Adopted
by major universities to 
address
the planning needs of higher education in the 1980’s, strategic planning
is defined as the process of developing and maintaining a strategic fit
between the organization 
and
its changing environments. Strategic planning is based upon the formation
of operational goals designed to advance the institution’s mission and
ensure long-term viability and excellence. Strategy development at Murray
State University is an inclusive, systematic, and continuous process.
