Setting up a successful business and growing it to an international level is an uphill task for most entrepreneurs. It requires strategic management that can help the company take advantage of available opportunities while minimizing risks. The evolution of strategic management in a corporation occurs in four distinct stages Trigeorgis and Reuer (2017) note that companies go through auditing, development, implementation, and evaluation when implementing strategic management. These four steps define the evolution of strategic management. In the first step, the company performs research on itself and its industry or environment, which gives them a clear picture of where they are currently. After auditing, they begin developing effective strategies for their company based on the results of the audit. During development, companies can develop the strategy by themselves using a team of employees and management. Alternatively, they can outsource these services and ask a third party to develop a strategy based on the audit results and educate the company staff about them.
