Like most words we use for business, strategy is also off course a term from the military. But people confuse the terms "strategy, tactics, technology, operations" and call it all strategy. If you have 500.000 soldiers, someone has to think about how to use this force in a smart way. Otherwise it will be a mess and nobody knows what to do or end up fight each other. There are not a lot of people in an army who can define the strategy. Within the hierarchy there are levels of strategy but then also: people executing > people thinking. In the corporate world, this is the other way around. Following the Dilbert principle, organisations are full of people "analyzing" and "researching" without any mandate or power. This results in endless meetings without any purpose. But it sounds acceptable if they call it "strategy".
