Methods of Strategic Analysis Used by Strategic Documents Processing in the Ministry of DefenceReview

Monika Grasseová-Motyčková, Jiří Richter

The most frequently used methods during strategic documents processing at the Ministry of Defence are group discussion, brainstorming, discussion and analysis of stakeholders. SWOT analysis and other methods are represented in less than a fifth of cases. The research results show that some methods are used in methodologically wrong way, meanwhile, the most common method used is intuition based on experience. Implementation of strategic analysis usually encounters at the Ministry of Defence a lot of barriers. The article describes the results of research in this area and presents some recommendations for improvement, particularly synergistic use of methods called multi-methodology.

Keywords: Questionnaire; Strategic Management; Strategic Analysis; Methods; Ministry of Defence.
