Abstract This paper reviews the range of strategic tools and techniques available to strategic planners. The study focuses on strategic planning tool usage by small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in Western Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. A six‐stage strategic framework was used to provide for 36 core strategic tasks. Results are contrasted with a previous study published in this journal that considered the use of strategic tools by organizations in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. SMEs were found to use a restricted range of strategic tools. There is a need for a wider understanding of the tools available and their application to strategy development.
