INTROUDUCTION
Strategic planning is a procedure of developing suitable documentation and providing
direction for small business. Moreover, strategic plans offers an effective place in terms of
recording mission, vision, values and also helps in achieving long term goals and taking effective
actions. Instead of prominent benefits of making effective strategic plans, it leads to grow small
business and also focus on developing long term strategies for the business (Lasserre, 2017).
Along with this, in order to survive at the international level it is important to have proper
planning in strategic way which is useful in surviving for the longer period of time in dynamic
business environment. Effective planning is important for the large organisations who run their
business at global level and need effective analysis in order to survive within the dynamic
business environment and also leads to reduce risk factor (Channon and Jalland, 2016).
Moreover, the cross border businesses among various countries leads to increase strong
relationship among organisations as it is beginning to emerge. In order to carry forward this
report Marks and Spencer is considered which is a British multinational company headquarter in
London, England. Company deals in selling clothing, home products and food products by
attaching their own label. Currently, company is facing problem in running and expansion of its
new business in UK as well because of dynamic requirements and preferences. The report is
going to cover the effective analysis of planning and execution of inter-organisational strategies
and also analyse the theories and methods of strategy formulation. Furthermore, it evaluate the
role and influences the strategic intelligence and also understand the influence of cultural
differences which is based on research.
TASK 1
Evaluate the restraints and constraints on the integration of inter-organisational strategy
The prominent theory of constraints in the management paradigm include the views that
are manageable system which is limited in terms of achieving prominent goals and other
constraints. In addition to this, restraints become the barriers in global strategies meanwhile
constraints helps in achieving effective goals and objectives by following effective system. By
considering the prominent survey, it is identified that the requirements of customers get changes
according to the trends and for this, it is is effective for company to conduct environmental
analysis which is useful in running and operating company more effectively (Adekola and Sergi,
