3. Research Methodology
1.1. Data sources
The creation and implementation of the ' strategic economic plan' for Leicestershire’s ‘city council’ needs an extensive research process to understand other implementation factors. The 'strategic economic plan' in the current research paper has indicated a city's essential maintenance factors, such as a 'strong economy’ for better livelihood, 'public safety,' improvement of the community activities, housing affordability, and healthcare benefits. The current research paper is conducting 'secondary data analysis' to compare various 'strategic plans' for better management from the ‘city council.' The ‘secondary data’ collection process will collect relevant data from the archive and utilize the existing data to make the research process convenient (Johnston, 2017).

The 'qualitative' research method will enhance the current research process to acquire every possible data and case study on the effective implementation of 'strategic economic plan' regarding a city's betterment. The 'secondary research' process will help in addressing the existing limitations and viability of the different works of literature to strengthen the information collection efficient for the current research process, as it is time and cost sufficient to conduct (Sherif, 2018). The analysis of the selected research papers will establish information on the wellbeing of different cities globally. The 'city council' of Leicestershire has been working on providing 'strategic economic plan' to improve the life quality of the citizen.

The planning is consisting of the daily experiences of the people in Leicestershire related to their health, work profile, housing, and economic sustainability. The effective analysis during the 'literature reviews' will deliver a structured approach to efficient 'data analysis' process and a full investigation of the journal contents (Richards & Hemphill, 2018). The current research process will conduct 'thematic analysis' on the collected data from the 'literature review' on the selected relevant articles. This process will differentiate the collected data through their themes to describe their research motives. It will help in analysing the research objective of the current research process on the betterment planning of Leicestershire's 'city council.'

1.2. Importance
The importance of the methodology will address the particular stages that will be uniformly carried on the research processes to evaluate the research objectives conveniently. The current research process is based on the 'qualitative research' mechanism to understand the value of different 'strategic plans' of various cities other than Leicestershire. During this process, it enhances the researchers to shape the selected research journals according to the current research process's requirement to determine the results (Palaganas, et al., 2017). The ‘qualitative analysis’ process is consisting of the following steps in the current research process,

a. ‘Case Study’ Research
The current research process will conduct a 'case study' process on different city's ' strategic economic plan' implemented by their 'city council.' It will establish an understanding of whether the Leicestershire's development process is better than other cities or not. The 'case study' will help in providing in-depth knowledge on the selected research articles (Harrison, et al., 2017). It is important to step to acquire relevant data during the process.

b. Archived Research
An integral part of the current research process is selecting the required research articles from the archived. It needs to be relevant to the current research discussions about the 'city council's' development planning. Other research papers will help in understanding the difference between Leicestershire's development process with other places. It is an essential step while acquiring relevant research articles for conducting the 'literature review.'

c. ‘Grounded Theory’
The ‘philosophical approach’ of different research papers can strengthen the research process and data collection design during the process (Aldiabat & Le Navenec, 2018). It is essential in understanding the 'data saturation' factor of acquiring the information from the selected research paper based on its quality. The steps, including the 'grounded theory' process in understanding the different planning for a city's development, are 'data collection,' 'data coding,' 'content sampling,' and 'theoretical data.'

d. Observation
The observation process during the 'literature review' is essential in understanding every aspect of the content. It will help in sampling the relevant research data to continue the analyzing process. The current research paper needs to acquire the 'strategic plans' and 'strategic outcomes' of different city's development factors, such as employment, accommodation, safety, health facility, and sustainable economy.

The current research process will conduct the ‘Thematic Analysis’ after acquiring essential data from the 'secondary data' collection process. This analyzation process comprises several steps,

Sampling and organizing the ‘qualitative data’ from reviewing the selected research paper
Acquire ‘codes’ from the sampling data and make a list of it
Generate similar codes to identify the ‘themes’ related to them
'Review the themes' to acquire the important ones.
'Name the themes' according to its discussion perspective.
‘Discuss the themes’ to generate answers for the research objective.

1.3. Validity
The current research paper is collecting specifically the relevant data related to the city's development factors in the economic, social, cultural, and political scenario. The validity is depending on the analysis of the selected research papers and their viability (Santini, 2018). It is including the strong and weak points of the research articles while selecting the useful facts. The validity of the current research paper consists of some areas,

‘Content Validity’ will enhance the researcher to analyse the research article contents according to its meaningfulness for the appropriate sampling process (Ghazali, et al., 2017).
‘Construct Validity’ will measure the critical points of other city’s development factors by their councils to extend the research context (Slaney, 2017).
‘Predictive Validity’ will differentiate the required documents according to their authority for a better understanding of other city's development factors.

strategic economic plan

4. Findings
4.1. Themes from the relevant journals
The journals have been categorized into two sections, namely- key definitions and framework. Thus, the themes are extracted according to that pattern.

Key definitions

Codes	Themes	Describing the theme
Effectiveness of strategic economic plan in respect of economic development	Studying the effectiveness of the strategic plan in economic development	The paper has discussed the effectiveness of the strategic economic plan in economic development. It is a significant definition of the strategic economic plan and the approach it follows (Gilbride, 2017). The strategic economic plan does the non-optimal form of planning regarding economic development, as in the case of Oregon. It has also found that it follows a “top-down” hierarchical approach in defining structures.
Strategic plans in data statistics	Designing the data statics through the strategic plan	Findings from this journal show the method of using a strategic economic plan in designing data statistics of the Gulf coast college. It defines that the strategic plan can be used for designing different aspects (Planning, et al., 2017). According to the aspects, the specific strategic goals have been defined. As a result, strategic goals can be implemented and will produce a distinct product.
Redesigning the ACEDC	Making strategic plans for redefining the ACEDC	Findings from this journal show the use of the strategic economic plan in redesigning the ACEDC. Re-tool of ACEDC by strategic economic plan helps in increasing the private sector budget (Robinson & Green, 2017). The strategic economic plan will also help to implement the BR&E program in the ACEDC, and thus, the performance of the Athens County will get developed.
Circular Economy as a Strategy	Designing Circular Economy as a Strategy	Findings show that European cities have been focusing on mapping the Circular economy as a strategy. It suggests that the Circular economy can be designed as a strategy and improve the economic aspects of the cities (Council, 2016). It helps in building sustainability in the financial area of several organizations and businesses.

Frameworks

Codes	Themes	Describing the themes
Methodological Framework	Applying the methodological Framework for studying the feasibility	Findings show that financial evaluation has been made for studying the feasibility of the methodological framework. The research has been done on the European Country, namely- Italy, where the case study of Palermo has been taken (Bonifaci, et al., 2016). The strengths and weakness have also been discussed in regards to the methodological framework.
Economic Capital Requirements	Designing the Economic Capital Requirements through the sustainable framework	Findings show that the framework can be used for mitigating the strategic risk in the banking sectors (Chockalingam, et al., 2018). The equity rate of the banking sectors got affected by the strategic risks. Implementing a sustainable framework in financial organizations help to maintain integrity.
Building a framework model	Creating the framework model by the use of Strategic Planning	Findings show that the framework model has been built through strategic economic plan on Pavia. In this paper, Pavia has been taken as a case study for building the framework (Riva & Pilotti, 2017). The framework will help to improve the performance of the planning process in the Pavia. It also helps in mitigating the economic issues and creates a sustainable economic system.
Framework for decision making	Creating an adaptive framework for decision making purpose	Findings show that engineering methods have been used to build decision-making process through strategic economic plan (D?browski, 2017). The paper has used mixed techniques to define strategic economic plan in building goal-oriented processes. The study has focused on the It projects limitations and thus suggesting effective methods for decision making.
Strategic development of land use	Reviewing the strategic development of the National Planning Framework in Scotland	Findings show that the planning framework of Scotland needs to be reviewed, and the strategic development must be made according to that. The paper used as the review to redesign the strategic planning (Purves, 2019). Redesigning of the strategic economic plan will help to improve the performance of the National Planning Framework and its applications on the land-use system.
Framework for improving strategic delta planning	Modelling the framework to design the strategic delta planning	Findings show that the framework has been designed to analyze the key factors of strategic delta planning (Seijger, et al., 2017). Three countries have been taken as a case study to pursue the research. Strategic delta planning is mainly done on the water sector for the sustainable development of the deltas.

4.2. Linking theoretical framework with current research
The different theories have been taken as the review journals and discussed in relevance with the current research. The current research mainly focusses on delivering the critical objectives of County Council in Leicestershire. The frameworks defined in the journals can be proved to be an excellent source for the current research. The journals have been taken from different sources. Then, defined in such a way so that the themes can prove to be useful for the current research. Four journals have been taken for defining the current research that is strategic economic plan. It shows that strategic planning can be defined in various sectors and can be implemented for several purposes.

Six journals have been taken for defining the various frameworks that could be effective for the current research. The research has been conducted based on the secondary research method, and thus, the relevant journals are sole sources for executing the research.

4.3. Summary
Key Concepts

Article 1 (Gilbride, 2017)	The perceptions of economic development have been discussed in respect of strategic economic plan. The paper focusses on the different aspects of the public sectors like the University of Oregon and its strategic planning methods (Gilbride, 2017). It helps to define the strategic planning in a distinct way for implementing it on the various sectors.
Article 2 (Planning, et al., 2017)	In this paper, the author has discussed the different learning outcomes and the strategic goals with respect to the learning. It helps to define the strategic economic plan realistically so that the goals can be understood by the readers (Planning, et al., 2017). Executing the goals will have in developing the integrative statistics of data in the Gulf Coast College.
Article 3 (Robinson & Green, 2017)	A case study of Athens county has been taken, and its ACEDC tool has been redesigned through strategic planning (Robinson & Green, 2017). It shows that strategic planning can be used for redesigning of the strategic economic plan and improves its performance in the budget of the private sector.
Article 4 (Council, 2016)	The circular economy is one of the significant parts of strategic economic planning. It is used by various commission to evaluate the resource efficiency of various businesses (Council, 2016). It can be designed as the strategy for organizations to achieve their economic goals and redefining them.

Frameworks

Article 1 (Bonifaci, et al., 2016)	Methodological Framework has been designed to study the feasibility of strategic planning. In recent years, different businesses of several countries like Italy are following the strategic planning for redesigning their goals (Bonifaci, et al., 2016). This paper has taken the case study of Palermo to study the feasibility of strategic economic plan.
Article 2 (Chockalingam, et al., 2018)	Sustainable Framework has been discussed to mitigate the strategic risk in financial sectors. The economic capital is the primary factor in the banking sector (Chockalingam, et al., 2018). It is often get disturbed by the strategic risk in the organization. In this paper, a sustainable framework has been designed to mitigate the risk from banking sectors.
Article 3 (Riva & Pilotti, 2017)	In this paper, strategic economic plan has been used as the decision-making tool for mitigating the economic issues in the city of Pavia (Riva & Pilotti, 2017). A framework model has been created to improve the performance of different planning tools in the Pavia.
Article 4 (D?browski, 2017)	Effective methods of strategic planning can design engineering tools. Decision-making processes can be implemented by useful engineering techniques (D?browski, 2017). Strategic planning can be implemented for decision making in various businesses.
Article 5 (Purves, 2019)	The paper has focused on the government strategy of Scotland and shows the effectiveness of strategic planning. Strategic economic plan can be done for the development in the economic sector (Purves, 2019). The economic development of land use can be improved through effective methods of strategic planning.
Article 6 (Seijger, et al., 2017)	Strategic delta Planning is used in water sectors for developing the delta (Seijger, et al., 2017). An analytical framework has been designed to evaluate the different key aspects and its implementation on the delta projects.

5. Data Analysis
5.1. Compare and contrasting the data

Comparing the framework with the current research	Contrasting the framework with the current research
The research of the first article has taken a public sector like city council and discuss its applications of strategic planning on the University of Oregon (Gilbride, 2017). The perceptions of economic development have been discussed, and it goes similar to the vision of strategic planning in the city council.	The approach of using strategic planning in Oregon is different from the approach of the city council. Oregon has does not set its distinct vision of strategic planning, whereas the city council have five distinct vision of strategic planning (Gilbride, 2017). Thus, the result after the implementation will be different from each other.
After analysis of the data in both the articles, it has been found that both have particular strategic goals for their organizations (Planning, et al., 2017). Distinct strategic goals have been set, and useful methods have also been followed to execute them.	Both the research has dissimilarities in various aspects like approaching strategic planning (Planning, et al., 2017). City council have an existing strategic economic plan, whereas the gulf coast needs to define the strategic plan in the organization.
Both the Athens county and the city council needs to improve its strategic economic plan and set objectives according to that (Robinson & Green, 2017).	City council have made improvements in various sectors using the strategic economic plan whereas Athens county still needs re-tool of ACEDC for improving its budget on the private sector.
The economic approach of both journals are similar, and they convey a similar theme that is an improvement in the economic aspect.	In the city council, the approach of strategic planning is clear and distinct whereas in the other journal, the part of strategic planning that is the circular economy has been taken to improve the economic performance of different businesses (Council, 2016).
Both the journals have implemented strategic planning for doing the financial evaluation and upgrade the performance. The strategic economic plan has discussed in both the journals to find its feasibility on economic aspects.	Different country and different case study have been taken in both the research (Bonifaci, et al., 2016). The strategic economic plan in city council does not have a specified framework, whereas, in Palermo, the specified framework has been followed to evaluate the feasibility.
Both the journals have the same approach that is improving the economic performance and mitigating the risk. As a result, the data extracted from the journals suggest that the equity value can be increased in respect of the performance value of the businesses (Chockalingam, et al., 2018).	Both journals have been studied in different sectors. Then, their results are also different with respect to economic performance.

The last journals have similar comparing and contrasting factors with respect to the organizations. The results of the journals show that the strategic economic plan has several implementations in various sectors.

5.2. Summary
The themes extracted from the different journal shows that strategic economic plan can be implemented as effective for various sectors to define and mitigate the issues from the organizations. The experts have analyzed the results of the journals, and it suggests that the journals can be a great source for achieving the objectives. The objectives are clear and distinct, and they can be executed by using the various frameworks of the strategic economic plan.

6. Conclusion
6.1. Recommendations as per the Findings
The recommendations have been given according to the results from the findings. They are discussed below: -

The organization can change its approach in defining the strategic economic plan. As it is seen that the approach of other journals is also effective for achieving the objectives.
The research must be thoroughly analyzed, and the strategic plan of the research must be tested in other aspects for bringing out its effectiveness.
As the research has been conducted in the secondary research method, thus it should be tested in respect of primary research. A short questionnaire can be formed, and vies from experts must be taken to analyze the decision-making process of the strategic economic plan.
The research must also discuss the conditions if the plan fails to execute in the organization. The findings must be done in both the perspective so that the chances of failure can be prevented.
The research must not blindly follow the findings as all the results may not be applicable to the research. The findings are just a source to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategic economic plan.
