expectations (Pearce and Robinson, 2014).
Strategic Planning is a process by which we can predict the future and develop the necessary procedures and operations to influence and achieve that future. As in many other fields, strategic planning professionals often wrap their work in pseudo-scientific jargon designed to glorify their work and create client dependence.

1.1 Background
to the Study
Successful implementation of a business strategy occurs when leadership, management systems, organizational structures and organizational culture change are all aligned to the strategy. Organizational culture is closely connected to the productivity and is critical to the business success as this is the process which an organization develops its internal capacity to be effective in its mandate in the short, medium and long term running.
