Thus, strategic planning intentions to manipulate the innovative and distinctive trends of future after analyzing the institutions internally and externally rather than long range planning, which attempts to enhance for tomorrow the designs of today (Drucker, 1980) .  \nToday's schools, colleges and universities have encountered with fast change. Educational managers are provoking with changes connected with current facilities, progressing innovation, evolving demographics, expanding contention, increasing costs and finance etc. The field of education has started to perceive that ecological analysis in strategic planning is compulsory in demand to retain with a specific responsiveness to the quick dynamic environment (Agwu, 1992; Busler, 1992; Williams, 1992; Hall, 1994) .  \nPakistan is also a developing country and we cannot compete with developed countries in higher education field. The main causes of this situation are lack of resources, implementation of plans and incompetent politicians. Policies are made without strategic planning process. The big problem is that we don’t see the present situations of education sector, needs of the environment and many other things during policy ","cbCaioCB21qRdODn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioCB21qRdODn","pdf",474213,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Strategic planning concepts and environmental analysis\n## SWOT analysis in higher education","[{\"question\":\"What was the primary purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the institutional environment of the University of the Punjab, Lahore.\"},{\"question\":\"How were students selected and how many participated?\",\"answer\":\"The sample consisted of 900 students selected through multistage stratified random sampling.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the analysis reveal about gender differences?\",\"answer\":\"Male and female students showed no major difference in their opinions regarding strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.\"}]","Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats - An Analysis of University of the Punjab | PDF",1792082011,48]
