Strategic planning can be defined as the process of determining the basic long
term objectives of an enterprise and the adoption of courses of action and
allocation of resources necessary to achieve these objectives.
i. Defining corporate mission
ii. Establishing Strategic Business Unit (SBU)

iv. Planning new business and downsizing older business
CORPORATE AND DIVISION……….
B) ESTABLISHING SBU

from the rest of the company

C)ASSIGNING RESOURCES TO EACH SBU
When a company has a number of products in the market,
not all of them are contributing equally, not all of them
have equal opportunity for growth. Each of them has to be
treated differently and budget allocation make separately.
EXAMPLES:
Boston consulting group approach
I)question marks -operate in high growth rate where there is
already a market leader. Company has to pour more
investment to stay competitive.
Ii)stars - a star is a market leader in high growth market-may not
give sufficient revenue or profit
Iii) cash cows -when growth rate falls than 10% the stars
becomes a cash cow provided it still has a very high market
share and contributed significantly to the profitability of the
company. Growth rate has slowed because the sector growth
has slowed.
Iv) dogs-here the objective is to sell or liquidate the business
because resource can be better utilized elsewhere.
