...which should portray an image of what the business wants to create or become, not what the company is now. Whilst similar business types might have similar mission statements, vision statements should be very different. An example for a business intelligence company would be ‘Be the leading independent consultative business intelligence practice in the UK’. The strategic mission part of the strategic plan should describe what the business does, not be too long and be easy to remember, an example for a business intelligence company would be ‘Provide businesses with exceptional answers to critical questions through data insight’. Goals are statements about the future of the business and represent the aspirations for it, they are similar to objectives but not all goals can be measured. An example would be to maintain partnerships with leading software vendors to ensure that the business stays on the leading edge of technological advances (Technological goal). Strategic objectives help translate organisational missions and visions into a more specific plan. They can be long-term, medium-term or short-term and must be measurable to gauge the success or failure of the execution of the plan. Examples of objectives for a business intelligence company would be - Have 40 consultants employed with and have 75% utilisation of their time within 3 years - Increase turnover to £10m within 5 years (Important business objectives, Small business Chronicle, 2015) Core competencies are...

...Introduction and Problem Identification The paper is based on the review of Business Database Company (BDC). BDC is a company that specalises in the creation of large database and the formulation of these data into report that are sold to business organisation and consultancies. The company operates a bureaucratic organisational structure. As explained by T. Burns and G. M stalker, 1961: Bureaucracies which was also referred to as mechanistic system of running an organisation, “…defines his function together with the methods, responsibilities, and powers appropriate to them; in other words, however, this means that boundaries are set.” This implies that procedures and protocols are being followed to get things done. Due to the increasing rate in the technology advancement and the employment of the new graduates, the new sales manager wants to embraces a more flexible and informal system which according to T. Burns and G.M stalker, 1961 can be referred to as the “organic system” in which an individual regards his/herself as fully responsible for the execution of a particular task. At this point we will be analysing the problems facing the BDC as discussed below: The major problem with BDC is the bureaucracy system in place which is an administrative or management structure marked by hierarchical activities among numerous offices and by fixed procedures. It is a system in which the need to follow rigid or complex procedures impedes effective action. According to David and...
