THE IMPACT OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT ON ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN UAE GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to explore the impact of strategic management on achieving sustainable development in government institutions in the United Arab Emirates, through a systematic review of previous research and analyzing the role of government policies and strategies in promoting sustainability. In light of the UAE Vision 2030 and 2071, strategic management has become a pivotal tool in formulating and implementing development plans that balance economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Strategic management relies on long-term planning, effective governance, and the use of technology to improve institutional performance and ensure the achievement of sustainable goals. Sustainable development in the UAE stands out as a major goal pursued by the government through multiple programs, such as the “National Strategy for Sustainable Development” and the “UAE Energy Strategy 2050,” which aim to achieve a balance between economic growth, social justice, and environmental sustainability. The study also shows that strategic management plays a crucial role in enhancing corporate governance, developing human capital, adopting technology, and encouraging innovation to support sustainable development. However, government institutions face challenges such as the need for policy coordination, sustainable financing, and external influences such as economic crises. The study proposes future research that includes quantitative analysis to measure the impact of strategic management on sustainability, comparison with other countries, and studying the impact of digital transformation on the implementation of sustainable strategies.
