In today's highly competitive business environment; budget-oriented planning or forecast-based planning methods are insufficient for a large corporation to survive and prosper. The consistency of competency is directly proportional to their capabilities of differentiation.

The firm must engage in strategical planning that clearly defines objectives and assesses both the internal end external situation to formulate strategy, implement the strategy, evaluate the progress and make adjustments as necessary to stay on track.

While large companies can afford to charge a department for the responsibility of strategy formulation and implementation; there can't be such departments in small and middle-sized companies because of other major concerns.
