Synopsis
Excerpt from Modeling the Effectiveness of a Strategic Planning System
The objectives dimension is conceptualized with reference to operative goals pursued by organizations (steers, The literature has emphasized the following major objectives of planning: financial benefits such as improvement in short-term and long-term economic performance (king Cleland, 1978; Lorange Vancil, 1977; Steiner, predicting future trends (amara, 1981; Ansoff, 1975; King Cleland, 1978; Paul Donovan Taylor, evaluation of alternatives (camillus, 1975; Lorange, avoiding problem areas (lorange Vancil, and enhancing management development (hex Majluf, 1984; King Cleland, The system-capab dimension is non-obvious and requires some elaboration. The underlying logic for treating this as an effectiveness dimension stems from Lorange's (1979) arguments that a system's capabilities should be treated as a measure of planning success. To quote Lorange: many of the measures [of effectiveness] were based on some general surrogate variable, when it probably would have been more relevant to measure effectiveness as a function of how well the formal planning system's capabilities were able to meet the specific planning needs (1979; p. 230; emphasis added). This suggests a cascading relationship. At one level, improving the system's capabilities is effectiveness. At deeper level, ultimate outcome effectiveness arises from improved system capability. Accordingly, we treat this dimension as an intermediate level in the modeling of strategic planning effectiveness.

Modeling the Effectiveness of a Strategic Planning System (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a theoretical model of the influences on the effectiveness of strategic planning systems, tested empirically using path analysis. The model incorporates complex interlinkages and enables effectiveness to be construed in both outcome and process terms. It recognizes three major conceptual domains that bear upon planning effectiveness. The first domain reflects the organizational context of planning which is believed to be an overriding influence on both the design and effectiveness of a system. The second domain reflects four planning system design characteristics, termed collectively as planning system orientation. The final domain is designed to capture two distinct aspects of planning system effectiveness. Improvements in the capability of the system are impacted by the organizational context and planning orientation. Ultimate system effectiveness, in terms of fulfillments of key planning objectives, is then determined directly and indirectly by the above antecedent influences. The author argues that the indirect effects would be stronger than the direct effects. This book will be of significant interest to both practitioners and researchers in the field of strategic management.
