The current Venezuelan economic reality has led the country's business system to times of crisis with decadence in the areas of production, purchasing, storage, sales and marketing, which makes it necessary for them to be prepared for continuous changes, with elasticity in their functions and structure, aimed at enriching management skills and leading the organization to a comprehensive administration and consolidate the competitiveness of the company with the knowledge, skills and application of more effective methods.

It should be noted that the economic consequences that the business system is going through have caused countless companies to close their doors, not only because of the constant increase in prices, but also because they do not have management strategies that would allow them to mitigate this situation; however, some companies have sought ways and plans to counteract the adverse effects on business success.

Despite this, other companies continue to struggle with the lack of knowledge of alternatives to weaken the reality and are projected to decline in a short time in the competitive market.

Therefore according to Figueroa (2004) defines strategic direction as "a process of continuous and systematic movement that provides better guidance to the entire organization on the crux of what it wants to achieve, making managers more alert to the winds of change, new opportunities and threatening developments, providing ideas for evaluating budget requests, capital investment and new personnel, allocating resources in areas that produce results and support strategy, helping to unify the many strategy-related decisions throughout the organization, creating a more proactive management attitude and thereby counteracting tendencies toward reactive and defensive decisions.".

Therefore, strategic management is made up of a series of decisions and actions aimed at planning, formulating and implementing specific strategies that will allow the organization to adjust to its environment in a superior competitive manner, and thus achieve the established objectives and goals.

Hello @dgalan, I have gone through this situation before of establishing organizational strategies to achieve productive goals in the short and medium term, as well as to correct certain deviations in production, and on these occasions I faced resistance from certain sectors of the organization to follow and adopt new guidelines because they feel deeply ingrained in "old styles" and comfort zones, this situation makes the job a little more difficult to manage.

Great topic.
