Abstract
This thesis examines the link between strategic foresight, various management practices and organizational performance by drawing on data from a sample of 250 Pakistani textile organizations obtained from a questionnaire survey. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is employed to test the study’s hypothesis.
The main findings of the study are as follows:
• The study confirmed the hypotheses that there is a direct positive link between strategic foresight and company performance in textile firms in Pakistan, and that promotion of strategic foresight management practices enhances company performance.
• The results showed that with companies having a family member as CEO, there is a higher number of management practices significantly influencing the company performance.
• The results revealed that some of the dimensions of general strategy, for example, carry a significant impact on some of the financial measures in the study.
In the process of establishing the strategic foresight, management practices and organizational performance relationship, the study highlights implications for practitioners, policy makers and academicians.
Prior studies have generally focused on firms from advanced industrialized countries, however, this study was explicitly modelled in a developing country context and specifically in the case of Pakistan textile organizations. This study implements a fresh approach using four types of literatures (strategic foresight literature, management practices literature, organizational performance literature and Pakistani organizations literature), synergising their insights as contextual intelligence and then empirically testing them.
