Strategic Management Learning Filipino Style

Mostly, they will learn the strategic management does not become a manager and

an enterprise of one of the major international and Philippine society anywhere in the

near future. The decision-making tools that acquire overtime through experience will beuseful to all levels of an organization and in planning your own career development.

Strategic management involves industry analysis and analysis organized is important in

all types of organizations, especially small businesses, franchise operations and other

industries. Studying strategic management also equip the Filipino entrepreneur with tools

that allow him or her to address the important issues in a complex business environment.

A simple definition of what strategic management is a process by which people analyze

and learn from their internal and external environments and established the strategicdirection, create strategies to achieve goals.

In the Philippine setting, there are various factors that must be taken into consideration

when going into a business. Political factors must also be taken into account especially ina country which has already seen two popular uprisings and one nearly succeeding. Such

political uncertainty hurts business prospects in strategic planning. Careful planning will

ensure business success even in the most volatile economies. This is a perfect example ofan internal environmental factor.

External environmental factors will include global environmental forces such as

technological, political, economic or socio cultural trends. Rising oil prices will affect the

way how domestic production are priced. The war in the middle east also affect thePhilippines since we have a large number of overseas Filipino worker, and a large

number of them returning all at once will strain government resources in finding them

work at home. ( Rodes, 2011)

Strategic Human Resource Management: Some Theoretical

Considerations

Strategic management is an important factor in gaining competitive advantage not

only in a

domestic market, but also especially in a market that is global (Pearce et al., 1987).

Much rethinking

has been done on the role of HR in strategy formulation as its role in strategy

implementation gained

prominence (Tichy et al., 1982; Schuler, 1990).

Managerial Implications and Directions for Future Research

According to (Supangco, 2011)There is indication that HR practices in the Philippines

tend toward a strategic HR approach, in terms of formalized strategy formulation

process and involvement of line managers in the development of policies affecting

HR. However, HR is still far removed from being involved instrategy formulation at

the outset. While involving HR in the process may be the CEOs call, HR canget itself

invited by being proactive and showing that activities impact on the bottom line. This

calls for more conscious measuring and monitoring of results of HR activities, and a

better understandingof the role of the HRIS enables this. Monitoring of costs and

benefits of each program will befacilitated with an HRIS. Currently, HRIS seems to be

used in attendance, payroll, and workscheduling.

Monitoring of costs and benefits of programs that are costly, but adds value to the

organization such as training, benefits, performance management, and career and

succession

planning, still needs to be tapped. In addition, most HR staff may be trained in

technical areas, their

backgrounds being in the social sciences, training in strategic management and other

business

essentials may legitimize their being involved in strategic formulation stage at the

outset.

One limitation of this study is the use of convenience sampling, which limits

generalization to

organizations that participated in the study. For future research, a database of HR

executives may be

built to draw the sample from in a random manner.

Future studies may involve analyses of the factors that account for the changesin practices,

and identifying characteristics of organizations that have made changes in their

practices. As

organizations enter international markets, the environment in which they

compete becomes

global. Thus, a comparison of HR practices across different Cranet member

countries may also

be looked into.
