In this module (and throughout the course) we will be discussing the strategic management CYCLE. And although organizations tend to consider organizational strategy yearly, organizational strategic plans tend to be multi-year endeavors often looking 5 or more years into the future. Given the typical 5 year outlook, discuss why companies go through the strategic management cycle yearly and why this is a good (or bad) idea. Give examples of companies that have incorporated strategies that took years to realize and discuss how annually revisiting a company?s strategic direction can influence an organization?s success in a competitive environment for longer range plans
