In the field of management, strategic management includes the
organization and implementation of key goals and initiatives
undertaken by the top management of the organization on behalf of
the owner, based on resource considerations and assessing the
internal and external environment in which the organization
operates. Strategic management provides the overall management of
the enterprise and includes specifying the goals of the
organization, developing policies and plans to achieve these goals,
and then allocating resources to implement the plan. Academics and
practitioners have developed a number of models and frameworks to
support strategic decision-making in the context of complex
environments and competitive dynamics. Strategic management is
unstable. Models often include a feedback cycle to monitor
performance and to inform the next plan.
Michael Porter identifies three strategic principles:
Creating a "Special and Valuable [Market] Location"
Make a concession by choosing "what not to do"
Create a "fit" by aligning the company's activities together to
support the chosen strategy
Corporate strategy includes answering one key question from a
portfolio perspective: "What kind of business should we run?"
Business strategies include answering the questions: "How to
compete in this business?"
Ownership management and practice often distinguish between
strategic management and operational management, with operations
management primarily concerned with improving efficiency and cost
management within the limits set by organizational strategies.
