Class: GaMBA01.C03 Capstone project report Chapter THEORETICAL BASIS 1.1/ Theories about strategy management and basic studied arguments: 1.1.1/ Definition of strategy management: Currently, there are various statements about the definition of strategy management; however, the content is to achieve the long-term objective for a subject (organization) According to Fredr David, strategy management is defined as follows: “Strategy management can be defined as an art and science to establish, implement and evaluate the decisions related to various functions enabling an organization to achieve a proposed objective.” The process of strategy management is comprised of three stages: + Stage 1: Establishment of strategy includes the development of tasks, identification of external opportunities and risks faced by the organization, pointing out of internal strength and weakness, development of long-term objectives, proposal of alternative strategies, and selection of specific strategies for pursuing + Stage 2: Implementation of strategy refers to the fact that the organization must set annual objectives, stimulate the policies, encourage the personnel, and distribute the resources to enable the implementation of the strategy Implementation of strategy includes the development of a culture supporting the strategy to establish an effective organizational structure, to re-orient the activities, to prepare the budget, to develop and employ information system, and to provide motive for personnel to achieve efficient performance + Stage 3: Evaluation of Strategy is to monitor and comment the results of the strategy establishment and implementation This also includes the measurement and determination of achievements obtained by individuals and organization, and the proposal of adjustment, if necessary Strategy management is a process of human to achieve success Humans here mean the managers of all levels and the people implementing the strategies The Definition of Strategy Management Book by Fredr David is translated by Truong Cong Minh, Tran Tuan Thac, Tran Thi Tuong Nhu; and issued by the Statistics Publisher MBA program Tourism development strategy of BaRia-VungTau Group - Class: GaMBA01.C03 Capstone project report 1.1.2/ Theoretical basics related to strategy management: In strategy management, a circumstance may have various solutions, options, and actions The task of manager is to select the best strategy from the set of potential strategies to make implementing decision A good decision will lead to success, making the organization more and more develop On the contrary, a wrong decision will lead to failure According the above understanding, an organization has different types of Strategy Management in different periods: general strategy management of the whole organization (sector, business, etc); specific strategy management of functional divisions (production, marketing, human resource, finance, etc.) Specific strategies are specific solutions, actions of divisions those are selected basing on the requirements of the general strategies 1.1.3/ The factors affecting the strategy selection and decision making: To select a good and right strategy, the manager can not only base on the experience, since he may be too subjective leading to mistake, especially when the management is carried out on the large scale and in complicated manner Therefore, it is necessary to develop scientific basis for the strategy selection First of all, the factors with direct influence on the strategy selection and decision making must be considered There are two main factors as follows: - Quality factors - Quantity factors Quality factors always play the top important roles They are expressed through the objectives, tasks of the organization These objectives may vary by time The objectives of an organization may be reflected through the level of striving by period, the output, the productivity, the modernism, and the stand in the market Once the objectives are defined or stabilized, quantity factors become significant to select the strategy and decide the implementation These are the MBA program Tourism development strategy of BaRia-VungTau Group - Class: GaMBA01.C03 Capstone project report criteria to compare the strategic methods and to select the optimum strategy as the strategies with the most effective indicators In general, the objectives must be firstly identified as for the selection of appropriate strategy to achieve such objectives The things to be implemented to achieve the objectives are the contents of the strategy, which is expressed in the form of the decision issued by the competent level 1.1.4/ Introduction of matrixes for building strategy :  SWOT MATRIX : SWOT matrix combines external and internal factors to form SO, ST, WO, WT strategic methods SWOT analysis is one of the effective skills that helps us to improve the deciding ability; technical analysis helps us to identify strengths , weaknesses to find out opportunities and threats SWOT matrix includes main factors: - Strength (S = Strengths) is advantages of the sector - Weakness (W = Weaknesses) is the weak points of the sector - Opportunity (O = Opportunities) is the possibilities of the sector - Threat: (T = Threats) is the risks faced by the sector The establishment of SWOT matrix includes basic steps : - Step 1: List of main opportunities - Step 2: List of main external threats - Step 3: List of main strengths - Step 4: List of main internal weaknesses - Step 5: a combination of internal strength and external opportunity and appropriate SO methods This strategy makes use of its strength to take advantage of opportunity - Step 6: a combination of internal weakness and external opportunity and proposal of proper WO strategic method This strategy overcomes weakness by making use of opportunity - Step 7: a combination of internal strength and external threat and proposal of proper ST MBA program Tourism development strategy of BaRia-VungTau Group -
