Strategy is synonymous with choice. What paths to trail, which actions to implement, which investments to make - without a clearly defined strategy, there is no direction. Without management one does not know if the defined strategy is actually being followed. Strategy and Management are vital tools for organizations that aim for sustainable growth and market leadership.
