Résumé
L’étude du lien entre la planification stratégique rationnelle et la performance a occupé une place importante dans la recherche en management stratégique durant ces quatre dernières décennies. Bien qu’une littérature abondante suggère une relation positive, plusieurs auteurs défendent la thèse inverse. Cet article contribue à ce débat important aussi bien pour les chercheurs que pour les managers en accordant une importance particulière à l’opérationnalisation des notions de planification stratégique rationnelle et de performance. Une étude empirique quantitative internationale conduite auprès d’entreprises européennes, nord-américaines, asiatiques, du Moyen-Orient révèle l’existence d’une association positive entre la planification stratégique rationnelle et la performance.

Although an extensive literature suggests a positive relationship, several authors support the opposite view. This paper contributes to this important debate for both researchers and managers, with an emphasis on the operationalization of the concepts of rational strategic planning and company performance. A quantitative empirical study conducted among European, North American, Asian and Middle Eastern companies, reveals a positive association between rational strategic planning and company performance.
