Strategic Management Principles
Abstract
Building on the understanding of the theories and models of firms, this chapter reviews the basic principles of strategic management of business enterprises. First, the basic principles of business strategy are explained. Only through in-depth understanding and diligent application of these principles will business executives be able to make strategic choices and craft an appropriate business strategy and the corresponding value configuration, business model, or e-business model for the firm. Second, the role of corporate strategy and its relationships with business unit strategies are discussed. The discipline of strategic management is introduced together with the principles of strategy maps—a model which is explained and illustrated by case example of its application by a leading corporation in more detail in Chapter V as part of a strategic alignment discussion. Third, the principles of strategic planning and the measurement of competitive strategy are described. These tasks ensure a corporate/business strategy is rigorously planned, resourced, and diligently executed to deliver the requisite strategic goals. Following on from the resource-based and activity-based theories of firms discussed in Chapter I, this chapter describes the corresponding resource-based and activity-based strategies. In addition, with the increasing importance of corporate governance comes the need to ensure due consideration is given to ethics in information technology deployment. Theories for ethics in IT and their incorporation in IT strategy are still emerging. The basic issues for IT strategy developmental consideration are reviewed.
