spatialization, temporalization, stabilization, mediation, contextualization and transition of a common understanding or communal meaning about the organization's knowledge resources and capabilities and strategic intellectual needs, operational alignment is created. It is concluded that the alignment of knowledge and business strategies in organizational universities can be operationalized on the basis of a common framework called activity domain. To achieve organizational goals, adopting a suitable approach for alignment is very important and can lead to success and achieving a sustainable competitive advantage for the organization.
