Tactics

According to Wikipedia, the free, on-line encyclopedia:

A tactic is a conceptual action. In military usage, a military tactic is used by a military unit of no larger than a division to implement a specific mission and achieve a specific objective, or to advance toward a specific goal. A tactic is implemented as one or more tasks.

Tactics are what you're going to do to carry out your strategy to accomplish your goals.

An example of a tactic is: if you're a real estate broker, buying a small, local agency in order to facilitate your access into a new part of the city. Or, purchasing a patent from an inventor to keep the invention from falling into the hands of a competitor. Another example is, if you're a local business, organizing a community protest to keep a competitor out of your neighborhood.

You don't have to know the dictionary definitions of these things or agree with me as to what a tactic is, but you have to know what you mean by them in the context of your business so you can do what you need to do. You need to have your goals, objectives, stragegies, and tactics well laid out.

What do you think of this? What are your ideas? I'd like to know. Post a comment.
