Abstract
The development of a sound strategy is merely academic if not translated into the appropriate implemention tactics. It is accepted that tactics must follow a strategy, but at the same time the strategy must be established to enable the tactics to be deployed. It is therefore crucial that, in the creation and finalization of the strategy approach, due consideration is given to the question ‘How?’. Strategies not linked to practical implementation have little chance of success.
Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.
