Strategy (from Greek στρατηγία stratēgia, "art of troop leader; office of general, command, generalship") is a high level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty. In the sense of the "art of the general", which included several subsets of skills including "tactics", siegecraft, logistics etc., the term came into use in the 6th century C.E. in East Roman terminology, and was translated into Western vernacular languages only in the 18th century. From then until the 20th century, the word "strategy" came to denote "a comprehensive way to try to pursue political ends, including the threat or actual use of force, in a dialectic of wills" in a military conflict, in which both adversaries interact.
Strategy is important because the resources available to achieve these goals are usually limited. Strategy generally involves setting goals, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions. A strategy describes how the ends (goals) will be achieved by the means (resources). This is generally tasked with determining strategy. Strategy can be intended or can emerge as a pattern of activity as the organization adapts to its environment or competes. It involves activities such as strategic planning and strategic thinking.
Michael Eugene Porter (born May 23, 1947) is the Bishop William Lawrence University Professor at The Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, based at the Harvard Business School.

He chairs Harvard Business School's program dedicated for newly appointed CEOs of very large corporations.
Michael Eugene Porter received a BSE with high honors in aerospace and mechanical engineering from Princeton University in 1969, where he graduated first in his class and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Tau Beta Pi. He received an MBA with high distinction in 1971 from Harvard Business School, where he was a George F. Baker Scholar, and a PhD in business economics from Harvard University in 1973.
Porter said in an interview that he first became interested in competition through sports. He was on the NCAA championship golf squad at Princeton and also played football, baseball and basketball growing up.

[MC Lyte] (Useful strategy)
[VERSE 1: Sugar Ray]
Standin over the mic, gettin deeper in thought
Brain cells amplifyin at a 1000 volts
Rhymes combined and musically designed
While my DJ rock the funky beats all the time
I'm usin strategy, leavin suckers in the dust
You know it's us, the Kings cold crush
Makin a move to a swing-swing groove
I bet you nod your head, cause I got nothin to lose
And never singin the blues and never steppin off track
Makin funky records from back to back to back
Well, that's my strategy and part of the gameplan
While you're hearin this, I'm workin on the next jam
I devastate the whole industry
I rock the funky beats and rhymes with telepathy
Well, it's confusin but amusin, some amaze me in rap
Brothers makin hit records that ain't all that
But the subject to the matter don't apply to me
Because my name is Sugar Ray, and the rhymes are so funky
You wanna battle? Call my company
You catch a beatdown, I'm usin strategy
Kick it
[VERSE 2: Mike Master]
I treat suckers like a boardgame, and relate em to chess
I check-mate em and I raid em cause the punk ain't fresh
He can't make a move, he can't make you jump
I'm Mike Master, ready to hump and pump
I mean a winner with a creative mind
I got a high i.q. like Albert E. Einstein
Now here's my theory on strategy you can't debate
Suckers never take time to concentrate
I get delirious when I hear a rap song
No concepts, no ideas, so what the hell is goin on?
Some rappers are good, and some rappers are dope
But the majority just keep relyin on hope
You can't portray an MC, you gots to be an MC
If not, put down your microphone and watch me
Cause I do the things like you never did
I'm like a hardrock on stage, but not a gangster kid
So if you wanna battle, call my company
You catch a beatdown, I'm usin strategy
Kick it
(Useful strategy)
[VERSE 3: Sugar Kay & Mike Master]
The style of the crew's too hip, so come equipped
So if you plan on battlin, you're [fuckin] with a battleship
The Kings of Swing is large and takin charge
Of the whole entourage while Cocoa steers the barge
Of the beats that the King of Chill programmed
He's on the board this time to slam and bam - damn!
And if you're smart, you won't confront nor war
And if you plan on battlin, we steppin to your front door
You wanna battle? Call my company
We're goin Rambo, we're usin strategy
Kick it
