Good Strategy_Bad Strategy_ The Difference - Richard P. Rumelt

Strategy is centralization

Strategy is visible as coordinated action imposed on a system. When I say strategy is “imposed,” I mean just that. It is an exercise in centralized power, used to overcome the natural workings of a system. This coordination is unnatural in the sense that it would not occur without the hand of strategy.
