STRATEGIC PLANNING AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: A SYNTHESIS OF MORE THAN TWO DECADES OF RESEARCH.
基于26项已发表研究的元分析数据，构建了一个权变模型，发现战略规划对企业绩效有正向影响，而方法因素（而非先前强调的权变因素）是导致文献中不一致结果的主要原因。
Building on previous contingency frameworks, we developed an encompassing contingency model that might explain the inconsistent planning-performance findings reported in previous research. The model was empirically tested using meta-analytic data drawn from 26 previously published studies. Results suggest that strategic planning positively influences firm performance and that methods factors are primarily responsible for the inconsistencies reported in the literature. The substantive contingency factors that we examined, some of which have been frequently cited as important by previous researchers, did not have a large impact.
