What is Strategic Management?

Strategic Management
The set of decisions and actions used
to formulate and implement strategies
that will provide a competitively
superior fit between the organization
and its environment so as to achieve
organizational goals.
 What is Company Vision?
Defines the desired or intended future
state of an organization or enterprise in
terms of its strategic direction. Vision
is a long term view, sometimes
describing how the organization would
like the world in which it operates to be.

For example a charity working with the

poor might have a vision statement which
read "A world without poverty
 Reasons for having a vision
statement
Gets team focused.
Shows a picture of where the
company is going.
Instills focus, discipline, and structure
within the organization.
Ensures that team understands
company direction.
 How to write a Vision?
Determine the organization's overriding goal
State what the organization envisions itself to be in
terms of values, employees, growth and contributions
to society.
Look at vision statements of competitors in the
industry
Use wording that will inspire your team. Think of
adjectives and sentences that will get the team excited
and will make them think they are part of something
that is much bigger than something they could have
thought of themselves.
Get other people on the team to critique the draft of the
vision to make sure it's effective and inspiring. If there
are any key customers the organization trusts, ask
them to review the draft too.
What is Company Mission?
Company Mission
The unique purpose that
sets a company apart from
others of its type and
identifies the scope of its
operation. In product,
market, and technology
 Mission
Definition: A sentence describing a company's
function, markets and competitive advantages; a
short written statement of your business goals
and philosophies
A mission statement defines what an
organization is, why it exists, its reason for
being. At a minimum, your mission statement
should define who your primary customers are,
identify the products and services you produce,
and describe the geographical location in which
you operate

How to write a Mission?
Ask "What do we do?"; "How do we do it?";
and "For whom do we do it,"
Create a draft mission statement describing
how the company uniquely answers these
questions. Touch on the organization's current
operations and the industry it is in.
Look at competitors in the industry and use
their mission statements for research. Ask
yourself what works and what does not work.
Revise your mission statement as needed.
Get feedback from other members of the
organization once the statement is drafted.
 The Difference between
Vision & Mission
Vision - The Future
Definition: The way in which one
sees or conceives something; a
mental image; An overall statement
of the goal of the organization.
Vision should describe what will be
achieved in the wider sphere if the
organization and others are
successful in achieving their
individual missions.
 The Difference between
Vision & Mission
Mission - The Present
Definition: An assignment one is sent to
carry out; a self-imposed duty. A mission
statement identifies the reason for the
existence of the organization. The
statement should be linked to the overall
operations and business of the
organization
A Mission statement is more specific to
what the enterprise can achieve itself.
 Which comes first?
That depends. If you have a new start up business,
new program or plan to reengineer your current
services, then the vision will guide the mission
statement and the rest of the strategic plan. If you
have an established business where the mission is
established, then many times, the mission guides the
vision statement and the rest of the strategic plan.
Either way, you need to know your fundamental
purpose - the mission, your current situation in terms
of internal resources and capabilities (strengths
and/or weaknesses) and external conditions
(opportunities and/or threats), and where you want to
go - the vision for the future. It's important that you
keep the end or desired result in sight from the start
To remain competitive, companies
develop strategies that focus on:
1. Core competence
A business activity that an organization does
particularly well in comparison to competitors.

2. Synergy
The condition that exists when the
organizations parts interact to produce a joint
effect that is greater than the sum of the parts
acting alone.

3. Value Creation
The heart of strategy.
Value can be defined as the combination of
benefits received and costs paid by the
customers.
 Levels of Strategy
