Abstract:
This paper is concerned with the processes by which strategy is developed within
organisations. It builds on research into the nature of strategy development being
undertaken within the Centre for Strategic Management and Organisational Change
at Cranfield School of Management. Initially the process of strategy development is
discussed, a number of explanations of the process are presented and an integrated
framework is developed. This framework is subsequently used to illustrate the
strategy development process operating in a number of organisations. The
implications for the strategic management process are discussed.
