Abstract

Identification of strategic issues is a key managerial task. This study reports on an exploratory survey effort to identify strategic issues as perceived by managers of a diverse sample of agribusiness firms. The results suggest that both strategic management and strategic issue identification are important to agricultural managers. In general there was considerable commonality of interest expressed relative to individual strategic issues. However, the existence of key differences in concern were documented based on structural characteristics of the firm.
