Visions for scientific and research cooperation between Iran and Latin America

The history of economic relations between Iran and Latin America dates back to the distant past, however, scientific cooperation between Iran and Latin America does not have much history and this cooperation has been signed in the form of joint memorandums of understanding by the parties. The level of scientific cooperation in some fields such as medicine, engineering, chemistry and materials science is higher, and in some other sciences such as various branches of humanities, geology, cosmology, etc., it needs to be strengthened. Today, organizations are in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment, which is referred to as the VUCA environment. This word is an abbreviation of the four words volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. The word volatile reflects the speed and volatility of environmental changes. Due to the increasing complexity of activities and the rapidly changing and turbulent environment of today's world, managers have realized that traditional planning will no longer solve their problems. On the other hand, their slightest negligence will have irreparable consequences. Therefore, having strategic management is considered a necessity in organizations, and managers seek to find the right direction to guide their organizations in today's turbulent environment by using it. Strategic planning is carried out in line with the vision. The vision describes an ideal framework for the future of the organization. The present study is organized with a descriptive-analytical approach and aims to examine the visions, strategies, and goals of these collaborations. The conclusion of this study is that Iran can outline its vision at two levels: short-term and long-term goals with strategic insight.
