and remote environments

and internal analysis to identify range of attractive options

Model


Short-term Objectives and Action Plans
• Translate generic and grand strategies into “action”
– Identify specific functional tactics to be taken in the near term
– Establish a clear time frame for completion
– Create accountability
– Specify one or more immediate objectives as outcomes of the
action
Functional Tactics
• Involve identifying activities unique to the function to help build
competitive advantage
• Specify detailed statements of “means” to be used to achieve
short-term objectives
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session - I
37
Components of the Strategic Management
Model


Policies that Empower Action
• Include broad, precedent-setting decisions that substitute
for repetitive or time-sensitive decision making
• Often increase managerial effectiveness by empowering
discretion of subordinates in implementing strategies
Restructuring, Reengineering, and Refocusing the
Organization
• Involves an internal focus - getting work done efficiently
and effectively to make the strategy work
– Organizational structure
– Leadership
– Culture
– Reward systems
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session - I
38
Components of the Strategic Management
Model

Strategic Control and Continuous Improvement
• Control
– Tracks a strategy during implementation
– Detects problems
– Involves making necessary adjustments
• Continuous improvement
– Provides another approach to strategic control
– Allows an organization to respond more proactively and
timely to rapid developments
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session - I
39
Implications of the Strategic Management
Process
Changes in any one component will affect other
components
Recognition of the sequential nature of strategy
formulation and implementation
Necessity of feedback from institutionalization,
review, and evaluation to early stages of process
Must be viewed as dynamic, involving constant
changes in interdependent strategic activities
