Abstract


This paper aims to explore how Strategic Planning (SP) and Life Cycle Management (LCM) could be worked together, since both have similar concepts but they are not seen in an integrated way. A systematic literature review was carried out to identify researches that bring the integration of LCM and SP, and then SP activities and LCM practices were included in a relationship matrix to analyze where integration opportunities can be found. The results show that academic literature which brings business SP and LCM concepts together is still far away from maturity and new approaches need to be developed.
