General management perspective

• Beyond functional areas: for example, a company’s policy on what type of customers to go after affects marketing, production, finance, etc.
• Long-term implications

effectively– Set performance goals unique to the
organization– Set strategies to achieve goals and compete
with other nonprofits for scarce resources

Levels of Strategic Management
![Page 20: BA 469 Strategic Management and Business Policy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812ca5550346895d914cc9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Key Question for Each Level
• Corporate Strategy – what business(es) should the organization be in?
• Business Strategy – how should the organization compete?
• Functional Strategy – how should the organization’s resources be best employed to support business strategy?
![Page 21: BA 469 Strategic Management and Business Policy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812ca5550346895d914cc9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Reality Check:What do managers do?
• Phone calls, meetings, run around from place to place . .
• Minor decisions -- Mr. so and so gets to use the office in the basement
• Major decisions - - lets launch, abort
• All in a day’s work - - focus
![Page 22: BA 469 Strategic Management and Business Policy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812ca5550346895d914cc9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Reality Check:Can managers predict the future?
• National economy - - Where will interest rates be next month? Will economic growth be 2.5% or 2.75%? Does it matter?
• Industry performance
• Actions of competition
• Actual capabilities and performance of internal resources, i.e. your people

Emergent vis Intended Strategy
• Honda story is a classic; also consider Toys ‘R’ Us

of a changing situation• Serendipity (unintended, accidental,
sometimes wonderful discoveries)

Cognitive Biases

ExercisesStrategy in Action
• 1.1 and 1.2: Microsoft – we can assume that some sort of planning went into Microsoft’s original Internet strategy prior to 1994. How could they miss the Internet then?
• 1.4: Duke Energy – explain Duke’s planning process using Scenarios.
