How does strategic management allow an organization to take a proactive stance towards shaping its own future?

Answer 1

When you allow allignment of strategies to performance you look at common efforts, best efforts, decentralisation, centralisation, feed back and tempo. In decentralisation you gather infromation from the market as new niches or cluster of customers gets formed and is fed back. You allocate resources to serve this new customers or niche through a new budget or a flexi budget. Thus you grow your mission or direct your mission to the new market formed. Proactivity is easily visible in this through earlier direction of mission to the newly forming market the action being initiated prior to the event actully taking place.
