The “Concepts Related to the Strategic Management Approach” chapter introduces key documents used in the strategic management process and elaborates on the main elements of the strategic management approach.

In the following sections, the Toolkit explains step by step how to initiate and conduct the strategy development process. This includes preparatory work at the start, evaluation and analysis of the current situation, strategy development steps and methods, and the processes of implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the strategy.
