#MyStraregyEvolution
The evolution of strategy represents the shift and growth of strategic thinking from its military foundations to its widespread use in modern business. Originally developed for warfare, where leaders like Sun Tzu in The Art of War (5th century BC) stressed tactics and careful planning, strategy later transitioned into corporate environments. Its early business applications centered around policy development and management frameworks, notably shaped by academic institutions such as Harvard Business School.
In business contexts, the idea of strategy evolved over time. Initially, the focus was on defining a company’s mission and vision, as well as analyzing potential future scenarios—moving beyond simple long-term goal setting. Eventually, this led to the formation of strategic management as a formal discipline, integrating planning, execution, and continuous assessment of organizational strategies. Today’s strategic approach in business prioritizes adaptability, efficient resource deployment, and maintaining a clear long-term direction amidst changing market conditions.
