  31. Strategic Planning Strategy is the fundamental pattern of present and planned resource deployments and environmental interactions that indicate how the organization will achieve its objectives

  32. Strategic Planning • Environmental scanning (anticipate or understand change pressures) • Normative planning or vision/mission • Strategic Planning: mission and objectives • Strategy Implementation: programs and projects to achieve objectives • Strategic Control: performance measures to determine whether objectives are achieved

  33. Environmental Scanning (some examples) • Long-range scenarios • Economic forecasts • Estimates of market size and growth • Industry/Competitor analysis • Forecast of customer requirements

  34. Vision/Mission • Defines the business • Defines position relative to expected situation in the market place • Written vision statements • Sometimes a product of serendipity • More often a result of painful collective effort

  35. Goals and Objectives • Goals/objectives are used interchangeably • Notion of a cascade of goals and objectives • Broad corporate goals: overall profits, growth • More specific functional objectives: market share, revenue by product • Unit-level objectives that support functional objectives

  36. Strategy Implementation • “Programs and projects” define specific action/steps necessary to achieve mission and objectives, e.g. • launch product x by June 1 • increase creativity in product design • improve outgoing product quality • improve IT capability • reduce attrition rate in sales force • improve morale • Structural and human resource planning usually included

  37. Strategic Control Systems • Steps in designing an effective control system FIGURE 4.8

  38. Strategic Planning in Practice • Planning ritual varies across companies • Driven from the top or some Corporate Planning unit close to the top • Ends in a 1-5 year rolling plan, programs/projects, and budget • Budgets get monitored, programs and projects are reviewed, plans are (sometimes) updated, assumptions invariably forgotten • Actual strategy can be fluid and clear only among top management or major decision-makers

  39. Assignment • Read BA 550 class packet: • Executing Change: Seven Key Considerations • What Leaders Really Do • Managing Your Boss • Case brief – Microsoft Vega • Complete proposal on term project
