abstract: Health care administrators have the unique opportunity to devise strategic planning systems (SPSs) that exclude many of the shortcomings exposed in the SPSs of companies in traditional industrial settings. Here, the problems and potentials of SPSs for health care firms are framed in terms of three major dimensions of the strategic planning system: information, communication, and involvement.
