STRATEJİ UYGULAMA TARZLARI VE KAMU KURUMLARINDA PERFORMANS: SİSTEMATİK BİR İNCELEME

Stratejik yönetim hem akademik çevrelerde hem de faal özel sektör ve kamu sektörlerinde örgütsel etkinliğin artırılması için önemli bir araç olarak görülmektedir. Çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğu stratejik planlama ve formülasyon aşamalarına odaklanmakta, bununla birlikte, strateji uygulama aşaması hakkında literatürde daha az araştırma bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca, strateji uygulaması ile ilgili çalışmalar genel yönetim literatürü içinde büyük ölçüde dağınıkken, kamu sektöründeki strateji uygulama literatürü genele oranla daha da sınırlıdır. Stratejik yönetim araştırmalarında yaygın olarak 'kayıp halka' olarak kabul edilen strateji uygulamasına odaklanmak, genel strateji süreci ile kurumsal performans arasındaki bağlantı hakkındaki ilişkiyi anlamamıza yardımcı olabilir. Bu nedenle, kamuda stratejik yönetimin doğasını ve önemini kavramak için stratejinin içeriği ile örgütsel strateji sürecini -içerik, formülasyon ve uygulama- içeren bir çerçeve önerilmiş ve kavramsallaştırılmıştır. Makale, rasyonel ve artımlı uygulama olmak üzere iki farklı uygulama stilinin, örgütsel performans ile olan ilişkisini ampirik çalışmaları sistematik olarak gözden geçirerek inceleyecektir. Teorik çıkarımlara makale boyunca yer verilecektir.

IMPLEMENTATION TYPES OF STRATEGIES AND THE PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Strategic management is considered as one of the primary instruments for enhancing performance within both academic literature and the business and public sectors in service. The overwhelming majority of research draw attention on the strategic planning and formulation stages, while the related literature about strategy implementation phase is rather scarce. What’s more, the studies on strategy implementation are highly divided and dispersed in generic management literature, on the other hand, the literature on strategy implementation is particularly limited in the public sector. Concentrating on strategy implementation, largely seen as the ‘missing link’ in the cycle of strategic management, could enable to broaden our understanding of the relationship between organizational performance and the entire strategy process. Therefore, to comprehend the nature of public service strategy implementation, a framework is suggested and conceptualized comprising strategy content and the organizational strategy process -formulation, and implementation-. The paper systematically reviews the empirical research for the relationships between two types of strategy implementation, namely rational and incremental implementation, and organizational performance. Theoretical implications will be addressed throughout the paper.
