Nowadays,
all competitive companies or organizations, base their management
and operation on the fundamental concept of Strategy. There is strategy

planning, organization, human resources, marketing....
Strategy
is carried out by the management of a company, that want their organiztion
to work efficienty, and the best way for this to happen is to ensure
that there aren't any conflicts within.
It is for
this that the staff of the company will have to plan his strategy
depending on the aims that it chases, for what must define clearly
what it wants to obtain, the way of obtaining the fixed aims and a
later system of control. It is what is named Formulation and Implantation
of the strategy, which do not remain only in the previous study but
in the practice they develop at the same time.
With the
formulation of the strategy, the direction of the company defines
the aims that it tries to reach. For it it departs from an analysis
of his own company as well as of the environment that surrounds it.
With the putting in practice of the previous analysis the company
seeks to be competitive on the market and tries to achieve a competitive
advantage that allows him to obtain benefits superior to the competition.
