Sažetak
Nowadays, the business environment is dynamic
and constantly changing, which intensifies competition
among companies. The complexity of competition in
multi-business holding companies is higher than in other
organisations due to the complexities of different industries and their uncertainties in terms of investment policies and corporate strategies. Such companies need a
strategic plan to align business requirements with their
various functions. In this regard, strategic planning man
agers (SPMs) have a significant role in analysing possible
business scenarios and putting optimal plans in place to
guarantee their implementation in a specific timeline.
This study aims to identify and discuss the necessary competencies and capabilities of this cohort of managers. In
the present article, a qualitative approach was adopted,
and the findings are based on observations in a case study
multi-discipline holding organisation. The viewpoints of
the key managers were obtained, and a competency frame
work was developed. The results indicate that the professional competencies of SPMs can be explained in terms of
the two aspects of (1) strategy formulation and (2) strategy
implementation. A framework is presented in this paper
that summarises the viewpoints of managers in the case
study organisation on the requisite competencies of SPMs.
Although prior studies explain the general competencies
of managers from a universal perspective, this study steps
beyond the borders of such models and extends the literature on the professional competencies of a specific and
most influential cohort of business managers in holding
organisations through an in-depth case study.
