The Art of War for Managers, Attack by Stratagem

Strategy is planning process- the war on paper. It is doing the right thing and seeking victory before the battle.
Tactic is a contact process- the action of the war. It is doing things right and is the battle.
The best organizations develop win-win strategic initiatives. They do their planning (strategy) so well they are sure to win. When competitive forces are encountered, their implementation (tactics) is so good they win anyway.
