PRESENTATION
Organizations in today's world increasingly seek to implement new strategies that allow
them to make better decisions based on the analysis of everything that surrounds them
and which provides a service or provides a product to society in order to meet needs.
In this report, it helps us to reach the goals set. You begin by defining the intermediate
goals, because you can not go directly to the final objectives, and as you reach these goals,
you expand until you reach that final vision, always keeping a control through indicators.
In addition, this report tells us that learning strategies are the set of activities, techniques
and means that are planned according to the needs of the population to which they are
directed, the objectives they pursue and the nature of the areas and courses, all this in
order to make the learning process more effective.
It is also important to study this topic as strategic planning is important for companies
because it combines commercial strengths with market opportunities and provides a
direction to meet the objectives. A strategic plan is a road map for a company.

I. INTRODUCTION
This report is about the subject of "Direction by objectives and self-control" of the book by
Peter F. Drucker, this topic is very important, since it will allow us to know which are the
guidelines that we have to take to be able to create our objectives that we want to reach,
either personally or for an organization, demanding us day by day, performing in the best
way considering that each day is one more goal to do things in the best way.
The following report will detail all the topics covered to be able to direct us towards our
objectives, because we are in a changing world, direction by objectives and self-control,
help us to develop as successful managers when working for an organization.
It is important to know about this topic, because without objectives or goals, our
organization will not last long.
The report will also explain to us about the problems that many managers have when they
have bad direction, since they only focus on the results and not on the long-term objectives.
In addition we will know the meaning of self-control, how we can set objectives
The objective of this report is to raise awareness of the issue of definition by objectives and
self-control, because thanks to this topic we will know the issues that affect the good
direction of a manager, by not setting goals, because today the world is so changing and
the competition is strong and thanks to the objectives we can make the best decisions to
always be the best, reaching objectives with high demand.

II. SYNTHESIS
The analysis of the strategy and the election seek to determine the alternative courses of
action that could allow the company to achieve its objectives
Alternative strategies do not leave the wild blue nature; they are derived from the vision,
mission, objectives, external audit and internal audit of the firm; They are consistent with,
or build, past strategies that have worked well.
The strategies must be determined. This section discusses the process that many
companies use to

doing and why and commit to help the company achieve its objectives

Matrix (QSPM). A QSPM uses input information from Stage 1 to objectively evaluate the
feasible alternative strategies identified in Stage 2. A QSPM reveals the relative
attractiveness of alternative strategies and therefore provides an objective basis for
selecting specific strategies.
The strategists themselves, not the analytical tools, are always responsible and responsible
for strategic decisions. Lenz emphasized that the change from a word-oriented to a
number-oriented one.
Objective information and analysis, personal biases, politics, emotions, personalities, and
halo error (the tendency to put too much weight on a single factor) unfortunately can play

2.4. Topic 4: THE ENTRY STAGE
Input tools require strategists to quantify subjectivity during the early stages of strategy
formulation processes. Making small decisions in input matrices with respect to the relative
importance of external and internal factors allows strategists more effectively
Generate and evaluate alternative strategies. Intuitive good judgment is always needed in
the determination of appropriate weights and qualifications.
Strategies so When a company has great weaknesses, it will strive to overcome them and
make them stronger. When an organization faces greater threats, it will seek to avoid them.
to focus on the opportunities.
ST strategies use the strengths of a company to avoid or reduce the impact of external
threats. This does not mean that a strong organization must always face threats in the
external environment
The SWOT matrix is composed of nine cells. As shown, there are four key factor cells, four
Strategy cells and a cell that is always left blank (the upper left cell). The four strategies
cells, labeled as SO, WO, ST and WT, develop after completing four key factor cells, labeled
as S, W, O and T

2.7. Topic 7 THE MATRIX OF EVALUATION OF STRATEGIC POSITION AND
ACTION (SPACE)
Aggressive, conservative, defensive or competitive strategies are the most appropriate for
a given organization. The axes of the SPACE matrix represent two internal dimensions.
When a particular company is known, the analyst must be more specific in terms of implicit
strategies. For example, instead of saying, penetration in the market is a recommendation.

strategies most often include penetration in the market, the market
The autonomous divisions (or profit centers) of an organization form what is called a
business portfolio. When the divisions of a company compete in different industries, a
strategy must often be developed for each business. The Boston Consulting Group
The BCG matrix graphically portrays the differences between divisions in terms of relative
position of market share and industry growth rate. The BCG Matrix allows a
multidivisional organization to manage its business portfolio by examining the relative
position of market share and the growth rate of the

The IE matrix is based on two key dimensions: the total weighted scores of the IFE in the
The x-axis and the total weighted scores of EFE on the y-axis. Recall that each division of
an organization must build an IFE matrix and an EFE matrix for its part of the organization.

III. CONCLUSIONS
- We reached the conclusion that the analysis of the strategy and the election seek to
determine the alternative courses of action that could allow the company to achieve its
objectives.
- We also conclude that SWOT is a simple model of analysis that companies use to evaluate
business potential and marketing decisions. The acronym means strengths, opportunities,
weaknesses and threats
- As a conclusion the learning strategies are the set of activities, techniques and means that
are planned according to the needs of the population to which they are directed, the
objectives they pursue and the nature of the areas and courses, all with the purpose of
make the learning process more effective.
