Stages of Strategic Management: Strategy Formulaton

Strategic management is the art and science of formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions to achieve organizational objectives. It involves three main stages: strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. Strategy formulation develops a vision and mission, identifies external opportunities and threats, determines internal strengths and weaknesses, and establishes long-term objectives. Strategy implementation establishes annual objectives, motivates employees, and allocates resources. Strategy evaluation reviews performance and takes corrective actions. Strategic management allows organizations to be proactive, initiate activities, and use a systematic approach to decision-making.
