Strategy……. Speaking informally to a group of MBA students at Harvard Business School, Jack Welch explained: “ Strategy is trying to understand where you sit today in today’s world. Not where you wish you were and where you hoped you would be, but where you are. And (it’s trying to understand) where you want to be…It’s assessing with everything in your head the competitive changes that you can capitalize on or ward off to go from here to there. It’s assessing the realistic changes of getting from here to there.”
Strategy… • Mintzberg : Strategy thus may not be something which is within a formal plan, but is more likely to be discovered intuitively. This can be achieved by reflecting on what has actually happened , or what is currently happening, or what is about to happen.
What is strategic management? • A continuous, iterative process aimed at keeping an organization as a whole appropriately matched to its environment (Certo and Peter) • It is a continuous process of effectively relating the organization's objectives and resources to the opportunities in the environment (Schellen Berger and Boseman) • It is a process of formulating, implementing and evaluating cross-functional decisions that enable an organisation to achieve its objectives (F R David) • It is a stream of decisions and actions which lead to the development of an effective strategy or strategies to a help achieve corporate objectives (Glueck and Jauch) • It is the set of decisions and actions resulting in formulation and implementation of strategies designed to achieve the objectives of an organisation (Pearce and Robinmson, 2001)

One of the most under spread models for environmental scanning is SWOT analysis (Ansoff 1965), can help to identify, external changes with a direct or indirect impact on your business. (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats) • Environmental scanning can also be done through PEST factors at large in the environment. ( Political, Economical, Social, Technological)
