Background of the Study
Strategic management involves the formulation and implementation of major goals and initiatives by an organization’s top management based on resource assessment and competitive positioning (Olawale & Hassan, 2024). Effective strategic management enhances operational efficiency, market expansion, and long-term business sustainability.
Dangote Cement Plc, as Nigeria’s largest cement producer, plays a vital role in national infrastructure development. Its operations in Kogi State contribute significantly to employment and economic growth. However, the company faces challenges such as market competition, regulatory compliance, and fluctuating demand, necessitating robust strategic management practices (Adebayo & Salisu, 2023).
Despite the recognized benefits of strategic management, there is limited empirical evidence on how these practices specifically influence organizational growth in the Nigerian manufacturing sector. This study seeks to bridge that gap by investigating the impact of strategic management practices on Dangote Cement Plc in Kogi State.

Many organizations, including Dangote Cement Plc, struggle with aligning their strategic management practices with dynamic market conditions, leading to inefficiencies and growth limitations (Eze & Hassan, 2024). Poor strategic planning, weak execution, and ineffective performance monitoring hinder sustainable expansion.
While research has examined strategic management in multinational firms, few studies have focused on its direct impact on growth in Nigeria’s cement industry. This study aims to analyze the relationship between strategic management practices and organizational growth in Dangote Cement Plc.
