evolutionary & largely sensitive so according to this an organization strategy cant be for long term objectives & it misfit the organization mission. Strategic assets are both situation & time bound & they are appropriate for situation & time when they are used. The formation of proximate objectives is a central phenomenon in the strategy process. Strategy is to be considered as a dynamic short term oriented situational assembly. Strategy is used for short term because in long term there is higher probability of variations i.e. increased uncertainty & level of ignorance can result in failure. Firms can be successful if they identify, support, rearrange & use strategic assets in response to opportunities.
