This article has endeavored to show that strategic planning is applicable to even the smallest, least complex organization. Strategic planning does not have to be, nor should it be, an extra burden foist on an already overworked staff. It can be an important, supportive element of the management process. Inclusion of strategic planning in an organization's routine management practice can help to perpetuate the organization. As one author (Infield 1989) recently noted, "In the current competitive health care environment, strategic planning capabilities may determine the survival of many long-term care programs and services."
本文力图表明，战略规划甚至适用于最小、最不复杂的组织。战略规划不必成为，也不应该成为强加给本已工作过度的员工的额外负担。它可以成为管理过程中的一个重要支持要素。将战略规划纳入组织的日常管理实践有助于组织长久存续。正如一位作者（英菲尔德，1989年）最近指出的：“在当前竞争激烈的医疗保健环境中，战略规划能力可能决定许多长期护理项目和服务的存亡。”
