What is Strategic Management?
“If you don’t know where you’re
going, you’re liable to wind up
someplace else!”
-- Yogi Berra
“Plans are nothing;
planning is everything!”
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower
What do we mean by strategy?
• Strategy is grounded in the array of
competitive moves and business approaches
management depends on to produce
successful performance.
• Strategy is management’s game plan for
strengthening the organization’s position,
pleasing customers, and achieving
performance targets.
Without a strategy,
managers have:
No thought-out course to follow
No roadmap to manage by
No action program to produce the
intended result
Good strategy and
good strategy execution
are the most trustworthy signs
of good management.
Three Fundamental
Strategic Questions
• Where are we currently?
• Where do we want to be in the future?
• How will we get there?
Strategic planning is a
“disciplined effort to produce
fundamental decisions and
actions that shape and guide
what an organization is,
what it does, and
why it does it.”

such as capital equipment, skills
of employees, brand names,

Capabilities
What a firm Does...
Capabilities represent:
the firm’s capacity or ability to integrate individual
firm resources to achieve a desired objective.
Capabilities develop over time as a result of complex
interactions that take advantage of the interrelationships
between a firm’s tangible and intangible resources that are
based on the development, transmission and exchange or
sharing of information and knowledge as carried out by the
firm's employees.
Capabilities become important when they are combined
in unique combinations which create core competencies
which have strategic value and can lead to competitive
advantage.
