Abstract

The current research literature on strategy formation processes (formulation and implementation) in health care organizations is reviewed. A new, integrated model of the linkages between strategy formation process and content is developed based on the general strategic management literature. This framework is applied systematically to the health care organizational literature. Issues of control, collectivity, change, choice and thinking are examined in detail as they apply to strategy formation processes in health care organizations.
