Meaning of Strategy
In ancient Greece, the term Strategos was used in military science and implied the plan to win a battle. However, in business, strategies are more about understanding the competition and preparing a plan to surpass the potential of the rivals. It is defined as:
“Strategy is the direction and scope of an organization over the long-term”

CHALLENGES OF STRATEGIC MANAGERS
16
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT TRADE-OFFS
17
Managers need to be ambidextrous.
Focus on long-term effectiveness.
Expand product-market scope by proactively exploring new opportunities.
At the same time:
Focus on short-term efficiency.
Align resources to take advantage of existing product markets.
INTENDED VS. REALIZED STRATEGIES
The business environment is far from predictable.
Intended strategy
Organizational decisions are determined only by scrutiny.
VERSUS
Realized or Emergent strategy
Decisions are determined by both analysis (deliberate) and unforeseen environmental developments, unanticipated resource constraints, and/or changes in managerial preferences (emergent).
Peter Drucker’s management book, whose words Zhang [ CEO of Haier, world no 1- home alliance company] took to heart: “There is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer.”

PLEASE HAVE A THOUGHT
Intended versus Emergent Strategies: While you may have planned your career trajectory carefully, don’t be too tied to it. Strive to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. Many promising career opportunities may “emerge” that were not part of your intended career strategy or your specific job assignment. Take initiative by pursuing opportunities to get additional training (e.g., learn a software or a statistical package), volunteering for a short-term overseas assignment, etc. You may be in a better position to take advantage of such emergent opportunities if you make the effort to prepare for them. For example, learning a foreign language may position you better for an overseas opportunity.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PROCESS
20
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PROCESS
21
ANALYSIS : MISSION , OBJECTIVE, VISION, GOAL
Vision – This is a future view of the organization or what the organization will look like when it successfully completes its strategic plan.
Mission – describes what the organization does. The mission articulates the fundamental purpose of the organization. It also provides a clear statement of the organization’s values. The mission answers the question, “What is our business?”
Goals – what the organization wishes to accomplish. Goals are open-ended and general in nature.
Objectives – what will the organization accomplish, by what means, and by what date. Objectives are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound (SMART). They tell what the organization will accomplish and by what date. They are of much shorter range than goals.
22
EFFECTIVENESS VS. EFFICIENCY
Being effective is about doing the right things , while being efficient is about doing things right(way).

STAKEHOLDERS A shareholder can be an individual, company, or institution that owns at least one share of a company and therefore has a financial interest in its profitability.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Firms have multiple stakeholders and must go beyond a focus solely on financial results.
Social responsibility is the expectation that businesses or individuals will strive to improve the overall welfare of society.
Many young professionals expect their employers to be active in social issues. Membership in Netimpact.org, a network of socially-conscious MBA graduates, jumped from 4,000 in 2002 to 10,000 in 2004.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
Strategic objectives
Used to operationalize the mission statement
Provide guidance on how to fulfill mission & vision
Measurable, specific, appropriate, realistic & timely
Channel all employees’ efforts toward common goals
Can be both financial and nonfinancial
Should be challenging, yet help resolve conflicts
Provide a yardstick for rewards & incentives
BUT too many objectives can result in lack of focus

The graphic depicts the hierarchy of goals as a triangle on the left, with vision at the top, mission statement in the middle, and strategic objectives at the base. To the right of the triangle is a graphic showing an arrow going both ways between general (vision) and specific (strategic objectives) and another arrow going both ways between long time horizon (vision) and short time horizon (strategic objectives).
Visions might be a general message, lacking specifics, whereas strategic objectives would be more specific, containing details. Visions have longer time horizons than would strategic objectives.
LET US DISCUSS
The attributes of strategic management described in this chapter are applicable to your personal careers as well. What are your overall goals and objectives? Who are the stakeholders you must consider in making your career decisions (family, community, etc.)? What tradeoffs do you see between your long-term and short-term goals?
44
PLEASE HAVE A THOUGHT
Ambidexterity:
The four most important traits of ambidextrous individuals.
Looking for opportunities beyond the description of one’s job
Seeking out opportunities to collaborate with others,
Building internal networks, and
Multitasking.
Evaluate yourself along each of these criteria. If you score low, think of ways in which you can improve your ambidexterity.
