Lack of strategic thinking by management staffs has been identified as a major shortcoming in organisations. Concepts in management and psychology had been drawn and used to remedy this situation.
Strategic thinking needs to be addressed at two different levels:
the individual level and
the organisational level.
Organisations that successfully integrate strategic thinking at these two levels will create a critical core competency that forms the basis of an enduring competitive advantage.
The document discusses strategic management and provides definitions and concepts. It describes strategic management as including environmental scanning, strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. It outlines the four phases that organizations typically go through in developing strategic management: basic financial planning, forecast-based planning, externally oriented strategic planning, and strategic management. Key benefits of strategic management include improved vision, focus, and environmental understanding. Globalization, innovation, and sustainability are presented as important challenges for strategic management. Theories of organizational adaptation and creating learning organizations are also covered.
The document provides an overview of strategic management. It defines strategic management and discusses its importance, advantages, and disadvantages. It also outlines the strategic management process, which includes determining strategic position, choosing a strategy, and implementing the strategy. Additionally, it covers various strategy types at the corporate, business, functional, and operational levels. The document discusses concepts like competitive advantage, the McKinsey 7S framework, portfolio strategy, and strategic choice. It also examines tools for strategic analysis like PESTEL analysis, SWOT analysis, value chain analysis, and environmental scanning techniques.
Management involves strategic planning, setting objectives, allocating resources, and measuring results. The four main functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Planning involves setting objectives and determining how to achieve them. Organizing involves developing an organizational structure and allocating human resources. Leading involves inspiring others to work towards objectives. Controlling ensures performance meets standards and takes corrective actions when needed. Management occurs at three levels - top level sets long term goals, middle level focuses on tactical planning, and lower level oversees day-to-day operations.
Planning involves defining goals, strategies, and plans to coordinate organizational work. It reduces contradictions and waste. Formal, written plans with long-term focus tend to result in higher performance than informal plans. Elements of planning include goals, plans to meet goals by allocating resources and schedules. Types of plans include strategic plans for the whole organization and operational plans specifying how to achieve goals. Goal setting is the first planning step and can be done through traditional top-down or participative MBO approaches. Forecasting and contingency planning are also part of the planning process.
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. These cyclical processes integrate functions like marketing, finance, and HR to help organizations adapt to changing environments and gain competitive advantages.
The document discusses several aspects of strategic management including activating strategies, measurement, reporting, implementation, barriers, and structural considerations. Activating strategies involves institutionalizing the strategy and translating objectives. Measurement and reporting are challenges due to objectivity and presenting results.

Activating strategies involves institutionalizing the strategy and translating objectives. Measurement and reporting are challenges due to objectively assessing concepts like opinions. Implementation requires developing an organization to carry out the strategy, allocating resources, and using strategic leadership. Barriers to evaluation include needing corrective action if standards are not met and lack of cooperation. There are three models of strategy: linear which focuses on planning, adaptive which changes in response to the environment, and interpretive which emphasizes interpretation and responses. Structural considerations for implementation include structuring work, aligning functions, establishing authority, developing partnerships, and fostering cooperation.

2. The primary responsibility of top management is to determine an organization’s goals, strategy, and design, therein adapting
the organization to a changing environment.
Direction setting begins with an assessment of opportunities and threats in the environment and an evaluation of internal
strengths and weaknesses.
Then the company can determine its mission, goals and strategies.
Organizational design reflects the way goals and strategies are implemented.
This is the role of organization theory.
Consider how organization design is affected by The choice of goals and strategy. New goals and strategy are often selected
based upon environmental needs, and then top management attempts to redesign the organization to achieve those ends.
Performance measurements feed back into the internal environment, so that past performance of the organization assessed by
top management in setting new goals and strategies for the future.
Choices that top management make about goals, strategy and organizational design have a huge impact on organizational
effectiveness.

4. Purpose may be referred to as the overall goal or mission.
Different parts of the organization establish their own goals
to help the organization achieve its overall purpose.
Purpose refers to why you do what you do, not what you do
or how you do it but why you do it.
Purpose has been shown to positively impact employee
engagement and commitment to an organization thereby
impacting organizational effectiveness.
5. The official overall goal for an organization is
its mission.
The mission describes the organization's
vision, its shared values and aspirations, and
its reason for existence.
6. Refer to the ends sought through operating procedures and describe specific measurable outcomes in
the short run. These goals concern overall performance, boundary spanning, and maintenance,
adaptation, and production activities.
Overall performance goals may be expressed in terms of profitability, delivery of service, growth, or
volume.
Resource goals pertain to the acquisition of needed material and financial resources.
Market goals relate to the market share or market standing desired.
Employee development goals pertain to the training, promotion, safety, and growth.
Innovation and change goals pertain to internal flexibility and readiness to adapt to unexpected
changes in the environment.
Productivity goals concern the amount of output achieved from available resources.
7.
8. The mission or official goals provide legitimacy to stakeholders
and overall direction for the company.
In contrast, operative goals provide employee direction and
motivation, decision guidelines, and criteria of performance.
An increasing number of companies are now using triple-
bottom-line accounting - a system which assesses their
environmental and social performance as well as their financial
performance.

10. Design must support the firm’s competitive approach. For
example, if the organization uses the low-cost leadership or
defender strategy, the design should be focused on
efficiency, whereas if the organization uses the
differentiation or prospector strategy, the design calls for a
learning organizational structure with strong horizontal
coordination mechanisms to increase collaboration and
teamwork
11. There are many ‘big’ questions that strategy researchers
try to answer such as
(1) why so many organizations look similar and why
they are alike, and
(2) what are the effects social-political institutions on
organizations?
