Abstract

In an era of heightened global uncertainty, organizations face increasing challenges to remain adaptable and financially resilient. This study explores the impact of integrated strategic management (ISM) approaches—defined as the alignment of planning, execution, and evaluation processes—on both adaptability and long-term financial performance in volatile economic settings. By reviewing key contributions from existing literature and analyzing trends in real-world cases through simulated data, we argue that ISM significantly enhances organizational resilience and financial outcomes. The paper concludes by offering strategic recommendations for firms aiming to navigate economic volatility through holistic management approaches.
