ABSTRACT
This study aimed at conducting an assessment of corporate strategic performance in a sample of Jordanian banks. To reach this end, an empirical linear discriminant model was developed and tested using Multiple Discriminant Analysis as a statistical tool for data analysis and hypotheses testing. Findings indicated that corporate efficiency has highly significant discriminatory power to distinguish between the strategically- high and strategically-low performing banks in the study sample. Results of hypotheses testing also indicated that ability to raise long term capital has reasonable discriminatory power to distinguish between groups. On the other hand, profitability has a weak positive discriminatory power and productivity has no statistically significant contribution to strategic performance.
