Hey everyone, I have a question on the importance of business strategy for business owners

How do you decide on strategic objectives? How do you monitor them?

Do you look to established strategies (blue ocean, diffusion of innovation, SWOT, etc), or do you more often decide on a general goal, and improvise?

Thanks in advance!
