Strategy involves an organization's action plan for outperforming competitors through integrated choices about how to compete. These choices include how to attract and please customers, compete against rivals, position in the marketplace, and respond to changing conditions to capitalize on opportunities and achieve performance targets. Strategy determines an organization's direction, scope, and competitive moves over the long term to achieve advantage through its resources and fulfill stakeholder expectations. Strategic management involves strategic decision making about products, services, markets, and choices to determine organizational direction and competitive approaches. Effective strategic decisions concern an organization's long-term direction, scope of activities, gaining advantage over competitors, and addressing changes in the business environment.
