A manager is a leader also. Leadership in Agribusiness Strategy is essential to keep pace with the modern world.

The phase of Plan Making:

Corporate Mission > External > Internal > Select Methods > Execute

The method of organized strategic planning:

Choose the organizational mission and major corporate priorities.
Analyze the external competitive climate of the organization to recognize opportunities and risks.
Analyze the internal operating environment of the company to determine the strengths and limitations of the company.
To take advantage of external opportunities and address external challenges, pick strategies that draw on the strengths of the company, and correct its weaknesses. These methods should be aligned with the organization’s mission and main objectives. They should be coherent and a viable business model should be developed.

Targets:

They are reliable and measurable.
They solve critical problems. Managers can choose a small number of major objectives to measure the company’s success in order to retain concentration. The targets that are chosen should be critical or important.
They’re demanding but rational. They offer all workers an opportunity to search for ways to enhance an organization’s operations. In the difficulties it faces, if a target is ambitious, employees may give up; a target that is too simple may fail to inspire managers and other employees.
They define a time span in which, where necessary, the objectives should be accomplished.

Implementing Strategy:

Changing the method of designing a product,
Positioning the commodity on the market in a particular way,
Marketing segmentation and selling to various customer segments of various versions of the product,
Implementing increases or decreases in price,
Expanding by mergers and combinations
Acquisitions, or by shutting down or selling off parts of the business, downsizing the business.

In reality, occasionally strategy fails to resolve that:

We should consider the preparation of future uncertainty scenarios (formulating plans based on future “what-if” scenarios)
(Demographic considerations) Decentralized planning

When making decisions, why does the best-designed strategic planning method fail?

Cognitive biases (Systematic mistakes resulting from the way people interpret knowledge in human decision-making)

Prior hypothesis bias (A cognitive bias that arises when decision-makers that have strong prior convictions appear to make decisions on the basis of these convictions, even when faced with proof that their beliefs are wrong.)
Escalating commitment (A cognitive bias that arises when decision-makers commit even more resources after receiving feedback that the project is failing, having already committed substantial resources to a project)
Analogy Reasoning (Use of simple analogies to make sense of complex issues)
Representativeness (A prejudice rooted in the propensity of a small sample or even a single vivid anecdote to generalize)
Control distortion (A cognitive bias rooted in the propensity to overestimate one’s ability to control events.)
Availability error (A bias that results from our tendency to estimate the likelihood of an outcome based on how convenient it is to imagine the outcome.)
