The major concern of investment decision-makers is to find the appropriate capital budgeting
techniques to apply. Many factors cause change within an organisation. Strategic
investment management takes a close look at these changing factors.
To this end, a literature study of popular capital budgeting procedures, investment strategic
theory, and a selected method for linking the two was undertaken. A sample of manufacturers
in the Gauteng region of South Africa was chosen to indicate whether there is a correlation
between financial theory and practice.
The results of this survey indicated that financial evaluation was widely practised. Whereas,
strategic analysis was used less often.
The need for an in-depth study of other economic sectors and the financial theory and
practice used by the investment decision-makers in those sectors is identified as a possible
future study. The value inherent in the evaluation of relative performances of manufacturing firms, which have applied similar strategies, is also identified. / Business Management / M. Comm. (Business Management)
