Strategy is War!
companies do compete
aggressively - even viciously - for
strategic advantage in a chaotic
arena that is increasingly similar
to the modern theater of war.

Vision
Vision is simply an inner picture of
something, which has not yet
happened. The vision set by leading
companies on Europe and US
requires the transformational style
adopted so successfully in much
admired companies like Shell,
GlaxoSmithKline and Cisco
Systems. Each began with an idea. A
clear vision.

Vision
Vision is where tomorrow begins, for
it expresses what you and others who
shares the vision will be working hard
to create. Since most people dont
take the time to think systematically
about the future, those who do - and
who base their strategies and actions
on their visions - have inordinate
power to shape the future.

Components of A Mission
Statement
Mission statements can and do vary in
length, content, format, and specificity.
Most practitioners and academicians of
strategic management feel that an
effective statement exhibits nine
components. Because a mission
statement is often the most visible and
public part of the strategic management
process.
