Operation Strategy and the Strategy of Overall Company

the management strategy can broadly be divided into three parts forming the overall company strategy drawn out from the view points of operation strategy, function-wise strategy and the overall enterprise strategy. Among these, the function-wise strategy shall be taken up in the detail in Unit 3 and the other two viz. operation strategy and the overall enterprise strategy are taken up here.

The operation strategy and overall company strategy reflect the difference of different layers in the organization. Their roles also differ. In the operation strategy, various problems related to the different operation are analysed, whereas, in the overall company strategy, the different topics and problems related with the overall company are taken up more broadly and the analysis is carried out on the basis of long term view point. At the same time, it is necessary to study the conformity between the operation strategies.

As the company becomes larger and its operation activity also widens, the management strategy comes into existence as a result of cooperative working of large number of people in the organization. The first problem under such circumstances is how to draw a management strategy. In other words, how to seek the cooperative working of all the people and how to draw a implementation of such a system. To what extent, the management strategy can be defined in concrete form in such cases? The abstract form management strategy as well as the concrete from management strategy have their own respective merits.
