Problem Statement
The research to define the relationship between strategic planning and organizational
performance is based on a conceptual research, where the results are derived from the
available data or through collecting information from the managers. The extent of the
correlation between strategic planning and organizational performance is not
quantified. This research is to measure and quantify the organizational performance
(financial) enhancement, i.e. how much profit increases after implementing strategic
planning in specific organizations.
Hypothesis
1. Strategic planning and financial performance
H0 = Strategic planning improves the financial performance of small organizations.
Ha = Strategic Planning does not improve the financial performance of small
organizations.
2. Strategic planning and employee performance
H0 = Strategic planning improves employee performance of small organizations.
Ha = Strategic Planning does not improve employee performance of small
organizations.
Expected findings
The researcher expects that the implementation of strategic planning will increase 5 to
10 percent of the net profit of the organizations.
