Management Strategy

                  Management strategy
Text Box: In business as in most of life, “survival” is the universal highest level strategic objective. This begets a series of tactical responses. Each of these tactical responses at the next level become strategies. In general thereafter, a tactic at one level begets a strategy at the next level down. Understanding this relationship and adopting the optimum strategy at any level is essential for business success and ultimately for survival.

DEFINITIONS USED HERE:

Strategy in business terms is laying out the broad canvas to achieve the company’s adopted goals. Thus, if  the goal of a company is to increase its future profits: the strategy chosen might be to do any or some of:

Expanding its scope of activities or its global/regional cover; Deploying an advertising campaign; Carrying out a capital investment program; Investing in new management systems;  Changing its pricing policy, Buying up the competition, ….etc.

 

Tactics, in business terms are isolated actions or events that take advantage of opportunities offered by the adopted strategy. Tactics range across this chosen strategic field, exploiting gaps in it to generate novel and inventive outcomes.

 

Thus, if the high level strategy that has been adopted, is to make a capital investment to generate future cash flow, the tactics chosen could be concerned with choosing the type of investment: For example: Market potential for product stream, Jurisdiction, Location, NPV, Security,  ….etc
