Özet

Stratejik planlama, örgütlerin güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini, fırsatlarını ve tehditlerini hesaba katarak kendilerini iç ve dış çevreleriyle birlikte uzun vadeli düşünme, değerlendirme, programlama ve yönetme süreci olarak tanımlanabilir. Böyle bir süreç, yöneticileri, örgütün tüm potansiyelinden yararlanmaya, esnek ve şeffaf örgüt yapısı ve kuralları oluşturmaya ve karar alma ve uygulama evrelerinde rakipleri göz önünde bulundurmaya zorlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiyedeki devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinde stratejik planlama sürecinin algılanma biçimlerini, sürecin ne kadar etkin yö- netildiğini ve karşılaşılan sorunları karşılaştırmalı olarak ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak elde edilen veriler, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel analiz kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinde stratejik planlama sürecinin, kamu ve özel sektör kültürünün etkisiyle şekillendiği, karşılaşılan sorunların da bu kültürden kaynaklandığı ve vakıf üniversitelerinde sürecin devlet üniversitelerine göre daha etkin yönetildiği söylenebilir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Stratejik planlama süreci, üniversite, nitel araştırma yöntemi.
