Strategy as a Plan :
Planning is something that comes naturally to us. As such, this is
the default, automatic approach that is adopted. This involves
brainstorming options and planning how to exploit the
opportunity.
By this definition, strategy has two essential characteristics :
a) They are made in advance of the actions to which they apply.
b) They are developed consciously and purposefully.
As plans, strategies can be general or specific.
Strategy as a Ploy :
A Ploy is a specific maneouvre intended to outwit an
opponent or competitor. It involves plotting to disrupt,
dissuade, discourage or otherwise influence competitors as a
part of a strategy.
Strategy as a Pattern :
Strategic plans and ploys are both deliberate exercises.
Sometimes, however, strategy emerges from past
organizational behavior. Rather than being an intentional
choice, a consistent and successful way of doing business can
develop into a strategy.
Thus, defining strategy as a plan is not sufficient. We also need
a definition which takes into account the resulting behaviour.
Thus the definition of strategy as a pattern emerges.
By this definition strategy is consistency in behaviour, whether
or not intended.
Strategy as a Position :
Strategy as a Perspective :
This approach is based on the way an organisation views the
world around itself the customers, competitors and the
environment. Accordingly the conduct their business and
deal with situations.
LEVELS OF
STRATEGY

It decides the business you should be in. Is concerned
with the overall purpose and scope of an organisation
and how value will be added to the different parts
(Business units) of an organisation.
Business Unit strategy
Also known as Competitive Strategy, it decides the tactics to
beat/ overcome the competition. Is about how to compete
successfully in particular markets. The concerns are about
competitors, opportunities and new products or services.
LEVELS OF
STRATEGY
Operational strategy
Also called the Go-to-Market Strategy or Functional Strategy,
it decides the operational methods to implement the tactics.

The best business portfolio is the one that best fits the
companys strengths and weaknesses to opportunities in the
environment.
A perfect portfolio analysis is shaped to meet and suit the
company's potency and also enable it to exploit the best
opportunities available.
Analysis of a portfolio involves deciding on the relative
importance of available business and investment opportunities.

Strategy Implementation
Strategic-management process does not end when the firm
decides what strategies to pursue. There must be a transition of
strategic thought into strategic action. Implementing strategy
affects an organisation from top to bottom; it affects all the
functional and divisional areas of a business.
A technically imperfect plan that is implemented well, will
achieve more than the perfect plan that never gets off the
paper on which it is typed. Change comes through
implementation and evaluation and not through the plan.
Strategy Implementation
Focuses on effectiveness
Focuses on efficiency
Strategy formulation concepts and tools do not differ greatly for small, large,
for-profit or non-profit organisations. However, strategy implementation
varies substantially among different types.

McKinseys 7 S Framework
Developed in the early 1980s by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman,
two consultants working at the McKinsey & Company.
The basic premise of the model is that there are seven internal
aspects of an organization that need to be aligned if it is to be
successful.
The 7S model can be used in a wide variety of situations where an
alignment perspective is useful, for example to help :
McKinseys 7 S Framework
McKinseys 7 S Framework
The McKinsey 7S model involves seven interdependent factors
which are categorized as either "hard" or "soft" elements:
HARD ELEMENTS
SOFT ELEMENTS
STRATEGY
SHARED VALUES
STRUCTURE
SKILLS
SYSTEMS
STYLE
STAFF
McKinseys 7 S Framework
Shared Values: these are the core values of the company that are
evidenced in the corporate culture and the general work ethic.
Style: the style of leadership adopted.
Staff: the employees and their general capabilities.
Skills: the actual skills and competencies of the employees
working for the company.
It is easier for managements to influence hard elements, since they
are easier to define or identify. They include reporting systems,
procedures and IT systems.
Soft elements, although equally important, are intangible and more
related to culture. They are difficult to control or influence.

external environment and to the critical changes occurring
within.
3. Feasibility :

and financial resources of the enterprise.
4. Advantage :
The strategy must provide for creation and/ or maintenance of
a competitive advantage in a selected area of activity
(Resource, skill or position).

Balanced Scorecard
The emphasis is on establishing a balance between four
types of measurements :
1. Short term & Long Term
2. External & Internal
(External factors include shareholders and
customers and Internal include critical business
processes, innovation, learning and growth)
3. Performance Drivers (Leading indicators) &
Outcome measures (Lagging indicators)
4. Objective measures and Subjective measures.
(Objective measures are mostly financial while
Subjective measures are mostly non-financial)
