Abstract

This article explores the idea, definition, and guiding principles of managing a library through strategic management and service execution. In the dynamic and evolving landscape of information and technology, libraries face significant challenges and opportunities. This review explores the application of strategic management principles in library oversight, highlighting their importance in maintaining relevance and effectiveness. Strategic management provides a structured approach for libraries to set goals, allocate resources, and proactively adapt to changes. In addition, the study examines the connections with outside settings, assesses the present situation, the implications of potential changes, the difficulties and rewards of implementing strategic management in libraries to increase output and efficiency. This paper examines key concepts of strategic management, the strategic planning process, implementation phases, and the importance of monitoring and evaluation. It also addresses common challenges and offers solutions for successful implementation. By embracing strategic management, libraries can improve service quality, enhance user satisfaction, and foster innovation, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of their communities and remain vital in the digital age.
