I am sure that you know a business is not able to manage if it does not have management. The employees that the business has on its payroll have to be managed and directed. They would be only too happy to sit around and do nothing the entire day and be paid for it. That is the nature of the human being. This means that you need strategic management to make sure that everything goes according to a predetermined plan and your business becomes a success. Strategic management can be applied to any business, it does not matter what sector you are in. Even a one man business can profit from a bit of strategy and planning, which is what strategic management actually is after all. Get your business off to a good start by having a good plan in place from day one to get it to succeed. The worst that can happen is that your business will fail anyway.
