    Session1 Strategic M a n a g e m e n t | 1 Strategic Management Session 1 1. Strategic Management 1.1. Strategic Management Concepts Strategic management consists of the analysis, decisions, and actions an organization undertakes in order to create and sustain competitive advantages. This definition captures two main elements that goes to the heart of the field of strategic management. First, the strategic management of an organization entails three ongoing processes: analysis, decisions, and actions. That is, strategic management is concerned with the analysis of strategic goals (vision, mission, and strategic objectives) along with the analysis of the internal and external environment of the organization. Next, leaders must make strategic decisions. These decisions, broadly speaking, address two basic questions: What industries should we compete in? How should we compete in those industries? These questions also often involve an organization’s domestic as well as its international operations. And last are the actions that must be taken. Decisions are of little use, of course, unless they are acted on. Firms must take the necessary actions to implement their strategies. This requires leaders to allocate the necessary resources and to design the organization to bring the intended strategies to reality. As we will see in the next section, this is an ongoing, evolving process that requires a great deal of interaction among these three processes. Second, the essence of strategic management is the study of why some firms outperform others. Thus, managers need to determine how a firm is to compete so that it can obtain advantages that are sustainable over a lengthy period of time.

    AN ABBREVIATED ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY H. Igor Ansoff 1918–2002 Dr Roberta A. Cowan, Research Fellow, Curtin Business School, Curtin University of Technology Two bibliographies of works of H. Igor Ansoff have appeared in print (Ansoff 1992; Hussey 1999). The latter bibliography attempted to provide additional information to some entries from the former and did not include other entries, without explanation of their omission. The items below may not represent a complete reconstruction of the literature published by Igor Ansoff since much of his work appears to have been in the form of reports and working papers. Henry Mintzberg is reported as having described Ansoff as the ‘father of strategic management’ (Williams 2002) and stated that ‘Igor’s real contribution to the literature . is not prescriptive but descript- ive, in the concepts he provided to us’ (Mintzberg 1991: 464). For these reasons it is important to record Ansoff’s published works accurately. The sources for literature are the online catalogues called WorldCat (libraries within the Online Computer Library Center Inc. (OCLC) con- sortium), COPAC (libraries within the academic consortium, UK), the British Library (BL), the Library of Congress (LC) and other national libraries. The search for journal articles was undertaken using the databases available at the universities in Perth, Western Australia. No non-paper media have been included in this bibliography. Format The bibliography is divided into four sections. The first section provides a small number of citations about Igor Ansoff. The second section provides the references which were listed either in Ansoff (1992) or Hussey (1999), listed in chronological order, grouped under topic headings that reflect the major chronological events in the autobiographical essay ‘A profile of intellectual growth’ (Ansoff 1992).
