Strategic management involves developing and implementing
plans to help a company achieve its business objectives.
This can include building an annual strategy, planning
organizational structure and resource allocation, leading
change initiatives, and controlling processes and resources.

choosing the best strategy, monitoring progress, and then
making adjustments to the executed strategy to improve
performance.
Strategic Management
Tools like SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats) analysis are used to assess where opportunities and

at a department- or team-level.
