Abstract
The literature addressing the empirical relationships between strategic planning and hard measures of organizational performance is examined. Distinctions are drawn among formal strategic planning; strategic planning content; and research linking strategic planning, environment, and organizational performance. Implications of the extant research and recommendations for future research are offered for theorists and practitioners alike.Keywords
