Strategic decisions are made by top management, are future-oriented, require significant resources, and have long-term impacts on an organization. They are difficult to define, rarely have a single best solution, and involve trade-offs. Managers use both rational and behavioral models in decision-making. The rational model assumes complete information and logical evaluation of alternatives, while the behavioral model recognizes limitations in information, bounded rationality, satisficing, intuition and escalation of commitment.
This document discusses different approaches to strategic decision making. It describes rational, intuitive, political, administrative, entrepreneurial, adaptive, and planning approaches. The rational approach involves analyzing all alternatives and consequences to maximize gains. The intuitive approach relies on experience, instincts, and gut feelings. The political approach considers pressures from stakeholders. The administrative approach recognizes limitations of information and rationality, aiming to satisfice rather than optimize. The entrepreneurial approach is reactive to opportunities. The adaptive approach solves urgent problems. The planning approach anticipates the future through formal analysis of internal and external factors.
Strategic decision making deals with long-term, unusual decisions that commit substantial resources across an entire organization. There are four modes of strategic decision making: entrepreneurial, adaptive, planning, and logical incrementalism. The strategic planning process involves evaluating current performance, scanning the external and internal environments, analyzing strategic factors, generating and selecting strategies, implementing strategies, and providing feedback. A strategic audit systematically examines and evaluates strategic management processes and measures corporate performance against strategic goals to identify deficiencies.
The document outlines the basic model of strategic management which includes 4 main elements: environmental scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control. Environmental scanning involves monitoring internal and external factors. Strategy formulation is the development of long-range plans including defining the mission, objectives, strategies, and policies. Strategy implementation is putting strategies and policies into action through programs, budgets, and procedures. Evaluation and control monitors performance to compare it against desired performance and identify triggering events that may require a change in strategy.
1. Strategic decision making describes the process of creating a company's mission and objectives and deciding on courses of action to achieve goals. Strategic decisions are rare, consequential, and set precedents for future actions.
2. There are three typical modes of strategic decision making: the entrepreneurial mode guided by a visionary founder, the adaptive mode of reactive problem-solving, and the planning mode involving systematic information gathering and strategy selection.
3. The strategic decision making process involves evaluating performance, scanning the external and internal environments, analyzing strategic factors, generating and selecting strategies, implementing strategies, and evaluating results. Top management leads the process with input from various organizational levels.
This document provides an overview of strategic decision making. It discusses rational models of decision making and their key criteria. It also examines limitations of rational decision making in practice, including individual limitations like bounded rationality and organizational limitations like existing decision processes. Additionally, it outlines a process for strategic risk assessment and considers competitive reactions. A practical model for effective strategic decision making is proposed, and the document concludes by noting decision making often varies in practice.
1 introduction- concepts in strategic management.Naganandini Devi
Strategic management involves 4 key processes: 1) environmental scanning to analyze internal/external factors, 2) strategy formulation to develop long-term plans, 3) strategy implementation through programs/budgets, and 4) evaluation and control to assess performance and make adjustments.

The classical approach views strategy as formed through formal analysis and planning. The evolutionary approach sees strategy as emerging informally through market forces. The processual approach accounts for psychological and behavioral factors. The systemic approach views strategy as shaped by the social system an organization operates within.
The document discusses the origins and development of strategic management as a discipline. It began in the 1950s with pioneers like Chandler, Selznick, and Ansoff developing foundational concepts. Chandler recognized the importance of coordinating management functions under an overall strategy. Selznick introduced matching internal/external factors through SWOT analysis. Ansoff built on this with strategic frameworks and the concept of reducing gaps between current/desired states. The document outlines the key elements of strategic management theory that had developed by the 1970s, including relating strategy to the business environment, its fluid/complex nature, and its multi-level planning and conceptual aspects. Finally, it introduces tools for strategic analysis like PEST and scenario planning.
A strategic manager analyzes major initiatives by top management involving resources and performance. As strategic management requires crucial long-term decisions, the strategic manager's role is important but complex. The strategic manager tries to answer questions about the organization's vision, purpose, mission, customers, competitors, capabilities, and strategy evaluation criteria. Strategic managers discharge roles as entrepreneurs, resource allocators, environmental monitors, and troubleshooters.

- Information can be classified by management level as operational, tactical, or strategic. Operational information is highly detailed and internal, tactical provides summaries for control, and strategic looks externally for long-term predictive insights.

The IT PMO of a large healthcare organization determined it needed a project prioritization model to improve project selection and management. A small team including clinical, IT, and strategy leaders developed an initial model and pilot. This revealed issues like a lack of strategic alignment, division between business and IT, and inefficient project intake. The organization then worked to develop an enterprise-wide prioritization model considering factors like patient safety, physician strategy, financial benefits, and compliance. Materials were provided to help participants define value criteria and drivers. The final model scored projects based on their alignment with weighted business drivers to optimize the project portfolio.
