Strategic Management Analysis
The basis for any senior management decisions is analysis with influences on short and long-term financial statements – results. It is not only extra profitability that needs to be analysed because, current short-term decisions could lead into significant enhancement of Profit but in long-term period company might lose on its value much more because of blind current strategic decisions. Manufacturers could also go to bankruptcy if they lose experts, revolutionary process cycles, procedure and market value. They could lose their competitive advantage. All this could happen if strategic management analysis is oriented on short-term financial results aka maximizing current profitability.
Sustainable development and value contribution should be the most important goal for any strategic management evaluation.One of best models with all respect to Balance Score Card, Activity Based Costs and Six Sigma is definitely Economic Value Add (EVA) that gives best view into sustainable opportunities in industry and extra profit. Catch with EVA model is to have accurate Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) but this is topic for another story.
It doesn't make any difference which business enterprise model top management uses to construct business value, strategic management evaluation needs to be careful about degree of company knowledge integration with financial statements. In other words, company information flow and knowledge generation, best is through customized business intelligence software solutions, must be quantified directly in financial statements.
If business data from KPIs, from financial statements and financial ratios are not integrated, strategic management decisions will not have good quantity analysis (estimation). Strategic management decisions will than rely more on management experience and feeling instead of poor quality plans and analysis. Low integration means data from production systems, financial and non financial systems, are not directly related. If for example sales figure is changed, revenue or cost will be not transparently presented in financial statements. This is the main game, complete integration of non financial indicators into financial ratios. That would allow ultimate strategic management analysis.
Strategic management analysis must rely on solid corporate knowledge from information systems like standard business intelligence, business performance management, data warehouse, data mining, business intelligence for finance and business models. That is a must! Only then can be many analysis compared and fine tuned. Only then can valuable strategic decisions be made upon strategic management analysis. There is no other way to go without high quality strategic management analysis that is based upon company information flow and external data (marketing research).
Results in the financial and non-financial world are easy to find, to compare strategic decisions in strategic management analysis. For example if EVA model is implemented in company then it is easy to base strategic management decisions on simply just finding which analysis brings more EVA.

"What is not clear is why the three factors combined to produce a crisis now but not at any point in the past."
The whole emergence of complicated maths justifying business decisions seems novel to me.It was a trigger for the 3 factors to just start of the very unbalanced cascade which then set off.Scepticism was blinded by the glittering rewards .
Maybe I can try business finance

Sorry about the typos in my last.
If the April 06 number is a “six sigma” event (according to you know whom), I winder how come and why their much vaunted quality assurance systems didn’t reject it as spurious.
Typos are a fact of life.
It's not a six sigma event. However, it is a real event, as the daily data shows.
I have been trading currency the last 6 years and I made 500% return last year. This is a risk investment but it takes good money management and experience to have profit.
I am looking for few more clients. I do not take investors money. They open their account and give me a limited power of attorney to trade their money for them They have full controll over their funds and they are responsible for their own taxes.
I charge 30% of monthly profits and I will send you a copy of one of the accounts I trade for you to see.

> Why manufacture in China?
* Shipping costs are at a three- to four-year low.
* Integration of supply chain, especially for products like consumer electronics.
* Labor costs remain cheaper than in the United States.
>> Why manufacture in the Americas?
* Closer to American markets.
* Integration of supply chain, potentially for things like auto assembly.
* Ease of making changes to orders.
* Time. Products don’t sit on boats for weeks or months.
* Cash use. Chinese manufacturers can require full payment before shipment.
* Strength of currency. As the dollar weakens, the underlying cost advantage of China may dissipate.
