The purpose of this paper is to recognize the importance of future forecasting, namely the process of strategic formulation (evaluation and selection of strategic alternatives), and the impact that this dimension can have in our business. However, during the compilation of this research, a number of research methods and studies have been used on applying evaluation techniques and selecting the strategy as an IE matrix, in international companies and application opportunities in Kosovo businesses. The study focuses on ways of strategic planning in local enterprises, their impact and results achieved. What this research tries to highlight is the ability to apply dimensions of the IE matrix and the correlation between matrix boxes and businesses. The model of this paper will include studies of international and local cases in order to derive an empirical analysis of data, where matrices will represent how we use strategic issues and how we strive to predict future and competitiveness. Regarding the concept of forecasting and competition, this segment is very dynamic and turbulent that the changes are visible, so through these techniques we will try to identify the environment and the ways of evaluating it. Therefore, the size of strategic management is a necessary and vital field for companies to plan their future and foresee the environment in which they operate so that their movements and actions can be realized with a loyal and honest competition.

This research focused on the strategic management tool Balanced Scorecard and strategic planning, as a guide to guide the management of companies, allowing communication and the functionality of the strategy using KPIs that allow to identify, maintain control and increase efficiency and the achievement of optimal results. For the deductive hypothetical analysis, the specific factors that affect business management performance were grouped into two variables: Balanced Scorecard and Strategic Planning. The objective of the work was to demonstrate the impact of the Balanced Scorecard in the strategic planning of a construction company. In order to support the research, the following theories were approached: the Financial Theory, the Economic Theory of the Company, the Transaction Costs, the Network Theory, the Organization Theory, the Dependence on Resources, the Strategic Management Theory and the Business Diagnosis Theory. The result obtained confirms the hypothesis that there is a significant incidence of the Balanced Scorecard in the strategic planning of construction companies. In conclusion, the construction company has obtained significant improvements in the results in each of the indicators evaluated with the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard, demonstrating improvements in their management results, affirming that there is better performance and management control allowing them to achieve the organizational objectives set.

This article aims to build knowledge on the theme “green logistics” and “institutional pressures”, focused on identifying opportunities on its research topic. We used the ProKnow-C intervention instrument, resulting in the selection of 11 relevant articles that came to represent the bibliographic portfolio. Therefore, the bibliometric indicators based on the most prominent journals, the impact factor, the number of citations, the origin of the research centers, the research methods/tools, the most used terms and the subjects covered were used to analyze the articles selected. research in the form of networks. The results showed that the most prominent journal is the International Journal of Production Economics; the article with the largest number of citations (343 citations) is written by Sameer Kumar and Valora Putnam. In relation to the origin of the research centers there was a diversity of institutions of various nationalities, the USA being the country with the largest number of institutions, followed by United Kindon and Malaysia. As for the research methods, we have identified literature reviews, case studies, surveys, conceptual framework proposal and monitoring system development. In relation to the mapping and research networks, we highlight terms such as logistic, regulatory pressure, practice, driver, economic performance, institutional pressure, among other relevant terms. In this context, this information can “shed light” on interested parties and researchers on the subject in order to conceptualize, interpret and visualize their relevance, as well as the coverage networks and related researches.

AbstractSpin-off biotech companies often have difficulties in creating competitive advantage through protection of their intellectual property, due to their limited human and financial resources. Having considered the value of the intellectual property and questions of enforceability, spin-off companies should use patenting only for inventions with a high market value and high patent enforceability; otherwise, publishing early or keeping the invention a trade secret should be preferred. This allows the inventor to benefit from operational freedom while maintaining low costs. The impact of the protected intellectual property on the success of the firm depends on its speed of entry into the market and when it reaches break-even point. In a transition country with a poorly developed entrepreneurial environment, patents may expire before the spin-off company has produced any profit from its expenditures on the protection of the intellectual property. It should also be remembered that their products may contain modules which are already protected by other inventors. Consequently, a strategically fundamental issue for the success of spin-off firms is the careful selection of the markets in which to operate, and the choice of the proper degree and method of intellectual property protection.

AbstractDrawing from a body of strategic management literature, we explore the approaches proposed by theory and available to business decision makers during crisis. We argue that there is no real theory of success of management during crisis but only broad principles that should be followed. In a certain sense, experience and intuition – what could be called soft skills – are as important as hardcore economics. Moreover, the metrics of measuring crisis and the impact of decisions during such circumstances are to be further explored and divided in a comprehensive taxonomy. Despite its popular use, crisis management is at the start of its development. The authors advance both an approach as well as a tool for supporting decisions during business crisis.

Strategic management is an approach to strategizing by public organizations or other entities that integrates strategy formulation and implementation, and typically includes strategic planning to formulate strategies, ways of implementing strategies, and continuous strategic learning. Strategic management can help public organizations or other entities achieve important goals and create public value. Strategy is what links capabilities and aspirations. Four broad types of strategists (as individuals, teams, organizations, and collaborations) in public administration exist: the reactor (low aspirations, low capabilities), the dreamer (high aspirations, low capabilities), the underachiever (low aspirations, high capabilities) and the savvy strategist (high aspirations, high capabilities). There are eight approaches to strategic planning. More comprehensive process approaches include those influenced by the Harvard Policy Model, logical incrementalism, and stakeholder management. More partial process approaches include strategic negotiations, strategic issues management, and strategic planning as a framework for innovation. Finally, two content approaches also exist, namely, portfolio and competitive forces analyses. Seven approaches to strategic management systems can be discerned. These include: the integrated units of management approach (or layered or stacked units of management), strategic issues management approach, contract approach, collaboration approach (including the lead organization, shared governance, and network administrative organization approaches), portfolio management approach, goal or benchmark approach, and hybrid approaches. Strategic planning and management are approaches to identifying and addressing challenges. Neither is a single invariant thing but is instead a set of concepts, processes, procedures, tools, techniques, and practices (and structures in the case of strategic management systems) that must be drawn on selectively and adapted thoughtfully and strategically to specific contexts if they are to help produce desirable results. While there are a variety of generic approaches to both, the boundaries among them are not necessarily clear, and strategic planning and management in practice are typically hybridic. Research is accumulating about which approaches to strategic planning and management work under which circumstances, how, and why, but much work remains to be done.

This article reviews the approaches of strategic management and planning of activities of economic entities. The necessity of strategic management for achieving economic results of state management entities at all levels from the state to the enterprise and individual strategic units is substantiated. It is seen that for each subject of state management has its own goals and objectives, so the choice of models of strategic planning vary. The basic models are: a model for assessing "strategic gap" and its size; a model for analyzing the impact of market advantages; a model for creating competitive advantages of the product and the company itself; a model for creating a positive image; a model for planning, based on the size of the company. The evaluation indicators of basic models of strategic planning, most of which are: profit, profitability level. It is established that the efficiency of work of the state management subjects depends on the term of activity of the enterprise, and on its production potential. If the enterprise has a small size and term of work, then it uses the model of planning and achieves an increase in the main economic indicators. If the company is larger in size and has a long production experience, a lot of models can be used in strategic planning. Particular attention in conditions of fierce competition is given to the models of creating competitive advantages and positive image. These models of strategic planning are indispensable for maintaining market positions today. The results of their application are adoption of strategic managerial decisions concerning differentiation and diversification of production, steps for creation of positive image, development of social programs, improvement of partner relations with all market operators, branding. The key aspects of the effectiveness of using models of strategic planning and tensions of implementation of strategic management. As a result, it was found that most of the results are aimed at increasing profitability of economic entities, creating new or expanding the existing segments of the market. The importance of creation of competitive advantages as a constituent part of positive image of the enterprise and attraction of investments into business development was substantiated.
