    Private voluntary social welfare organizations (PVSOs) adopt strategic planning (SP) due to external pressure. While major change and satisfaction were achieved by half, stakeholder participation and consensus strategies hindered outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Management Science
    • Nonprofit Management
    • Organizational Behavior

    Background:

    • Private voluntary social welfare organizations (PVSOs) face increasing competition.
    • Strategic planning (SP) is a management tool to address competitive environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Examine reasons for SP adoption in PVSOs.
    • Assess attention to external analysis in SP.
    • Evaluate change and satisfaction outcomes from SP.

    Main Methods:

    • Exploratory study of 154 PVSOs.
    • Analysis of management's motivations for SP adoption.
    • Investigation of external analysis focus and outcome achievement.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • PVSOs adopt SP primarily due to external agency requirements.
  • External analysis received minimal attention in the SP process.
  • 50% of organizations achieved significant change, linked to high satisfaction.
  • Extensive stakeholder participation and consensus strategies negatively impacted change and satisfaction.

    • Conclusions:

    • External mandates drive SP adoption in PVSOs, not necessarily internal strategic needs.
    • Limited external focus and specific participation methods may impede effective strategic planning outcomes.
    • Future research should explore optimizing SP processes for enhanced impact in the nonprofit sector.
