Strategic Management - Five analytical models

Abstract

The main aim of this article is to present a framework that can be of use in understanding strategic management and doing strategy analysis. In the article a four dimensional view of strategic management is described and further developed into a framework to be used in strategy analysis. The four dimensional framework is then broken up and further developed into frameworks for each of the dimensions. The frameworks highlight aspects and issues that are important for an understanding how organizations are managed strategically, regardless of whether the focus is on activities in the past or present, or on preparing the organization for activities in the future.
