Business strategy is the foundation of successful business. But there are, of course, different types of business strategy. The best business strategies must steer a course between the inevitable internal pressure for business continuity and the demands of a rapidly changing world for revolutionary business strategies.
A full statement of a selected business strategy is a business plan defining:
· the company vision, overall corporate strategy,and objectives
· the strategy and tactics that will enable the company to reach those objectives
· the resources required, and how they are going to be obtained;
· what the main milestones and steps are along the way;
· who is responsible for causing each step to occur;
· what are the company's business risks and external factors that need to be kept under review for indications that a change in strategy or plan may be required.
As strategy today is a subject of application, rather than a discipline, the obvious underpinning disciplines for strategy are economics and organizational sociology. You should employ them to define a structure in which the process of strategy formulation and its implementation are bound together.
