“ Strategic Management is not a box of tricks or a bundle of

techniques. It is analytical thinking and commitment of resources to

action”

- Peter Drucker-

1. Forming a strategic vision of where the organization is headed – so as to provide long-term direction, delineate what kind of enterprise the company is trying to become, and infuse the organization with a sense of purposeful action.

2. Setting objectives – converting the strategic vision into specific performance outcomes for the company to achieve.

3. Crafting a strategy to achieve the desired outcomes.

4. Implementing and executing the chosen strategy efficiently and effectively.

5. Evaluating performance and initiating corrective adjustments in vision, long-term direction, objectives, strategy, or execution in light of actual experience, changing conditions, new ideas, and new opportunities.

Task – 1 Strategic Vision

- What is the organization’s long term direction

- Technology – product – customer focus it intends to pursue

- Future business scope

“Where we are going ? ”

Mission Statement

- Present business scope

- Stress company’s product & services are

“ Who we are and what we do ? ”

Strategic Vision Definition

A strategic vision is a roadmap of a company’s future-providing specifics about technology and customer focus, the geographic and product markets to be pursued, the capabilities it plans to develop, and the kind of company that management is trying to create.

Mission Statement Definition

A company’s mission statement is typically focused on its present business scope-”who we are and what we do”; mission statements broadly describe an organization’s present capabilities, customer focus, activities, and business makeup.

The Difference between Strategic Vision & Mission Statement

A strategic vision portrays a company’s future business scope (where we are going) where as company mission statement describe it’s present business scope (who we are, what we do)

Examples of Strategic Vision and Company Mission Statement

Microsoft Corporation For years, one vision drove what Microsoft did: “A computer on every desk and in every home using great software as an empowering tool.” But the emergence of the Internet and non-PC devices like handheld computers and TV-set-top boxes as increasingly integral parts of everyday life prompted Microsoft in 1999 to broaden its vision to “Empower people through great software anytime, anyplace, and on any device. “Bill Gates observed: “We see a world where people can use any computing device to do whatever they want to do anytime, anywhere. The PC will continue to have a central role… but it will be joined by an incredibly rich variety of digital devices accessing the power of the Internet.”

Intel“Our vision: Getting to a billion connected computers worldwide, millions of servers, and trillions of dollars of e-commerce. Intel’s core mission is being the building-block supplier to the Internet economy and spurring efforts to make the Internet more useful. Being connected is now at the center of people’s computing experience. We are helping to expand the capabilities of the PC platform and the Internet.”

Examples of Strategic Vision and Company Mission Statement

3Com“3Com’s mission is to connect more people and organizations to information in more innovative, simple, and reliable ways than any other networking company in the world. Our vision of pervasive networking is of a world where connections are simpler, more powerful, more affordable, more global, and more available to all.”
