The objectives of the study include to examine relationship between policy implementation and organizational resiliance, to examine the relationship between time management and organizational resilience, to examine the relationship between effective decision making and organizational resilience and to determine the relationship between discipline and organizational resilience. The case study approach was adopted. The study was designed to focus on some selected multinational firms in Port Harcourt metropolis Rivers State which include Agip, Shell and Indorama, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where primary data, via questionnaires were collected. The population of the study was one hundred and thirty three(133). The Yaro Yemen’s formulae was used to determine the sample size of 100. The simple percentage was used to analyse data. The chi-square (X2) statistical test was employed to test the hypothesis. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between strategic planning and organizational resilience. Based on the findings, of the study summary, conclusion and recommendations were made that on budgetary allocations, the organization should seek more funds which should be directed to research instead of administration so that a lot of emphasis given to main objectives of institute so that it may be able to achieve all that it sets to achieve, organization structures should enable individual teams deal with specifications, performance review process should enable the actual performance be easily measured and reviewed.
In order to assess the level of success or otherwise of a corporate body, its established strategic plans relative to the performance of the organization in all fronts of operations have to be ascertained. Formulating, implementing and the evaluation of a Strategic Plan indisputably become a major activity in both profit and not-for-profit organizations, especially, in commercial banks.
Strategic Plan provides the basic direction and rationale for determining the focus of an organization; and also provides the specification against which any organization may best decide what to do and how to do it. Simply put, it is a process for creating and describing a better future in measurable terms and the selection of the best means to achieve the results desired. It is important to note that not all planning is actually strategic even though they may be termed so. It is said that failure to plan leads to planning to fail.
Strategic planning standardizes the processes of goal/objective setting, situation analysis, alternative consideration, implementation and evaluation that enable an organization to attain its goals and objectives (Tapinos et. al. 2005). Sarason and Tegarden, (2003) asserted to the positive correlation between strategic planning and performance achievements as very beneficial for organizations. In their studies Dyson, (2000); McAdam and Bailie, (2002) further emphasized the need for organizations to align their strategies with the organization performance measurement systems.
Organizational resiliency refers to an organization’s ability to create an environment that enhances career resiliency of their employees (Brock & Grady, 2002; Nishikawa, 2006). An organization committed to building resilient employees will foster openness in communication, encouragement of individual contributions for personal growth, risk-taking all with the promise of employee recognition and rewards (O’Leary, 1998). Resilient organizations structure and restructure themselves to attain a mission, support the optimal development of shared decision-making. They provide feedback, set goals, and have intelligence-gathering mechanisms (Nishikawa, 2006). They employ people who react quickly and efficiently to change and perceive experiences constructively, ensuring adequate external resources, expand decision-making boundaries, develop the ability to create solutions on the spot, and develop tolerance for uncertainty (R. R. Greene et al., 2002).
Clearly, these statements emphasize the importance and the need for a comprehensive, systematic and dynamic strategic planning for every bank which seeks to survive competition in the changing global competitive in the banking environment. Ansoff (2000) argues that planning generally produces better alignment and financial results in bank which are strategically managed than those which are not. This suggests an apparent correlation between strategic planning and the ultimate performance of a company in terms of its growth, profits, attainment of objectives and sustained competitiveness (Strickland, 2004).
The need for organizations to plan and monitor their activities in order to focus resources and efforts to ensure their future survival, consultants and educational programmes. Strategic planning is now a routine part of business or organizations with an accompanying set of beliefs and protocols that underpin the day-to-day practice. As indicated in the works of Ring and Perry (2001), Bryson and Roering(2007) as well as Nutt and Backoff (1993), the conceptualization that best recognizes and appropriates all the possibilities of strategy may be termed strategic. Each of the three aspects is essential to the others: Strategic Thinking, Strategic Planning, and Strategic Action.
