Examples of Strategies Strategy 1: buy equipment and other required assets with
the money and use resources including human resources tomanufacture product A.
Strategy 2: Outsource the production of product A and usethe resources including human resources to market and
distribute the product.
Strategy 3: Sell patent to a larger firm, sell resources, fireemployees, and do other business
Example: once the organization decides that it wants to be amanufacturer of product A, there are many decisions thatmust be made about how to profitably manufacture product A and gain competitive advantage.

A strategy is defined as a pattern of purposes, policies, programmes, actions,
decisions, or resource allocations thatfocuses essentially on deciding on what theorganization is trying to do, what it is tryingto become within its business environment.

these have to be effective) ± Review and monitoring procedures have to be considered
(This may involve, performance indicators, benchmarking)
± Accountability procedures must be put in place
