The research population consisted of all articles published in ISI journals, books, as well as domestic and foreign dissertations related to branding in the service industry during 1996 and 2020. Findings According to the CIPP model, the authors identified 16 concepts and 176 codes for the context, input, process, and output of the related literature. Research findings indicate that, as the "contextual" indicator, the environment proximity is effective on the strategic development of the branding process. The "inputs" of strategic development of the branding process include the following four factors: structural, managerial, financial, and employee factors. The crucial issue of strategic development of the branding process is the "process", which consists of formation of brand strategy, brand analysis and evaluation, planning and instructions, program development, and executive measures. The desired outcome of the proposed research model is to achieve the "output" (outcome) of strategic development, which includes organizational, managerial, financial, human resources, and marketing performance. Conclusion The findings of this study help researchers and stakeholders in the field of service branding to develop a comprehensive understanding of the strategic development of the branding process. It includes the variables and considerations to take into account in four categories of contexts, inputs, process, and outputs.
