IMPACT OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT ON ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the study

Economic environment is changing rapidly and this change is characterized by such phenomena as the globalization, changing customer and investor demands, ever-increasing product-market competition. To complete successfully in this environment, organizations continually need to improve their performance by reducing cost, innovating products and processes and improving quality, productivity and speed to market.

“Strategic management is an ongoing process that evaluates and controls the business and the industries in which the company is involved, assesses its competitors and set goals and strategies to meet all existing and potential competitors, and then reassess each strategy annually or quarterly (ie regularly) to determine how it has been implemented and whether it has succeeded or needs replacement by a new strategy to meet charged circumstances, new technology, new competitors, a new economic environment, or a new social, financial or political environment” (Lamb, 1984). Achieving a competitive advantage position and enhancing firmperformance relative to their competitors are the main objectives that business organizations in particular should strive to attain. (Raduan, Jegak, Haslinda and Alimin, 2009).

Strategic management can depend upon the size of an organization, and the proclivity to change of its business environment. Therefore, a global transnational organization may employ a more structured strategic management model, due to its size, scope of operations, and need to encompass stakeholder views and requirement.
