The universities are forced to seek ways to evaluate strategic goals and improve operational performance to obtain a competitive advantage. This is required for attracting more qualified students and reaching higher quality standards. Thus, an efficient decision-making approach should be followed in order to examine the strategic goals of a university. Developing a strategy map along this line would be a useful tool which is a diagram that can be used to illustrate the cause and effect relationship of the primary strategic goals being pursued by an organization. The aim of the study is to evaluate the strategic goals of a university in Turkey to figure out the influential relationship among the goals, prioritize them and finally classify the strategic goals into cause and effect groups. For this purpose, the fuzzy DEMATEL approach was implemented and the interrelationships among the strategic goals were illustrated on a strategy map.
