Introduction. Economic progress is presented as a curve of infinite growth, but the question of what forces and means are used to achieve it and why the pace should be maintained at a certain level is not trivial. It can be assumed that the behaviour of numerous actors in economic processes is influenced by the bidirectional process of entropy-negentropy, which has been scientifically explained within the framework of N. Wiener’s classical information theory. The aim of the study is to justify the importance of strategic planning for ensuring high rates of economic growth and the decisive role of the state in achieving them. Methods. Based on scientific publications, this article collects, classifies, and analyses definitions relevant to the requirements of forecasting (planning) theory and practice. The main scientific principles of planning are formulated. The results of the study showed that there is a direct link between high economic growth rates and the organisation of strategic planning. It has been proven that unified state planning covering all sectors of the national economy, based on a teleological approach and scientific planning principles, has a high cumulative effect on a national scale. This is evidenced by the record growth rates of the national economy in the period from 1920 to the 1950s. The article summarises typical problems of the existing strategic planning system and suggests possible ways to solve them. It shows that in the absence of a single state body, the main obstacle to a radical change in solving strategic planning problems is the conflict of interests between numerous developers and implementers of plans and programmes.
