TEHRAN - The Association of Iranian Elites and Knowledge-Based Companies has decided to take a step toward improving the country’s managerial system and productivity by identifying and introducing capable managers from among elites.

Studies show that the country's main problem is an inefficient economy and high prices. Such issues have led to reduced productivity, inefficiency, and a lack of meritocracy in the country's management system, Abuzar Shahpari, the head of the Association, has said.

Accordingly, we decided to take action by identifying and introducing capable elites and managers and to play an effective role in improving the country's management system, he added.

This process will begin by identifying and supporting elites to enter city councils and urban management areas across the country, he noted.

The Association has asked Saeed Mohammad, with a successful track record in management and fighting corruption, to lead this movement. More details will be announced on February 24, coinciding with Engineer's Day.
