What Strategic Management is...
Strategic management processes link and activate the following spheres of an enterprise towards effective performances: vision, mission and objectives; the general environment; the industry and international environment; enterprises' internal factors; general strategic and tactical alternatives; strategy variations; choosing appropriate strategy and tactics; resource and structure; policies-plans-procedures and administration and establishing an evaluation system.
Knotty problems arise in the field of strategic management like depletion of natural energy resources; relationship between political and business corporations; justice for the society in which business corporations exists. These are to be tackled by adopting a strategy which satisfies all.
