Abstract: The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, to establish a list of the strategic planning techniques and tools utilized by organizations in business enterprises. Second, to classify these techniques and tools by industry type, i.e., enterprises from different sectors, manufacturing, banking, hospitality, and service industries. Third, to determine the ten most common strategic planning techniques and tools used by these enterprises. A systematic literature review was adopted to attain the purpose of the current research paper covering the period 2006-2021. The review was carried out using Google Scholar platform focusing on articles on business enterprises, i.e., excluding articles on public, healthcare, education, and non-profit organizations. A total of 46 articles were found and classified based on industry type. The Findings shown there are 45 strategic planning techniques and tools used by business enterprises from different sectors, and the most frequent tools are: benchmarking, SWOT analysis, CSFs analysis, TQM, balanced scorecard analysis, competitor analysis, CRM, Porter’s five-forces analysis, customer satisfaction analysis, and PEST analysis. This paper expands the extant literature on strategic planning techniques and tools through focusing on such techniques and tools in business enterprises to develop an updated business-related list for enterprises from different sectors, manufacturing, banking, hospitality, and service industries, as well as identifying the ten most common strategic techniques and tools that business enterprises use in general.
