strategic management process.



Solution


Strategic management: is a rational approach that organisations use to achieve
strategic competitiveness and competitive advantage. Traditional it draws on
the perspective that the management tasks consists of planning, organising,
leading and controlling. Building on this

, view, the strategic tasks of top management consist of formulation strategy
(planning), implementing strategy (organising and leading) and control

Strategic management can be looked at from a traditional perspective and in a
new perspective (strategy-as-practice)



The traditional perspective is structured and a process as explained below:


1. Strategy Planning/Formulation -The planning and thinking phase, where
top management:


 Decides on the organisation‘s strategic direction and its long-term
objectives (usually found in the vision and mission statement)

 Analyses the organisation‘s external (to identify opportunities and
threats )and internal environments(to identify best resources and
capabilities and the organisation‘s strength and weaknesses)

 Selects appropriate competitive strategies strategic choice
such as focus, differentiation or best cost



2. Strategy Implementation/Execution- it’s the doing part where both human
and non- human factors in the organisation are applied to ensure that the
strategy is executed in line with the devised plans. These are the key
elements to be considered:


 Leadership and culture- a strategic leader must ensure that the culture
of the organisation is aligned with strategic choice
 Implementation competencies- The organisation must ensure that
individuals have the right mix of knowledge, skills and attitudes to
support the strategy
 Learning organisation-The organisation must be a learning organisation
through its staff and be willing to share knowledge
 Systems, policies and procedures- There must be systems such as
reward systems in place to support strategic direction
 Organisational architecture and structure- the organisation needs
appropriate structure to successfully execute the strategy
