✦ Synopsis

Strategic data bases (SDB) were prescribed by King and Cleland as the most practically useful way in which salient information could be incorporated into strategic planning processes. Critical success factors are one of several kinds of such strategic data bases, as are carefully-developed concise strength and weakness assessments. While the notion has great face validity, it has not been subjected to stringent empirical assessment. One such assessment is reported on here with the result that the SDB approach gives evidence of being useful and effective.
