Question:
What types of strategy exist?
Author: Hjalmer PedersenAnswer:
1. Planed (Made by central management with precise intent backed by formal controls to ensure no surprises and is very deliberate) 2. Entrepreneurial (Made by a single leader in a personal, unarticulated vision. Easily adaptable to new ideas or opportunities. Strategy is relative deliberate but can emerge) 3. Ideological (Strategies originate in shared beliefs: intentions exist as collective vision of all actors, in inspirational form and relatively immutable, controlled normatively through indoctrination and/or socialization; organization often proactive vis-á-vis environment; strategies rather deliberate 4. Umbrella (Strategies originate in constraints: leadership, in partial control of organizational actions, defines strategic boundaries or targets within which other actors respond to own forces or to complex, perhaps also unpredictable environment; strategies partly deliberate, partly emergent and deliberately emergent) 5. Process (Strategies originate in process: leadership controls process aspects of strategy hiring. structure, etc.), leaving content aspects to other actors; strategies partly deliberate, partly emergent (and, again, deliberately emergent) 6. Unconnected (Strategies originate in enclaves: actor(s) loosely coupled to rest of organization produce(s) patterns in own actions in absence of, or in direct contradiction to, central or common intentions; strategies organizationally emergent whether or not deliberate for actor) 7. Consensus (Strategies originate in enclaves: actor(s) loosely coupled to rest of organization produce(s) patterns in own actions in absence of, or in direct contradiction to, central or common intentions; strategies organizationally emergent whether or not deliberate for actor) 8. Imposed (Strategies originate in enclaves: actor(s) loosely coupled to rest of organization produce(s) patterns in own actions in absence of, or in direct contradiction to, central or common intentions; strategies organizationally emergent whether or not deliberate for actor.
