Excerpt from Modeling the Effectiveness of a Strategic Planning System A theoretical model of the influences on the effectiveness of strategic planning systems is developed and tested empirically using path analysis. The model recognizes three major conceptual domains that bear upon planning effectiveness and is intended to allow the assessment of planning effectiveness from a broader perspective than has been common in the literature to date. It proposes that the organizational context of the planning system is the primary influence on the orientation or planning system (as reflected in its functional coverage, emphasis in techniques, attention to internal and external facets). A new construct termed capability of the system is developed and it is argued that 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, namely, the organizational context, the planning orientation, and system capability. The model thus incorporates complex interlinkages and enables effectiveness to be construed in both outcome and process terms. Path analysis allows the empirical validation of a set of propositions underlying the model. Implications of the results for management practice, as well the theoretical and methodological contributions are elaborated.
