Study Notes
- There are three levels of strategies.
- Top level.
- Middle level.
- Lower level.
- An organization typically has three types of goals.
- Strategic Plan.
- Tactical Plan.
- Operational Plan.
- Strategic managers work with the strategic plan.
- Tactical managers (supervisors) work with the tactical plan.
- Operational managers work with the operational plan.
- The role of tactical managers is to clarify strategies for lower-level managers.
- They accomplish this by breaking down strategy into narrower strategies called tactics.
- Both middle and lower levels are responsible for the implementation process.
- Lower levels are responsible for actual implementation.
Differences
- In planning, the sequence is strategic plan first.
- In formulation, the tactical plan depends on the strategic plan.
- In implementation, the sequence starts with the operational plan.
- In implementation, the tactical plan depends on the operational plan.
- Therefore, if the operational plan is executed correctly, the tactical plan will also be correct.
Goals
- Objectives should be:
- Specific
- Measurable.
- Achievable.
- Realistic.
- Time-tabled.
- Strategic plans are abstract, focusing on general goals rather than details.
- Strategic plans are long-term plans to achieve goals and objectives.
