Strategic planning dimension in Italian universities

In this paper we analyze both structure and substance of the planning process support documentation. We have identified a set of dimensions widely used in both theory and practice and related to what is commonly referred to as Performance (Performance management). For research purposes we distinguish between process related dimensions and substance related dimensions. With respect to the for mentioned distinction we construct a cluster matrix of the universities where a position of a single university inside the projection is defined as a function of the plan quality variables and the process quality variables.
