Abstract

In this study we have aimed at the assessment of the strategic management level in Albania. The study focuses companies and industries selected in the Albanian environment. The purpose of the study is to analyze the business environment of the selected industries, how much do these industries know the environment in which they operate and how capable are they to get oriented in this environment. The study is conducted in the period 2012.The survey data was collected from questionnaire forms filled in by these companies. Two classification criteria were used in selecting the companies: the size of the firm and the nature of the industry the firm belong to. The study is divided into three parts, where the strategic management level of these companies is studied based on each selection criteria. The first part of the survey examines and evaluates the strategic management level by considering the size of the firm. Diversity in management practices as we go around the world has been recognized in U.S management literature for more than 30 years. The term “comparative management†has been used since the 1960s to 2011. However, it has taken much longer for the U.S academic community to accept that not only practices but also the validity of theories may stop at national borders and I wonder whether even today everybody would agree with this statement. The results show that behavioral differentiation affects perceptions of effectiveness. Contrary to the hypothesis, the effects of the four measures of behavioral differentiation on perceptions of effectiveness are not all positive and not all significant. It is interesting that behavioral differentiation affects subordinates and peers perceptions of effectiveness negatively and superiors perceptions of effectiveness positively in management steeps.
