The study is structured along ahypothesis testing framework.

Comparative analyses are made ofinter-country and inter-industry differences in strategicplanning practices. Hypotheses concerning the interrelationshipsof strategic, contextual and performance variables are thensubjected to statistical testing. This study found interestingindividual as well as patterns of correlationships betweenstrategic-contextual, contextual-performance, andstrategic-performance variables.
