Planning perceptions and planning results
研究了61家公司的数据，检验规划认知与规划结果之间的关联，并回顾了以往实证研究的结论，对战略规划是否提升绩效提供了新证据。
Abstract The need for planning in business organizations operating in today's complex environment is widely accepted. Implied is an assumption that planning improves performance. However, the empirical evidence for such a claim is thin. Since planning is an integral part of strategy formulation, the facts to confirm or refute an assumed connection between planning and performance invite attention. Our research focuses on new data from 61 companies which test this linkage and, in addition, reviews the conclusions of prior empirical studies.
