Alternative Perspectives on Strategy Development
Traditional Strategic Management Process
• Situation Analysis--Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT)
• Strategies should take advantage of strengths and opportunities or neutralize or overcome weaknesses and threats
• Environmental Determinism--the best strategy involves adapting to environmental, technical and human forces
• Strategy is deliberate (always planned and intended by management)

1414
Contemporary Views
• Adaptation--strategy involves submitting to existing forces.
• Enactment--firms can, in part, create their environments.
• Deliberate--intended by management (planned)
• Emergent--organizations learn as they go by trial and error. Strategy is the pattern in a stream of decisions.
Stakeholder view
• Organizations are at the center of a network of contacts
• Increasing use of partnering

Resource-based View• Organization is made up of resources: financial, physical, human, general
organizational (structure, systems, culture, reputation, relationships with stakeholders).
• Sustainable competitive advantage--Comes from a resource that is valuable in the market, possessed by only a small number of firms (rare), and costly or difficult to imitate in the short term.
• Effective development or acquisition of organizational resources may be the most important reason that some organizations are more successful than others.

Also, strategy making is a combination of planning and learning. The approach also draws from organizational economics, especially pertaining to industry analysis
• Resource-based perspective--internal analysis leading to identification of sources of sustainable competitive advantage
• Stakeholder perspective--part of external analysis and alliance formation• Global perspective--integrated throughout all aspects of strategic
