The correlation analysis findings showed that the Pearson coefficient was within the range of 0.5 and 0.8, and the correlation coefficient was 0.873, indicating that a strong and positive relationship existed between strategic management practices and the performance of milk processing firms. The findings showed that the adjusted R2 was 0.749, signifying that strategic management practices and prospects explained 74.9 % of the variations in the performance of milk processing firms.
