Stratejik Yönetim Kültürü ve Belediyeler: TR82 Bölgesi Belediyeleri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Advances in information and communication technologies in the world have been giving rise to changes in the understanding of management systems. This rapid change and development is also considered as the cause of uncertainties and unpredictability. As a result, managing organizations  with classical management styles is considered to have little chance of success, even if managed. It is increasingly difficult to meet the new needs of human beings with classical management approaches. In this study, it is aimed to examine how basic and current concepts discussed in the theoretical framework related to strategic management are included in the strategy documents of municipalities in practice and in the context of the adoption of strategic management culture, evaluations were made on these concepts.  According to the Turkey Statistical Classification of Territorial Units, the strategic documents of the municipalities of Kastamonu, Cankiri and Sinop provinces, which are the provinces of TR82 region, were determined as the scope of the study. In this context, the results were tried to be interpreted using the “frequency analysis” method through the content analysis model. As a result, in the strategic documents of the municipalities covered in the study, some of the basic and current concepts related to the concept of strategic management are given however, this situation is limited, in particular, it is considered that the small number of new concepts related to strategic management can be seen as a deficiency in strategic documents.
