That is what strategic planning is all about - having specific objectives. To have strategic planning means to have a goal or targets to meet. And these targets are the breakdown of these specific objectives to meet in order to reach the goal. \nAnd more importantly, meeting these targets (objectives) and completing them on schedule or ahead of schedule if you can put together a successful and effective team. Having these specific objectives mean nothing if you don't have good teamwork and co-operation from all levels. The selling point (getting people to buy into them) are just as important as putting these specific objectives together. Without these support, your objectives are not going anywhere and your final goal will not be achieved.

A strategic alliance is a relationship that is fake, only for gain. It's like if I'm your friend, only to bang your girlfriend. That's how the US has world allies.

Well, if the strategic management is effective, the corporate performance is improved and profits increase. 'Strategic Management' is making sure an organisation moves in the right direction. It's a very general question, though.

Short term -- something involving up to the next 12 months.\n\nLong term -- something involving beyond the next 12 months.\n\nAs far as strategy goes, its difficult to say that there are really any truly strategic decisions that are focused on the short-term.  Strategy typically is for a longer period of time.  A short term strategic decision would be one that is focused on getting you/your business over a hump in the short term, but will probably not be followed thru with unless the long term implications are beneficial.

Michael E. Porters "Five Forces" has been the de facto standard since the 80's for approaching business strategy:\n\nhttp://www.quickmba.com/strategy/porter.shtml\n\nSubsequent approachs have been adaptations or partial rejections of this approach.  Regardless, if you are going to learn business strategy and analyze opponents well, you should start here.  It will give you context for subsequent learning.

It's kind of a phased approach where one item follows another. It's general to software methodologies and not really specific to BI. There's a good diagram and some discussion in the link below.

In management, you are studying the "nuts and bolts" of how to manage a business.  (Hence the name "business management," I suppose.)\n\nIn organizational leadership, you are studying how to inspire and motivate followers, to develop a vision for an organization, etc.  It is geared more toward executive levels of leadership.

Could you have mistyped it, or read a mistype?  It could've been "strategic management", which is...\n\n...the process of specifying an organization's objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve these objectives, and allocating resources so as to implement the plans. It is the highest level of managerial activity, usually performed by the company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and executive team. It provides overall direction to the whole enterprise. An organization’s strategy must be appropriate for its resources, circumstances, and objectives. The process involves matching the company's strategic advantages to the business environment the organization faces. One objective of an overall corporate strategy is to put the organization into a position to carry out its mission effectively and efficiently. A good corporate strategy should integrate an organization’s goals, policies, and action sequences (tactics) into a cohesive whole.

In terms of business unit strategy, of Porter's generic strategies, Walmart is attribute the "Low Cost" strategy instead of the differentiation or scope/niche strategy. \n  In terms of functional operational strategies, they are pursuing value chain optimization, service, marketing strategies which all have their own jargon.  In terms of international strategies they tend to pursue "Direct Investment" strategies where they prefer to build or buy their expansion rather than partner with existing firms.

Both are correct but with different emphasis.  "Here I am" lets someone know you're around, but "I am here" puts more emphasis on the precise location.
