Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Framework for Strategic Planning in Multinational Corporations Strategic planning in a multinational corporation has a two - fold task: to identify the strategic Options most relevant to the corporation and to narrow down these Options into the one best plan. Stated this way there is of course nothing fundamentally different between the stra tegic planning task of a multinational corporation and that of any other large corporation. However, since multinationals Offer several complex and distinctively different approaches to organizational design and planning, it is useful to examine some Of the problems of strategic planning in the context Of the multinationals. The broad definition Of the strategic planning tasks given above has several implications. In order to be able to identify the most relevant strategic Options, the corporation needs to adapt continuously to the environment. Also, in order to narrow down the strategic Options into the one best plan, the corporation must be able to integrate its many diverse activities. In this article we shall attempt to clarify the major purposes of planning in the multinationals in terms Of adap tation and integration needs.
