Strategy

Strategy — we hear it in many facets of daily life, but how is it formulated at the national level or in the business world? What is its application for success and why do some fail?

Using models developed at Army and Navy War Colleges, and business schools in the U.S., this lecture will delve into the many facets of strategic thinking and strategy formulation. We will differentiate between strategy, stratagems and strategic planning. We will then look at several case studies of how given strategies succeeded or failed and why. Included will be a review of the national security strategy of the Obama administration and a look forward at what the new administration may structure as its NSS. Finally, we will also examine how other nations such as China and Russia formulate their respective strategies.
