From the Paper:

"Strategic management and planning are vitally important components in any business. According to Tone Cesnovar (2006), strategic management and planning focus on a response to challenges directly from the environment. The author distinguishes between two approaches to such management. The business owner can for example implement strategic planning by means of a conscious, controlled, formal processes and management techniques, or more informal processes such as those based upon the manager's experiences, intuition, vision and emotions. Cesnovar refers to the latter as "strategy-as-practice". These strategies are more appropriate for the small, online business environment. Informal methods of management are also faster, more flexible, and convenient in such an environment, particularly if the type of business involved is taken into account."
