Strategic Management in Public Administration

Dr. Rodica PRIPOAIE, Dr. Mihaela AGHENIȚEI

ABSTRACT: 

Strategic management is an approach to strategizing by public organizations that integrates strategy formulation and implementation, and typically includes strategic planning to formulate strategies, ways of implementing strategies, as well as continuous strategic learning. Strategic management can help public organizations achieve important goals and create public value. Strategy is what links capabilities and aspirations. Four broad types of strategists, as individuals, teams, organizations, and collaborations and in public administration exist: the reactor – low aspirations, low capabilities, the dreamer – high aspirations, low capabilities, the underachiever – low aspirations, high capabilities, and the savvy strategist – high aspirations, high capabilities. There are eight approaches to strategic planning. More comprehensive process approaches include those influenced by the Harvard Policy Model, logical incrementalism, and stakeholder management. More partial process approaches include strategic negotiations, strategic issues management, and strategic planning as a framework for innovation. Finally, two content approaches also exist, namely, portfolio and competitive forces analyses.
