Abstract

In this chapter, we explore strategy, underscoring its instrumental role in shaping differential performance and fostering a company’s overarching mission. We offer a unique perspective on strategic planning, emphasizing how strategic plans represent the unified consensus within the organization, encapsulating the company’s intended trajectory and the prioritized actions crucial for its attainment. We examine how businesses navigate diverse evolutionary trajectories across various dimensions, including industrial, national, social, and technological domains. We underscore the importance of understanding alternative models that illuminate these processes, facilitating strategic sensemaking, and aiding in the anticipation of future competitive scenarios. We also differentiate these models from practical tools that guide discussion and foster consensus. Additionally, we delve into the distinction between diagnosis and formulation, highlighting how the former involves a comprehensive analysis of both external and internal factors to identify significant gaps, while the latter entails prioritizing and defining objectives. We conclude the chapter by introducing the differences between competitive and corporate strategy, as well as aspects of strategy implementation.
