Market refers to ?
Strategic Management
answered on 31-Jul-25 16:35
Sir. I have a small doubt. Could you please clarify — when we say 'market' in strategic management, is it defined based on the need of the customer or based on geographical location? I’m a bit confused between the two."
latest answer
In strategic management, the definition of “market” depends on the context. It could be based on customer or geography or online as well. When we refer to something like the market for quick commerce is huge - here it refers to potential. We operate in CA market - This is product view.

How to study SM as it is too theoretical and involves lot of technical terms. I forget it after 10 mins of studying though I take notes.

IF you have taken our classes, you can use visual cues to remember. The only way to remember is repetition / revision

Lecture 13: Core Competencies and Competitive Advantage: THE LAST QUESTION AS AN INSIGHT
Strategic Management
answered on 16-Jul-25 09:14
By the end of this lecture video, sir asked, if the stratgic management is so helpful in building and establishing the brand of business, then why dont all the business use a good strategic management to improve. MY INSIGHT This could probably because of the following reasons (lIMITATION OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT) 1. SM for small business may be costlier to be implemented. 2. It require specific skills in making decisions and forcasting or predicting the future threats, which many business entrepreneur fails to judge initially. 3. As the business environment is ever changing, small enterprises may find comfort in performing their daily routine of business. This may because, people may find comfort in safe zone rather than risking themeselves in name of innovation. 4. Taking managerial decision is not a one stop business, it requires continous analaysis and implementing the right strategy with right Human or machinery or technological resources. This list could be expanded using practical perspectives of small scale business vs large scale business. [Video Time Stamp: 03:08]

Very good points. Also to add - Lack of formal education in strategy among small business owners limits structured planning. - Family-run businesses may rely on traditional methods instead of adopting modern strategies. -Fear of failure often holds back small businesses from experimenting with strategic initiatives. -Access to market data and insights is limited for micro and small enterprises. - Financial factors also must be considered.

LECTURE 12: Relationship Between three levels: MATRIX RELATIONSHIP
Strategic Management
answered on 15-Jul-25 09:30
Sir, is the matrix relatioship is similar as functional relationship, and the only difference is no hierarchy is followed. Irrespctive of hierarchy, a lower level employee/ departmental executive will have to report his superior (departmental manager) as well as Project Manager ( Business level manager). [Video Time Stamp: 12:12]
latest answer
Functional has only 1 manager and org structure is arranged around functions. IN case of matrix - there is dual relationship. One functional and other business.

LIMITATIONS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
Strategic Management
answered on 15-Jul-25 09:28
[INSIGHT] Sir, i feel the first limitation stated above is contradicting with a point in Importance of Strategic management. Importances states that, Strategic managemnt helps in developing the core competence and competetive advantage. It is all possible only when a strategy is implemented in a complex competetive and flexible environment. so i feel that this limitation is self contradictory to its advantage. Besides, i find this hard to understand that how the complex business environment is a limitation to strategic managemnt, where a simple business environment (monopoly business) might not require any strategy to outperform the competetion [Video Time Stamp: 01:06]

Its like CA exams are tough. So you prepare well for the exams. However, how much ever you prepare, it feels incomplete and still the exam is unpredictable. Good preparation - Helps you succeed in exam (advantage) Exam is unpredictable - So it is difficult to consistently have good preparation. even for monopoly business, you need to have strategies around finance, operations, marketing etc. Even there the organisation needs to be managed well towards the objective. So strategic management is important.
