The Hoshin Planning approach aligns your strategic goals with your projects and tasks to ensure that efforts are coordinated. This strategic management model is less focused on measures and more on goals and initiatives.
The leadership team or stakeholders identify the major issues and goals as a first step. Next, your organization will create action plans to address the issues, including budget allocation. From there, you will execute and track progress. After an issues-based plan has been implemented and the major issues you identified are resolved, then your organization might consider shifting to a broader, more complex strategic management model.
If you are set on pitching a particular strategic planning model to management, be prepared to give your boss or board of directors an example of another successful company that has utilized that particular model. An actual demonstration of success will make a somewhat abstract concept become more concrete.
Abstract. Introduction. In spite of a large number of studies dedicated to various problems of strategic management, scholars differ on the content of the term strategic management. To define it, an eclectic approach is used combining individual components of the strategy process with some functions of management, methods and important characteristics of goals and strategies.
Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to try to interpret the term strategic management based on the need for interrelationship and interaction of the basic and specific functions of management for the implementation strategy process.
Results. The paper analyses the theoretical foundations of managerial functions and their relation to strategic management. It studies approaches to defining the essence of strategic management. It also establishes that functional strategies of an organisation are ensured by performance of the specific management functions. It is shown that general managerial functions are used at the highest level of the organisational structure in order to address operational, tactical and strategic tasks. The interpretation of strategic management factoring in integrated performance of the basic and auxiliary management functions at the stages of strategy process implementation was specified.
The main goal of the study was to examine or investigate the impact of strategic management practices on the growth of SMEs in Ghana. Purposive sampling technique was employed to sample 190 SMEs in Accra, though 150 SMEs responded to the questionnaire. With the help of SPSS version 22, Multiple regression analysis was conducted to assess the impact of strategic management practices on the performance and hence growth of SMEs in Ghana. The study revealed a significant positive relationship between strategy formulation and growth of SMEs in Ghana. The study also found a significant positive relationship between strategy implementation and the growth of SMEs in Ghana, but found a negative relationship between strategy evaluation and growth of SMEs in Ghana. However, overall, the study found a positive relationship between effective and efficient application of strategic management practices and the growth of SMEs in Ghana. As a contribution to policy and practice, the study recommended among others that policy makers, managers and owners of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) should employ strategic management experts especially in the field of strategy evaluation to enhance the quality of their strategy evaluation process so as to positively influence the performance and growth of SMEs.
