In year 1962, strategy was defined by Chandler as “Determination of basic, long-term targets, purposes of enterprises and application of a chain of activities as well as distribution of necessary resources to implement this target ”. In year 1980, Quinn brought out the definition as follows: “Strategy is the pattern or plan which integrates main targets, policies, and activity chain into a general which is united closely”. Johnson and Scholes defined that “Strategy is the orientation and scope of an organization in a long time to win a vantage position in competition for the organization through the formatting of its resources in the changeable environment to meet demand of market and satisfy expectations of relevant parties. At present, with globalization trend, companies are rapidly diversifying their activities out of national borders, from that point, global strategy seems to be the choice of coping with international business matters.2 Concept of strategy administration Strategy administration is a set of administrative decisions and actions which determine long-term productivity of a company Strategy administration includes successive activities: environment check (internal and external); strategy creation, strategy implementation and strategy assessment and control.
Thus, strategy research focuses on the supervision and assessment of chances and external threats in the background of internal strength and weak points.2 Business strategy creation 1.1 Concept of business strategy creation Business strategy creation is the process of confirming targets, tasks and the best method to implement those targets.

Thus, when policies are issued, goal and unification of those policy types need to be guaranteed - Each policy has life history which means that there is a process of being born, bringing into play its effect and being rejected. For this reason, when a policy is issued, a testing period is required to adjust suitably, otherwise, the policy will become a interstice which rivals can take advantage.3 Program Program is the combination of targets, policies, steps which must be implemented, resources which need to be used to implement a given purpose or target of the enterprise.4 Budget Budget is the anticipation of financial resources to guarantee that the given programs of the enterprise are implemented.5 Setting up plan Plan is the detailed report of programs.
