Strategy comes from military art: <u>where<\/u> attack the enemy (competitors).<\/p><p>Which in management corresponds to 1) the choice of geographical areas, 2) (within those) the choice of industries and 3) (within those) the choice of segments.<\/p><p>As opposed to tactics, which in both military art and management are concerned with how: how to advertise? how to finance the company? how to hire and motivate human resources?
