7th lecture: strategic implementation and consumer-centered strategy

Lecture 7 discusses quickly the organizational aspects (organizational structure design) of strategic management: strategy is formed somehow at the top of SBUs and within the corporate management bodies, so the configuration of an organization towards implementing a strategy becomes a complex task that involves much more constituents than any previous stage of the strategic management process.

But mainly, this Lecture focuses on the Delta Model strategic framework that: a) places the customer at the center of management, b) integrates strategy with execution through the concept of Adaptive Process.
