It is true fact that management strategies helps the managers to meet the goals of the organisation because strategy management helps the managers to analyze, identify and develop a competitive advantage which is a significant edge over the competition in dealing with competitive forces. It promotes a scene of direction so that organisation members know where to expand their effort.
