Strategy is complicated because it has to adapt to different aspects that changing overtime, to obtain best goals and success for organizations. So strategy should be "flexible"and it has to be well thought and well managed.

  2. Strategy is complicated because the enviroment changes very often and many organizations have to change frequently their organizational structure and their strategies to survive and achieve their goals. Many times it's difficult to change strategy because of many factors that involve the firm so that's why it is so complicated.

  3. The strategy is complicated because it has to pass a lot of stages. It is like life, we have to take every step of ours into cosideration in order to have good results in the end. Strategy should always know "where is it" in order get to "where is it going", always has to be open to changes on the way and be sustainable enough for survival and growth.

  4. Create a strategy is complicated because:
    - you have to have the ability to think about the present and the future at the same.
    - you have to know how to take the best way for you or your company in front of a very good variety.
    - you have to be clear in the mind where you want to go, why to choose a strategy might be just apparently the right thing but then could be a failure (and failure is never easy to accept).
    -you have to consider the changing of the environmental aspects around you or your firm.

    In short, create a strategy is difficult because you have to think about many aspects, and it could be easy to miss one.

  8. If to make a strategy would have been easy, nowadays all the companies wouldn't have faced so many problems. It's all about to find a good strategy, the right one. In order to do that, the managers should think about the present and the future of the firm simultaneously, being perfectly aware of where they are, where they wanna go, and how to get there. They also have to remember to be as close as possible to the external environment and to make their firms be flexible and suitable to all the continuos changes that characterize our frenetic world.

  11. Strategy is something really complex because it has to be adapted and shaped taking into account every aspect which is directly or indirectly linked to the company. It involves not only the actual company’s position but also its objectives, vision, future goals, strengths, weaknesses and so on.
    In a certain way a good strategy should be able to foresee the future,not only its own future but that of the “macro-environment”; this objective is definitely not easy to be achieved.

  12. Strategy is complicated because it implicates a costant flexibility to change and, in the meantime, a solid base to build the business on. In appointing strategies, managers need to consider a huge number of factors, external as internal ones, present as future ones, uncertain as estalished ones.Strategy is complicated because there's need to have a clear vision of where you are, where you are aiming to get, and how you are going to reach the goal, in businesses as in daily life.

  13. Strategy is a method of company to achieve a goals. Different of company have a own strategy to achieve their goals but the environment or different element will effect a company what achieve their target. Therefore, the company have to maintain a good strategy or change a strategy in order to achieve a goals.

  14. Strategy is complicated because of its own nature and its own definition. It is hard defining the best way to achieve the scope of an organization moving it in the right direction in the long term, and at the same time meeting up with the stakeholders' expectations. But strategy is not only complex when it is about organizations or economics, but also in life. Each person finds hard to find out the "how" to get from where they are to where they want to be.

  15. Strategy is complicated because it requires contemporarily the ability to both look forward and coordinate all the parts the organization to reach the same goal, doesn't matter the size of the company. All of this in an external and internal environment that changes and develops incessantly.

  16. Strategy is complicated because in developing a strategy an organization should deal with different factors: the resources and competences necessary to achieve the aims, competiveness and differentiation, expectations of all the stakeholders, long-term view, the uncertainty about the future, relationship with the environment and its continuous changes.

  17. strategy is complicated because, each company has her own way of working, different products that been made, a big competition in the market (even if they don't produce the same products and the competition is low) and in the end. in the end, strategy is a program that was created in order to preform tasks. if one of the phases is not successful there is need in replacement, that also need to be planned from the beginning.

  18. Strategy is complicated mainly because it is very hard to reach something you are looking for the future while you do not have a clear road to follow in front of you. External environment changes so often that is almost impossible for a companies to achieve their objective with the first strategy they elaborated. Each business entity must have the ability to stay focused on what it's happening in the presen and at the same time thinking constantly to the future and how the future it is going to change.

  23. Strategy is complicated because it's something which an owner or partner have to sit down and think through it how to make their vision a reality.A business without a strategy cannot stay long,it takes a huge lot of thinking and reasoning be able to come out with a good strategy that can help a company achieve its goals. Though it's could be difficult but having a determination in making a good strategy will make your vision a reality

  24. Having a winning strategy is the most challenging goal for every azienda. An economic entity must take on account an huge number of external (macro-environment, competitors, development of new technologies, etc...) and internal (stakeholder's expectations) aspects. And the difficult part is to reach a strategy valid for the long-term, able to resist to the continuous changes of the market. The choice of a specific strategy instead of another will always represent a risk for the manager of a firm.

  25. 1)The main difficulty in strategy is that you have to keep in mind lots of changing factors when you plan it (where you are and where you want to get). Another difficulty is to adapt the structure of an organization at the different phases of the strategy, thus the structure of an organization has to be flexible

  26. Strategy is difficult mainly because in a changing environment you can never know what the future will be.
    It is also difficult because there is not a right answer, every decision you take will have positive and negative impacts on the firm.
    In order to establish a good (or at least decent) strategy you should look at the past to learn, at the present to practise and at the future with both hope and fear

  29. Strategy is complicated because it involves a lot of difficult decisions. In fact when you want to make a good strategy, you have to think about the future of the business but at the same time you can not forget the present. Moreover, you have to decide where you want to see the business in the future and find all the resources that will allow you to achieve your objectvives.
    Besides, you can not forget the external environment, that constantly changes, so you have to be ready to change with it.

  30. Complexity is probably what better characterises strategy. When you set a strategy there are many variables, and some of them are not controllable: the discovery of new technologies, a sudden and unexplainable shift in customers preferences and so on. These factors can undermine strategy. Moreover strategy also deals with complex decisions, different from the day-by-day routine, and many managers could not be prepared for facing these kinds of problems. Finally, I think strategy is complicated because deals with the hard question: “how can we use our resources and competences in the best way possible to satisfy customers, creating value for all the stakeholders and the firm at the same time?”.

  31. strategy is complicated because you have to be familiar with all the sections of the company and to know all the steps of your production process from the beginning until the final product. so it complicated to took all this and putt it in one strategy that will fits all.

  34. Strategy is very complicated because it depends on various factors equally complex and variable . The ability to adapt to market changes , to new situations and new scenarios makes it very complicated to build a winning strategy . So strategy is very complex, because it involves many internal and external aspects to the company not predictable or analyzed .

  35. What makes strategy complex is mainly the environment that sorrounds it, due to the fact that the environment is inclined to change giving instability to the strategy of a company. No one could predict future events and future changes in customers' preferences. Moreover even with the best strategy as possible it is hard to overview the whole organization without loosing a piece of it, considering the fact that the business has to face internal factors as well as external factors that could not depend by the business itself and so they could result difficult to predict and manage.

  36. Strategy is complicated because while we are developing it, the entire firm may encounter or incur in different factors such as environmental conditions change, the different demands of the market, the scarcity of resources and competences necessary to achieve the aims. Everything is in constantly changing and this is what makes strategy very complicated.

  37. Strategy is complicated because managers, in order to achieve it as well as possible satisfying stakeholders' expectations,should consider different factors, internal and external, such as resources and competences of the organization itself or the competitive position of the firm and they do it in a changing environment,which gives uncertainties to the organization and makes difficult the creation of a good strategy.

  38. We have two types of strategies: short-term and long-term. The first ones are easy to frame,because there are few risks in predicting something in brief span of time. Otherwise I would say about lo-term strategies.
    We begin from a starting point, then there are series of decisions that we need to make in order to reach our goal. The part in the middle is the complicated one. It is necessary to be precise, because all these decisions would be unique to achieve a particular goal at a particular point in time and these decisions are taken in a series.

  39. Strategy is complicated because it involves many decisions implemented through the consideration of a large number of variable internal and external factors. These decisions must be valid and effective for the long-term efficiency of an azienda. They concern: the mission and aims of the azienda, competitiveness, development of new products that can meet new needs ...

  40. According to its own nature and its definition strategy is and will be always complicated. As for life, no one will be perfect on earth, the same is for strategy, there will not be a perfect strategy, there will be a successful strategy. Is complicated because is about the future, the long term of the organization and it is impossible to predict it. It is complicated for the continuous changing environment. The complex role of strategy is to search day by day the right “direction” from where we are to where are we going to go and mainly how to get there.

  42. To set a strategy is very complex because managers have to consider the long-term direction of the organization, a changing environment, the market's need and many other doubtful factors during their decision-making process. Strategy is related to a uncertain future, that's why it is very difficult to take decisions that will affect the future of your business.

  43. Strategy is complicated because when you design it, you first have to know who you are (mission) but also where you want to go (vision), to implement it you have to choose the right structure and moreover you have to think of the changing environment in which the "Azienda" is involved. Strategy is the path to follow to reach your objective and because of this it requires to be well designed and implemented otherwise the organization is doomed to failure.

  44. Strategy is complicated because it involves different factors and so many decisions. Its complexity depends also on the changing environment and uncertain situations. In order to establish a good strategy you have to think of the long-term of an organization,thinking of the future,in terms of where you want to arrive with your firm,but also not forgetting the present(where you are now)

  45. Strategy is complicated especially on startup businesses, because it has to considered a lot of thing which are crucial to the business growth, image and for profit purposes too. Furthermore, at setting strategies, the entrepreneur has to consider the time(short and long term) and also the results(many trials and errors have to be done).

  46. Strategy is complicated because it depends on many factors and decisions that the firm as a whole, decides to undertake. One of these factors are possible abrupt changes the environment (or market) can be subject to, and the firm must respond quickly to this change. Also strategy is complicated because of its uncertainty, because, of course nobody can be sure about the future of the organization, but it's very important to have an idea, since strategy is all about the long-term direction of an organization.

  47. Starting from its definition we can understand how much is complicated a business strategy. The strategy has to be in charge of a lot of different things: it must be flexible in order to be adaptable to changing environment, it should set the long-term direction and the scope of the firm, exploiting its capabilities.

  48. Strategy is complicated because it means that there should be a great attention on the environment ,on the customers' needs and also the one of the employees itself, because they constantly changing.
    It' s importante that the organization decides to change her strategy in the right moment

  49. Strategy is complicated simply because there are many aspects that have to be considered at the same time while a relatively short period of time to elaborate it is available. you have to know exactly where you want to get and how to get there, considering all the variables that might not let you get there and accomplish what you want. you have to consider the environmental changing that your firm might face throughout the time and it's much harder than it seams.

  50. Given the fact that an azienda is an open system we can affirm that it has to adapt itself (and its strategy) to the continuously changing environment. In addition, to carry out a good strategy an azienda has to have the ability to determine in what position of the market it is and where it wants to get. But the how to get there is the hard part, because there are many factors (internal and external to the azienda) that could interfere with the success of the strategy.

  51. Choosing an appropriate strategy is one of the most difficult thing to do but is the one that leads your company to the success. Managers have to take in consideration a lot of variables and for this reason strategy is very complex. The environment around us is constantly changing and so managers have to choose the right strategy today that will be the right strategy even tomorrow.

  53. Developing a strategy is not that easy as it seems. It means that the company need to develop a complex and smart road map that will lead to have competitive advantage in the market. in fact strategy is complex, where the company needs to point out the strengths the weaknesses of the environment, try to analyze the environment itself in order to understand which direction is likely to be the best one.

  54. Strategy is a very complicated task that managers have to face during their day-to-day operations and activities. It is difficult to establish and pursue a successfull strategy because it involves decisions, that must be taken in the present, that will certainly affect the future of the azienda, which is constantly threathened by the changing enviroment in which the azienda operates.

  55. It is complicated, cause strategy requires so much dedication and attention from managers because it is the main tool that allow a company to get where it wants to be from where it is , it is the direction and the scope and it has to satisfy stakeholders expectations ,so if it does not bring to a good result, it is a useless strategy. It is complicated because ,it has to be applied in a situation of uncertainty ,it affects operational decision, requires an integrated approach and involve considerable changes.

  56. Strategy involves a whole business working as one single entity, aiming to achieve a long term goal. How to get there is the problem. Usually, strategy involves 5 or more years, and in that period, a business entity has to make sure that no matter what happens, the goal should be achieved. First problem, we have the unpredictability of the market(eg. New competitors, economic downturn, etc) as an external force. Secondly, we have the internal force of primary interest of the business having conflict with the secondary interest of the worker. The secondary interest may be corruption, nepotism, etc. A strategic manager has to be aware that these issues can happen, and the external ones being out of his control. Aligning the business to best handle potentially problematic situations involving the controllable and uncontrollable that can happen in the path to a long term goal is what makes strategy complicated.

  57. The complexity of the strategy is given by several factors. First of all we can define strategy as the long-term direction of a company, which means that it has to be efficient over the years and fit with an always changing structure of the company depending on the impact it has on the market. Secondly, given the fact that strategy is strictly related with the overall scope of an Azienda, it necessarily has to line up with the external environment in which it operates and that strongly affects the results of the Azienda itself. Last, the uncertainty that characterizes most of the decisions taken about the strategy, which can be judged as effective or not just in the future, after they have given the results.

  58. According to its own nature, strategy must be complex. Probably, the main reason is that each company operates in a canging environment, so every decision taken is based on unpredictable future changes. These decisions, related to strategy, should always be the best for the present as well as for the future, and we know that it's really difficult to predict what could happen tomorrow and it's even more difficult when we have to imagine what will happen in a year.

  59. It is complicated because it has no specific rules, apart from the fact that it is about ‘where you are’, ‘where you want to be’ and ‘how you are going to be there’.
    Strategy depends on everything: on the company, on what is offers, on how you want to offer it, on how you want to produce the good or service etc. etc.. They are all different, it is difficult that there are two companies with the same strategy.
    Another thing that makes it complicated is that it can change in time, sometimes things can happen and can influence your company, by influencing it you maybe have to change your strategy.
    So strategy is also about predicting things that can potentially happen in the future and already avoid them.

  60. Strategy is complicated because first of all, a strategy is a method or plan to bring about a desired future, such as an achievement of a goal or solution to a problem. Nobody can read the future this is why strategy is very complicated. Thus, the future can be anticipated in some ways but not completely, this is why in the creating of a strategy one should study all the factors surrounding the main purpose why you do things.

  61. The main difficulty in formulating the best strategy for your company is that the manager has to keep in mind at the same time the necessity of the present and of course the goals that the company wants to achieve in the future. The very important thing to well start thinking about company's strategy is analyse the strategic position of the organization and so all the external and internal factors that can affect it. The very challenging part is to achieve a strong long-term strategy that, thanks also to the flexible organizational structure, can properly resist to the changes in the market.

  62. In my opinion strategy is one of the most difficult step in order to create a successful business. Every day managers have to take very important decisions to guarantee the business' success. Sometimes a manager's decision is not shared by other managers, for this reason he has to find the best way to skip the misunderstanding to maintain the firm's stability. Moreover, strategy is difficult because when the environment or the market change, managers must be ready to change their day-to-day decisions to overcome the change, because managers' decisions are not only about present, but they are also about future.

  63. The elements that bring the complexity to the strategy,firstly, are linked to the uncertainty of the external environment,that changes continuously,together with the will of customers and their need. The future is unclear for everybody. Strategy is problematic also for the wide range of products and service in the industry,for the new entrants,for substitute products (or service). In the strategic decisions, the three levels of strategy (corporate level,business level,operational level) have to be in line with the overall strategy,otherwise the scope of the organization has no to be reach. Managers have to remember that all the stakeholders must be taken in consideration during the choice of the direction of an azienda,because the strategy aims to fulfill their expectations. Day by day the firm takes actions,using networks and relationships with suppliers, distributors, customers, through its competences and resources, to make better choices for the present and for the future of the azienda. Outcome of these speech is that the strategy is the most difficult phase in the work of managers to create,to extend,to enhance a business, that could become successful also in a changing environment but only in the case in which all managers want to achieve same goals,strategic advantage is achieved in the operational level and all the elements that can affect the strategy are considered in everyday choices.

  65. Strategy is complicated it involves several factors. It is also difficult defines all these factors in order to find a strategy that covers all the aspects of the organization. The enviroment changes very often and many organizations have to change frequently their organizational structure and their strategies in order to survive and to achieve their scopes.

  66. Strategy is difficult to establish because it has to incorporate various elements. Entrepreneurs often think in the short term while a strategy requires a long term view. You cannot think only about yourself but act in a system of competitors aiming to an advantage. Entrepreneurs also usually fail to realize the amount of capability they have and they need. There is not one boss or one shareholder or in general one stakeholder to satisfy so this brings often to conflict among stakeholders. Because of these reasons, we can define strategy complex.

  69. Strategy is the direction and scope of an organization over the long term. Complexity is a defining feature of strategy because it works in a changing environment and none can be sure about the future, so the strategy has to be as flexible as the changes come. Strategy is complicated especially in organizations with wide geographical scope. Moreover, for an effective strategy the operational aspects have to be in line with it and is required integration between managers and employees.

  72. Strategy is complicated, because we don't know what the future has to offer us, we can only try to predict it, setting a target. Not always the direction that we take enables us to reach our goals, because there is a lot of factors that affect the outcome of our strategy.

  73. Strategy is complicated because to actually work, it has to take in consideration a huge number of factors. Strategy is the way you plan to act in order to achieve your goal, and you have to do this in an uncertain environment that can never be predicted with absolute certainty, so it is complicated to know what to analyze and what to base your strategy on. It is also difficult to link strategy with time, because if your goal is in the long term your strategy needs to take in consideration every risk that could arise in that amount of time, and I think this makes strategy even more complicated.

  74. strategy must lead the direction organization over the long term. it will underline the scope of the firm. because is about future, it is likely to be complex, made in situation of uncertainty, and it must be flexible to changes, whenever the environment requires it. this is why strategic decisions are so important and complicated at the same time.

  75. To define strategy is probably the hardest and most important matter to handle in every venture. It states HOW we are going to achieve the goal or objective that we set when we started. The strategy must be able to adapt to every situation it may happen, and it could be even changed throughout the life of the venture.

  77. Strategy it is important and difficult at the same time for the same reasons.
    Strategy is the direction, the scope of organizations over the long term, which achieves advantages for the organization over competion through its configuration of resources. It helps organisations understand their core capabilities, identify and address weaknesses and mitigate risks.
    It is important to understand what is taking place within the external environment. With the rate of change becoming faster every year, it’s important that we understand what trends are going to impact on our business and our industry, and how we’re going to respond to them.
    All organisations and their staff need to understand their purpose, their destination and the course they’re taking to get there. Providing an organisation with a common purpose, goals and a set of actions to reach the goal ensures that everyone is working for the same outcome.

  78. strategy is the key for the success of the business.strategy is complicated because the business environment changes and the managers should change themselves according to the strategy made and they should face the changing situations and their decisions should be changed according to the changes that are made in business market and also in strategy.

  79. Strategy is of course complex, because managers that set the goals to reach in the future, must also be aware and ready to react in the best way to the possible enviromental changes that could affect the path towards the scope. That's why the strategic decisions involve considerable changes, and even the evaluation of the expectations of the stakeholders that must be fulfilled.

  80. The strategy of a company is the most difficult thing in an organization because the company should be great,producing great products and services but without a good strategy it will not create a gross profit.
    The strategy is difficult because the environment changes constantly, competitors create always new products and services to satisfy human needs and a great company has to find the strategy advantage to exceed them.
    Finally we can judge it difficult because there is a high degree of uncertainty, we don't know if the strategy will run or not.

  81. strategy is complicated because you need to examine all cases of facing the future. There are a lot of cases to be examined, such as geographical factors, environmental factors, political factors and some of them are very difficult to predict

  82. There are so many companies out there nowadays and for that reason there is a lot of competence among them and a lot of pressure on the managers and employees in their attempt to be the best at what they do. Consequently, every company has to come up with a good strategy that would make them stand out among other companies and at the same time help them survive in the market on the long-term. Doing such a thing and creating such strategies is really difficult when we consider the above-mentioned facts. Also, considering the fact that a strategy is a scope of the organization in the long-term it is almost impossible to predict the future knowing that a lot of factors change over time and adapting to them might be difficult.

  83. How stated by Henry Mintzberg, strategy represents a “pattern in a stream of decisions”. In my opinion this phrase better gives an idea of how easily a wrong decision can get you off the track and how complex the actual pattern could be. Strategy takes into account numerous factors, including both the short and the long-term scope, the internal and the external opportunities or threats of the business environment and the consideration of all the stakeholders. I believe that what most of all renders strategy so complicated are the unpredictable situations of uncertainty with which a firm has to deal with.

  84. Strategies are complicated because of the variety of the market and of the possibility that a firm could front. It's difficult and in some ways dangerous to take a decision when we are talking about an organization because we are talking about a "body" and thou also about all its "organs", as the stakeholders, that are part of it. Strategies means getting advantages over competition and this is strongly linked with the observation of the others. Strategies means innovation and growth but those attributes has, at the same time, to be reached taking in consideration the long-term view and respecting and caring out the fundamental principles of the mission of the firm.

  85. Making up a strategy is complicated because the entrepreneur has to deal with lots of factors. The kind of business he/ her is running, the external environment, the kind of market, the goal the business wants to achieve etc etc.. Strategy is fundamental and the responsibility is high so decisions have to be made with caution.

  86. Strategy is complicated for definition. Considering all the aspects of a firm that a strategy has to consider (market, Organizational structure, present situation, future outlook, Stakeholders' expectation...), it doesn't surprise that is so complicated, and is also the reason why it is not always effective.

  89. To create a strategy that will not only provide surviving but also be beneficial for the company over the long term requires well-understanding of the market as well as of the change in people behaviour (not only for customers but also for personnel), ability to foresee the future competitors' decisions,evaluate risks,ups and downs (not only for your business but in the market as well),etc. Forming a strategy necessitates open-minded personality,intelligence,experience,achievements,vision and adaptability. Such prerequisites give answer to why strategy is complicated.

  90. Strategy can be complicated since it is difficult to create an adaptable direction for the long term goals of an organization that can vary depending on the ever-changing circumstances. Creation of strategy is very complex as it requires the strategists/directors of the organization to set goals considering all the possible outcomes for the firm, while ensuring that those strategies are adaptable in case of any fluctuations in the firm’s environment. It is essentially a gamble in which a certain direction is taken that can result in either success or failure of the organization.

  95. Strategy is difficult because to define a strategy many variables have to be taken into the consideration and most of them are not constant, but change in time. Strategy has to adapt to the structure, but also to changes that can be for example environmental or technological. To set the strategy it is important to be tactically and operationally feasible in different (geographic and competitive) environments.

  97. Organizations operate in a dynamic environment, where changes are fast and unpredictable. There are internal and external factors that can affect the performance and the ability to achieve organization’s goals. Making strategic decisions is not an easy task for any organizations. Many factors and steps have to be taken into consideration. For instance, the responsible managers must have the skills and knowledge to make effective strategic choices for the organization. They must consider stakeholders’ interests, needs, and preferences as well. The decisions that they make will affect the entire direction of the organization, so the decisions must be for long-term. Therefore, strategy is complicated.
