Strategic management is the management of an organization’s resources to achieve its goals and objectives. Strategic management involves setting objectives, analysing the competitive environment, analysing the internal organization, evaluating strategies, and ensuring that management rolls out the strategies across the organization. This book helps in Key Takeaways Companies, universities, non-profits, and other organizations can use strategic management as a way to make goals and meet objectives. Flexible companies may find it easier to make changes to their structure and plans, while inflexible companies may chafe at a changing environment. A strategic manager may oversee strategic management plans and devise ways for organizations to meet their benchmark goals. Strategic management is divided into several schools of thought. A prescriptive approach to strategic management outlines how strategies should be developed, while a descriptive approach focuses on how strategies should be put into practice. These schools differ on whether strategies are developed through an analytic process, in which all threats and opportunities are accounted for, or are more like general guiding principles to be applied. Business culture, the skills and competencies of employees, and organizational structure all important factors that influence how an organization can achieve its stated objectives. Inflexible companies may find it difficult to succeed in a changing business environment. Creating a barrier between the development of strategies and their implementation can make it difficult for managers to determine whether objectives have been efficiently met. While an organization’s upper management is ultimately responsible for its strategy the strategies are often sparked by actions and ideas from lower-level managers and employees. An organization may have several employees devoted to strategy, rather than relying solely on the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for guidance. This book even help the companies to find ways to be more competitive is the purpose of strategic management. To that end, putting strategic management plans into practice is the most important aspect of the planning itself. Plans in practice involve identifying benchmarks, realigning resources-financial and human-and putting leadership resources in place to oversee the creation, sale, and deployment of products and services. In business, strategic management is important because it allows a company to analyze areas for operational improvement. In many cases, they can follow either an analytical process, which identifies potential threats and opportunities, or simply follow general guidelines. Given the structure of the organization, a company may choose to follow either a prescriptive or descriptive approach to strategic management. Under a prescriptive model, strategies are outlined for development and execution. By contrast, a descriptive approach describes how a company can develop these strategies.

This book explores the intricate world of strategic management. Blending theory with practical examples, the authors provide a systematic framework for strategic decisionmaking. The book is divided into two parts. It begins by exploring the perspectives of strategic analysis, examining the firm’s “current situation” and “evolutionary” perspectives, as well as the “objective reality” and “subjective perspective”. These interconnected perspectives require different analytical approaches to understand the firm’s present state and the process of change. The second part, entitled “The strategic map: the areas, the pathway and the objects of analysis”, delves deeper into specific areas of strategic analysis. It focuses on the current state of the firm (today’s firm), emphasizing the importance of understanding its resources, products, markets, activities, and stakeholder relationships. The quality and implementation effectiveness of the strategic model are also assessed, providing a reflection tool for improvement. The book further explores strategic change processes, the values and identity of the firm, performance evaluation, and corporate governance and internal control system. Suitable for newcomers and professionals in corporate strategy and governance, this book combines theory and practical examples to enhance understanding.

This unique book is positioned at the crossroads of strategic management and international business. Based on an in-depth literature review, the author empirically assesses the widely shared, implicit assumption that strategic management processes can be globally applied in a standardized, i.e., culture-free, manner. So far, a variety of tools have also been recommended but without incorporating cultural differences. As many organizations observe that this ethnocentric view is more an illusion than reality, strategic management research has started to focus on the cultural sensitivity of its theories, tools, and processes to provide practitioners in a multicultural setting with adequate know-how and tools. To foster long-term decision-making despite uncertainty, scenario planning is frequently applied by practitioners. Up until today, scenario planning has however gained little attention from the academic community. Through this book, the author presents a newly developed framework for strategic management that combines the cultural value scale to test the cultural sensitivity of the long-term planning tool called “scenario planning.” The different process steps of scenario planning have been individually examined for their sensitivity toward the cultural dimensions of uncertainty avoidance and long-term orientation. The investigation is based on a unique, global set of management consultants working for a leading professional service firm. The results of this research show the cultural sensitivity of scenario planning, with different degrees of the process steps and the tested cultural dimensions.
