INTRODUCTION
Business strategies are the most integrated part of organization which requires some strategic
lenses and its evaluation into the entrepreneurship. The three business strategic lenses are
political cultural and strategic. All the three lenses have different approaches which could be
used in the organization (Anwar, Azis, M. and Ruma, 2019). This essay is going to conduct the
strategic lens. The purpose of the essay is to critically analyse the strategic lenses that an
organization could avail during business strategy. As these lenses and approaches are necessary
to form rational thinking of philosophy and make logical analysis and evaluation.
MAIN BODY
TASK
The business foundation has mainly three lenses that are political cultural and strategic Alliance.
this lens provide the prospective and forces that affect the business organisation. The
organisation things that they are working in two fruitful manners in their own perspective but
there are other external forces and lens that impact on their success. If put emphasis on political
lens belongs to the power and responsibility hold by individuals in order to get the work done.
The political term have to meaning but in organisational structure this is defined as a power
through which other employees and individuals get the training and orders. These powers are
mainly influence on organisation by choosing the individuals for promotion, taking everyone's
capabilities and potential, analyse the performance of individuals who give good decisions and
take initiative into organisational programs. Also, it analyse who are the true members of the
organisation in the tough times of company. So that it evaluate the need for powers at a multiple
department of Organisation in order to attempt change. Every individual holds a power into their
hand while walking into an organisation (Anwar, 2018). Along with this the cultural lens shows
the aspects of communication and relationship of under entrepreneurial culture. The members
and employees of organisation are belonging to different background and interest which holds
different believes norms and their cultural. Some believe may find Richard, flexible and
authentic. So that, the managers need to identify the company's culture before taking any

decision in regards to driving change into the organisation. No culture is wrong or diminishing it
only the projection that makes it in different and people does not fit with it.
The strategic lens evaluates the process which must be undertaken for the organisation to
develop the organisation model or structure in a effective way. For that instance, organisations
hire many engineers and process associate so that the goals could be achieve accordingly. This
process includes the environment, organisation, result. By assessing the environment, the
organisation will get to know about that side and opportunity in a well manner. And my
assessing the organisation the organisation will know the strength and weakness through the
internal analysis. The strategic decision emphasis on making the business practices as much as
effective that can suitable for the environment as well as for organisation fit. If the statistical
approach loses their concern of achieving goals, the environment main affect the success of
organisation. Mainly, many entrepreneurial Ventures insurance to work in a sustainable manner
and come up with an effective strategy that could be a best fit for organization. For example,
MIT matrix is an organisation that has academic departments and lab centre. This department
work separately and anonymously (Dayan, Ng, and Ndubisi, 2019). Their strategic plan involves
the discovery of experiments which will be suitable to provide learning to the students. Also so
they are fulfilling their target of gaining profit and attracting other students and faculty. The
process the meeting and linked through other committees and Society E in the form of reports
and accounting. These accounts include all the plan of organisation and the performance
measures within past and present results, the remuneration and promotion also included. The
strategic lens approach has a positive evaluation into economic inform strategy. The statistical
approach is rational, entrepreneur, political and combination. These approaches are suitable for
the schools of strategic thought which define the planning school and the Positioning,
entrepreneur comma cognitive and many more (Haggège, Gauthier, and Rüling, 2017). The
entrepreneurial school approach has significantly provided thoughts upon the judgement of
wisdom experience and insights. It shows that the leaders and managers of the organisation must
be flexible and emergent into their work as it is required to provide an effective guide and so that
this schooling will be more effective. Where is the cognitive School based on the patterns and
process of delivering information?

It evaluates the thinking and thoughts of the managers while processing any information.
It sees the strategy as a mental procedure that influence on the thinking and mindful concept. An
individual mind has some boundaries and limitations through which their thinking goes beyond.
Therefore it has critically evaluated that only the idea of strategic decision is not enough to
engage the right people into right work. As every leader and manager has their different method
and approach to provide wide and ascertain the skill and potential of the individual. Therefore
coma it shows then analysis of understanding that has the right potential and power to rebuild the
organisation structure effectively. There are many large entrepreneur adventure such as Amazon
Tesco Unilever and many more (Kohler, and Nickel, 2017). These organisations cover the large
area of world and face many e ups and downs in organisational culture. But the one thing is
constant are their strategic decisions which are in the hands of only potential managers. So that it
is true that the strategic plans are important and rational in order to achieve the organisational
goal. Therefore, the negative impact of the strategic lens are they could not provide much longer
time to be potential and effective in working as the organisations working into dynamic
environment which require prompt decisions and with solutions of customer problem. So that,
the much risk care and unproductive the environment will be, the more frequent and effective
decisions are required in order to accomplish the statistical target. The approach of strategic
plans are always surrounded with many external factors that could influence on its success for
that first it is necessary to act according to the situations of environment and political concerns
that could deliberately impact on strategic decisions and lead it to downward growth.
The strategic lenses are firmly made for providing business success in a fruitful manner.
Many entrepreneurial ventures are undertaking high growth and superficial brand name into the
market. It has truly said that the strategies are the essence of organisation which maintains the
workflow and coordination into organisational structure. Therefore, the structure and processes
are play important role entrepreneurial Ventures which define how the work should be done,
how it relates from past performance and maintain the most essential key performance indicators
so that the decisions will be innovative and effective (Lederer, Kurz, and Lazarov, 2017). By
preparing regular data and check on performance reviews is somehow what the organisation
want from the manager who you look towards them and ready to make from changes so that the
organisation would not suffer any unpredictable risk and uncertainty into large competitive
environment. The process of strategic lens fulfils the requirement of metrics and new initiative

by preparing a whole new concept and making the employees ready for a change into
organisation. A company e work through strategic lens must have an up-to-date documentation
and organisational chart which shows their strength and weakness, threats and opportunities.
Preparing chart and setting down the hierarchy culture will maintain a centralised environment of
working through which the employees will be clear about their roles and responsibility and know
to whom they need to report and take orders (Oro, and Facin Lavarda, 2017). This strategic
length or approach works in a deliberative manager in the organisation so that they could achieve
their targets before the deadlines. The main criteria behind strategic Alliance is not only to
achieve organisational goals by giving target and task but also it evaluate the internal
competency of organisation through focusing on the right person and who are eligible to hold a
responsible position. It is necessary to identify an appropriate performance check which can
clearly show who has the potential to take right decision and who does not actively fit for
initiatives and change into organisation. The example will carry on towards Amazon and Tesco
as both the companies come under largest retailers into the world. They maintain a proper
organisational chart and follow the strategic plans approach in order to build a powerful business
strategy to get success through a sustainable business, achieve profitability, ensuring right
promotions and this roles and responsibility. All these functions are necessary to look while
taking any business decisions.
Mainly the large organisation requires an innovative strategy and approach with
underline their process of generating and executing the plan. Also the strategic men sometimes
process under bureaucracies which must be stable to innovate in a better manner otherwise it
could lose the control and the whole strategic solution will be deemed. Therefore, in recent time
business organisation is highly in requirement of Technology as well as globalisation to ascertain
their growth and existence for long-term into market. As the competitions are rising rapidly and
corruption touch the height (Sukhari, and De Villiers, 2019). So that, it is necessary to undertake
all the internal and external factors of organisation that could influence on the culture politics
and power within workplace. So that, the cognitive and entrepreneurial school thought the
mindful and thinking of the managers who to create the strategies. As the growth and success of
Ventures call based on what perspectives they undertake while creating any Strategies and
implementing it. The execution must be more powerful and effective then the planning as it is
the only practical aspect on which the success of entrepreneurial ventures is depend upon.

Therefore in order to assist the cognitive approach and on technological School play a best
suitable role in strategic lens formulation so that come the business decisions will come out in an
effective manner. The entire project and the elements of strategic formulation contribute in the
improvement of business to a wide level into Market. It is well said that the organisation require
a healthy and go ahead and environment which support of their human resource and pool of
talented workforce will work as a Saviour for the organisation (Weng, 2020). Therefore it is
needed to get the best benefit of strategic lenses which has coherently and deliberately come
through economic driven and quantitative decisions of strategic holder. The experience, ideas
and discourse are the main part of strategy through which the performance and implications can
be viewed. So that, it has evaluated that strategies could be e reviewed in the form of the
situations and interactions which the managers face during business course affections. These
actions make them experience the past mistakes and make them influence to analyse and
appropriate ideas so that those mistakes could be overcome in a prospective Manner.
CONCLUSION

grooming and mapping out its success into an on technological world. There are much aspect
that the report has critically analyses about the three strategic alliances that are political cultural
and strategic. In which the strategic lenses are used for this report which has presented a critical
evaluation on its approaches and the criteria. Moreover, it is also identify the implication of
strategic Alliance on entrepreneurial venture in order to get success in to competitive market. It
