The modern era is characterized by a rapid pace of change. Therefore, it is important for all types of organizations

not only to respond to changes, but also to anticipate them. At this time, strategic management acts as the

main tool, which involves the development and implementation of plans that help the organization achieve its

desired goals and objectives. This process includes both strategy formulation and organizational structure and
