Enterprise strategy is an overall and guiding plan to set long-term goals and achieve them. It belongs to the category of macro-management, and has six main characteristics: guidance, overall situation, long-term, competitiveness and systematic risk.

I. Guidance

Enterprise strategy determines the business direction and long-term goal of the enterprise, stipulates the business policy and action guide of the enterprise, and plans the development track and guiding measures and countermeasures to realize the goal, which plays a guiding role in the business management activities of the enterprise.

Second, the overall situation

Enterprise strategy is based on the future. Through in-depth analysis of the international and domestic political, economic, cultural and industrial operating environment, combined with its own resources, and standing at the height of system management, it has made a comprehensive plan for the long-term development track of the enterprise.

Third, long-term.

"Today's efforts are for tomorrow's harvest", "Those who have no long-term worries will have near worries". Enterprise strategy gives consideration to short-term interests, focuses on long-term survival and development, establishes long-term goals, plans development trajectory and macro-management measures and countermeasures to achieve long-term goals. Secondly, around the long-term goal, the enterprise strategy must go through a continuous and long-term struggle process. In addition to making necessary adjustments according to market changes, the formulated strategy usually cannot be achieved overnight and has long-term stability. Fourth, competitiveness.

Competition is an unavoidable reality in the market economy, and it is precisely because of competition that the dominant position of "strategy" in management is established. Facing the competition, the enterprise strategy needs to analyze the internal and external environment, clarify its own resource advantages, form characteristic management by designing appropriate business models, enhance the antagonism and combat effectiveness of enterprises, and promote the long-term healthy development of enterprises.

At the same time, according to the organizational relationship, enterprise strategy needs to be composed of three levels: decision-making level strategy, institutional strategy and functional department strategy. The decision-making level strategy is the overall guiding strategy of the enterprise, which determines the strategic elements such as business policy, investment scale, business direction and long-term goals, and is the core of the strategy. The enterprise strategy explained in this book mainly belongs to the decision-making level strategy; The strategy of public institutions is a long-term plan for the survival and development of enterprises through independent accounting of business units or relatively independent business units, following the strategic guiding ideology of decision-makers, analyzing the competitive environment, focusing on markets and products; Functional department strategy refers to the overall planning of the long-term goals, resource allocation and other strategic support and guarantee systems of various functional departments of enterprises, such as planning department strategy and purchasing department strategy, in accordance with the strategic guiding ideology of decision-makers and the strategy of public institutions, focusing on division of labor and cooperation.

Any decision has risks, and strategic decision is no exception. In-depth market research, accurate industry development trend prediction, objective long-term goals, rational allocation of manpower, financial resources and material resources at various strategic stages, and scientific selection of strategic forms can guide the healthy and rapid development of enterprises. On the other hand, if we only judge the market subjectively, set too ideal goals or predict the development trend of the industry, the formulated strategy will lead to misleading management and even bring the risk of bankruptcy to enterprises.

The strategic management system of enterprise logistics includes three levels: overall logistics strategy, logistics competition strategy and logistics function strategy. To implement the overall logistics strategy of an enterprise, it must be decomposed into more specific and operable functional logistics strategies.

Therefore, the formulation of logistics function strategy is the primary task of logistics strategy implementation. Logistics functional strategy, that is, functional department strategy, is a short-term systematic planning of the direction, objectives, policies and guiding principles of various functional strategic activities in order to implement the overall logistics strategy and logistics competition strategy. It mainly includes R&D strategy, supply strategy, product strategy, marketing strategy, human resources strategy and financial strategy. Compared with the overall logistics strategy and logistics competition strategy of enterprises, logistics function strategy has the following characteristics. 1. Professionalism Because the division of enterprise logistics function strategy is based on specialized division of labor, the logistics function strategy has strong professionalism. This determines that the formulation of logistics function strategy must be carried out with the participation of relevant experts. 2. Affinity Because the logistics function strategy plays an auxiliary role in the overall logistics strategy and logistics competition strategy of the enterprise, it has the characteristics of locality and subordination, so it must be subordinate to the overall logistics strategy and logistics competition strategy of the enterprise. 3. The specific logistics function strategy is formulated for a certain logistics activity of the enterprise, so it is highly targeted. It is more clear and specific than the overall strategy of the enterprise, and it is a concrete explanation of the direction, objectives, principles, policies and strategies of various logistics activities of the enterprise.
