Abstract:
In Ebonyi State today, there are different Tertiary Institutions, with the managements left with the function of coordinating both the men and the materials in the institution for the purpose of training and producing the needed manpower that can fit in, in the society. Sequel to this, therefore, this research delved into advocating the need for the introduction of the administrative/managerial tactic known as ‘Strategic Management.’ The objectives of the study perhaps, are to: Find out the extent the application of strategic management in the tertiary institutions in Ebonyi State promotes effective and efficient service delivery in the institutions; Ascertain the extent regular formulation of vision and mission statements redirects the managements of the tertiary institutions in Ebonyi State towards tackling the administrative challenges facing the institutions; Find out the extent auditing is employed by the managements of the tertiary institutions in Ebonyi State to understand the strength and opportunities of the institutions; Determine the extent staff-performance evaluation helps the managements of the tertiary institutions in Ebonyi State to promote effective teaching and learning in the institutions. The theory adopted in the study is the Scientific Management Theory by Frederick Wilson Taylor (1856). The research design adopted is a descriptive survey design. The following are some of the findings made: Defining and re-defining the current business and mission make the school management change the ineffective policies and programmes for the effective ones; Carrying out proper internal and external auditing helps managers to know where they do well and where they need to improve in their services; Evaluation of job performance provides robust knowledge on the extent the projects and programmes of the tertiary institutions in Ebonyi State are implemented. The researchers finally recommended as follows: There should be the adoption of all the strategic management processes in running the affairs of the tertiary institutions in Ebonyi State.
