Business strategy is all about the choices that business make about about how to achieve their objectives.
Johnson and Scholes define strategy as:
'..the direction and scope of an organisation over the long-term: which achieves advantage for the organisation through its configuration of resources within a challenging environment, to meet the needs of markets and to fulfil stakeholder expectations'.
In other words, strategy is about:
- Where is the business trying to get to in the long-term (strategic direction)
- Which markets should a business compete in and what kind of activities are involved in such markets?
- How the business perform better than its competition in those markets?
- What resources (skills, assets, finance, relationships, technical competence, facilities) are required in order to be able to compete?
- What external, environmental factors affect the businesses' ability to compete?
- What are the values and expectations of the stakeholders who have interest in and power over the business
Strategy at Different Levels of a Business
Strategies exist at several levels in any organisation - ranging from the overall business (or group of businesses) through to individuals working in it.
Corporate Strategy - is concerned with the overall purpose and scope of the business to meet stakeholder expectations. This is a crucial level since it is heavily influenced by investors in the business and acts to guide strategic decision-making throughout the business. Corporate strategy is often stated explicitly in a 'mission statement'.
Business Unit Strategy - is concerned more with how a business competes successfully in a particular market. It concerns strategic decisions about choice of products, meeting needs of customers, gaining advantage over competitors, exploiting or creating new opportunities etc.
Operational Strategy - is concerned with how each part of the business is organised to deliver the corporate and business-unit level strategic direction. Operational strategy therefore focuses on issues of resources, processes, people etc.
How Strategy is Managed - Strategic Management
In its broadest sense, strategic management is about taking 'strategic decisions' - decisions that answer the questions above.
In practice, a thorough strategic management process has three main components, shown in the figure below:
