How is strategic planning carried out at different levels of the organisation Sameer Mathur
Strategic planning involves defining a company's mission, establishing strategic business units (SBUs), and assessing growth opportunities. A company's mission focuses on a limited number of long-term goals, major policies, competitive spheres, and is short and meaningful. SBUs are single or related businesses that can be planned separately, have their own competitors and manager responsible for profits. Strategic planning determines a company's customers, needs, technology, and involves analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Companies form strategic alliances for products, promotions, logistics, and pricing to improve strategic management.
This document discusses the role of strategic direction in organizational design. It outlines how top management gives direction to organizations by determining goals and strategy, which then influences how the organization should be designed. Two frameworks for selecting strategy and design are described: Porter's competitive strategies of differentiation and low cost leadership, and Miles and Snow's typology of prospector, defender, analyzer, and reactor strategies. The effect of these various strategies on organizational design is also discussed, such as how low cost leadership requires a mechanistic and efficient design while differentiation requires a more flexible and fluid structure.
Strategic direction and organizational goals influence how an organization should be designed. Organizational goals include the overall mission as well as operating goals related to performance, resources, markets, employee development, productivity, and innovation. Organizations often have multiple, simultaneous goals that sometimes conflict, such as in hybrid organizations that mix goals from different sectors. Managers must negotiate direction when goals are mutually exclusive. Organizational design should account for goal importance, with official goals describing the value system and vision, and operating goals providing direction and motivation to employees.
