Strategic Analysis of the Swedish Prison & Probation Service

This study examines the strategic analysis of the Swedish Prison & Probation Service, and how it is perceived by employees at Kumla Prison. The strategic analysis was conducted by examining and comparing official information to a strategic framework by Steinþórsson (2003b), based on four dimensions; Purpose, content, process, and context. Objectives and ethics were added to the analysis. Perception was examined with a specially designed online questionnaire. The results indicate that the Swedish Prison & Probation Service does indeed have well defined strategic management, with every relevant dimension of the strategic analysis framework fulfilled. In addition, they have an objective and well defined ethical guidelines in their procedures. Response-rate was 31%, and employees most often strongly agreed, or somewhat agreed to the statements of the questionnaire. Mostly prison officers responded to the questionnaire.
