The prime aim of a business strategy is to provide superior value, differentiation, and core competencies for an organization. Forming a successful business strategy involves creating a first-rate competitive strategy. Businesses must develop a plan that addresses ways to compete in their respective markets. Strategic planning is necessary for the smooth execution of business strategy.

It is imperative for the organization to assess its strengths and weaknesses in order to exploit opportunities and gain sustainable competitive advantage. Strategic planning helps in gaining sustainable competitive advantage.

There are a variety of perspectives, models and approaches used in strategic planning. The way that a strategic plan is developed depends on the nature of the organization's leadership, culture of the organization, complexity of the organization's environment, size of the organization, expertise of planners, etc.

The Annual International Conference on Business Strategy and Organizational Behaviour (BizStrategy) provides opportunities for academics, researchers, experienced professionals and business people to share their research findings in this area with the world.

A business strategy provides an overall direction to the organization. Strategic planning in business is a vital back end exercise, and one that demands your own thoughts and ideas. Unlike most other business areas, strategic planning can’t be outsourced or passed on to other parties – it’s something you, as a business owner, will need to concern yourself with, and your drive and passion is the main factor sitting behind any success you do ultimately achieve. Thus your personal investment in strategic planning is fundamental to growing and improving the way your business operates. For any small business owner, the importance in business strategy planning is obvious and essential to long term success, thus it is a factor that should be considered on a frequent, if you weekly or daily basis.
