Business Excellence Models (BEM) are frameworks can help organizations to focus thought and action in a more systematic and structured way that should lead to increased performance. By implementation of excellence models and self-assessment, organizations enable to define different improvement projects. Therefore, improvement projects as a key pillar of business excellence models is one of the main success factors of BEMs. The present research seeks to identify and categorize the components the implementation of improvement projects in BEMs by analyzing how improvement projects are managed to provide guidance for their implementation in organizations. In this regard, by reviewing the literature and conducting semi-structured interviews with experts, 15 components to manage improvement projects have been identified and evaluated using an accredited questionnaire. By using exploratory factor analysis, the components are categorized into four main factors including definition and prioritization, implementation, formalization and support, structured and integrated monitoring of improvement projects. This research identifies and classifies the components of improvement projects, enabling a broader understanding of managers and experts in implementing business excellence models and enhancing the effectiveness of the process of organizational excellence.

This is a philosophical study with critical paradigm, using symbolic interactionism with fundamental orientation, inductive reasoning, the qualitative library-based approach, the Grounded Theory, meta-synthesis and the content analysis method. It aims to describe and explore the business excellence model and identify its variables and indicators based on a futuristic approach. Using the meta-synthesis and meta-analysis techniques, the methods involve open, axial and selective coding, resulting in a new concept. The required data were collected through a review and study of the documents on business excellence models. The study specifically focused on the models set forth in valid magazines and journals with the theoretical sampling logic in order to reach theoretical saturation. We used two long-term and holistic participatory strategies for validity, as well as two coders with agreement on open coding for reliability. We used the MAXQDA software for data analysis. The findings of this study were obtained from 101 conceptual models of business excellence and 869 concepts or open codes at the coding stage. Then the basic codes with the same meanings were divided into 24 major categories, which led to the creation of five dimensions at the selective coding stage and a theoretical concept with the dimensions of people, market, work, management, and underlying factors. This theory made an important contribution to the success of small and medium-sized businesses by taking into account the new paradigms for assessing businesses in the future.
