Till now, people used to think that only the privileged class of people have the right to study strategic management. It was mostly catered to like corporate supremacy or as a top-level technique in handling Management related issues. But that is not the truth of the present scenario.

Decision-making rights of an organisation presently lie in the hands of the managers in the middle stage. The major problem is that these managers are unaware of what real strategic management is, it’s tools and tricks along with the basic structure of different types of strategies. Although the managers take significant decisions involving the growth of the organisation, they are unaware of the necessary foundations of strategic management. The start of strategic decision making depends on resources and compatibility of the organisation.
