Strategy is, by definition, a dynamic domain. A situation can be approached from multiple perspectives, and there is not always one sole solution to an issue faced by a company: numerous solutions may be possible, each having its own strengths, weaknesses, and efficiency. Thus, the diagnosis is just one element (among others) guiding the formation of a business strategy. This strategy aims to identify actions that, when implemented, will facilitate the resolution of actual problems. Finally, the decision-making process is the result of a discipline of mind, based on specific thinking processes and mechanisms.
