Evaluation of Strategic Plans of Municipalities İn Turkey: A Consistency Analysis

Journal Title: Stratejik Yönetim Araştırmaları Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

This study aims to explore whether there is a consistency between the core components of the strategic plans documented by metropolitan municipalities; and thus, to find out whether these plans are prepared as a product of conscious effort that is appropriate to the nature of the strategy phenomenon. Based on case studies of strategic plans of three major metropolitan municipalities, İstanbul, İzmir and Ankara, in Turkey, a content analysis is carried out in order to answer two research questions: (i) to what extent do vision and mission statements of these institutions shed light on their goals and objectives? and (ii) to what extent do their environmental perception relate to their goals and objectives? The analysis reveals that the strategic plans of the Metropolitan municipalities have a large extent of internal consistency. This study contributes to strategic planning literature by proposing a systematic rubric about how to conduct an internal consistency analysis of strategic plans.
