Synopsis

A practical framework for measuring how well planning systems work.

This book presents a two‑dimensional model that links a planning system’s capabilities to the actual fulfillment of planning objectives, helping managers understand what drives success.

Grounded in research from large corporations, it shows how to move beyond simple financial metrics and use reliable indicators that capture both the process and the outcomes of strategic planning. The work explains how to test the model with real data and assess the independence and predictive power of its dimensions.

  • Two core dimensions: improvements in planning capabilities (the means) and fulfillment of planning objectives (the ends).
  • A tested measurement scheme that uses context‑free indicators suitable for large sample studies.
  • Guidance on validating the model with data, including reliability and validity checks.
  • Discussion of when and how to apply the model in strategic planning research and practice.

Ideal for readers interested in strategic planning effectiveness, measurement, and research methods in management.
