Strategic planning is a management tool used by business entities to carry out business in a more efficient way by focusing on achieving the objectives required by the shareholders. Strategic planning also aims to develop clear goals and objectives and achieve them as well as achieve the desired future state within a specified time period and within possible human and financial resources. This planning is summed up in outlined goals that comprise the strategy.
The Business Plan represents the detailed components of investments and operations. It is required to achieve specific goals that have been pre-determined in the strategic plan by providing the human and material means required for this purpose.
The strategy and business plan are both working to guide the company to success. The strategy represents the trend while the business plan represents the translation of such trends into measurable numbers.
The concept mentioned above is applied to business entities on an optional basis.
However, companies under the supervision of the Capital Markets Authority in Kuwait should comply with the Executive Bylaws of Law no.
