On a macro level, strategic management is concerned with the long-term direction, scope and performance of an organization. As such it draws on other disciplines (e.g., marketing, finance, economics, organisational behaviour) already covered in the Bachelor of Business program. Whether the overall ‘strategy’ of an organization emerges from the interplay of functional departments or is a ‘grand plan’ devised by one group, its implementation takes place at the functional/process level where goals, plans and actions need to align with other departments as part of a coherent orientation. Hence all managers need to understand how their roles and functions are part of the overall strategy of the organization.
