Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 5.50, , language: English, abstract: It has been stated that the field of strategic management is fragmented and lacks consistency and identity.

On the other hand, it is being criticized for a number of flaws, which include: promoting and imposing erroneous strategies, manipulation, lack of ethics, and so on. But whatever points of view to consider, I should say that without it organization as Spengler & Furst cannot function; namely, without strategic management, the current position of the company would not be real.
