An organization’s strategy normally comprised the following:
Ø Actions to merge with or acquire a rival company, form strategic alliances, or collaborate closely with certain industry members

in war)

Version 2
Strategic Management is the process of specifying an organization’s objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve these objectives, and allocating resources so as to implement the plans. It is the highest level of managerial activity. It provides overall direction to the whole enterprise objectives.

Five important tasks of Strategic Management
• Forming a strategic vision – what the organization’s future business makeup will be & were the organization is headed
• Setting objectives – converting the strategic vision into specific performance, outcomes for the organization to achieve
• Crafting a strategy to achieve the desired outcomes
• Implementing & executing the chosen strategy efficiently & effectively

Factors that shape on organization’s strategy :
PEST, where
P – political
E – economic
S – social
T – technologies




Political factors
Political factors include government regulations and legal issues and define both formal and informal rules under which the firm must operate. Some examples include:
• Tax policy
• Employment laws
• Environmental regulations
• Trade restrictions and tariffs
• Political stability

Economic factors.
Economic factors affect the purchasing power of potential customers and the firm’s cost of capital. The following are examples of factors in the macro economy:
• Economic growth
• Interest rates
• Exchange rates
• Inflation rates

Social factors.
Social factors include the demographic and cultural aspects of the external macro environment. These factors affect customer needs and the size of potential markets. Some social factor include :
• Health consciousness

Faced with PEST, an organization had to constantly carry out process of self analysis. PEST can be opportunities and threats. Analysis of environment under which an organization operate is referred to as SWOT analysis.(Internal strength & weaknesses, external opportunities & threat).
