This course is about ‘strategic management’. The emphasis in this course is unashamedly on getting managers, and would-be managers, to ‘think’ about their business institution and their work – rather than simply finding ways to reach out to more people in faster ways. The first part provides an overview on ‘strategic management’. Strategic management is the process of specifying an organization’s objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve these objectives, and allocating resources to implement the policies and plans to achieve the organization’s objectives. The second part is about organizational development. Any group committed to human development needs to build supportive structures and patterns of working with people that are consistent with their overall aims. The third part explores what is meant by change management. In the fourth part we will be examining some important ways in which a business can align itself to the standards that characterise world-class operations. The fifth, and final, part concerns how to carry out a strategic planning exercise. If CPI, (continuous process improvement), is more concerned with the immediate improvements one wants to see in an organization, such as a business, then a strategic planning exercise is concerned with the long term improvements.
