The business world as well as the nature of its markets, dynamics, consumer behavior and the actions of competitor firms in the market are constantly changing. It is not possible to respond to new products or the changes to previous products by the competitors by using the same applications or using the same products. Companies need to adapt to the changes in the sector and the globe. Strategic planning to essential for foreseeing all these threats and opportunities and taking actions to make a difference.
Strategic Planning is the identification of the methods and ways to pursue to reach a company’s medium and long-term goals and organizing resource allocation. The road map acquired at the end of the process defines the methods the company will use to reach its goals.
