2. E-Strategic Management: The Case Of Greece

The term strategy comes from the ancient Greek word “Stratighia” and describes military tactics and army organization (Lysons & Farrington, 2006). After the second world war the sciences of business and economics adopted strategy in order to present a plan, a technique, an element, a position or a perspective of an enterprise against market’s competition. A business strategy is analyzed in its vision, which presents a desirable future position and its mission, which defines the route towards the achievement of this position. The Critical Success Factors (CSFs) are elements that are necessary for the establishment of the strategic mission (Boynlon & Zmud, 1984).
