You may not be interested in Strategy. But Strategy is interested in you.
Strategy is an intent or plan that precedes action. It is the chosen direction, or set of directions, we follow in our quest toward the fulfillment of our larger mission or purpose. The object of strategy is to bring about favorable conditions within which action will occur.
Strategic decisions determine the grand direction upon which a company will embark.
