A 'Strategy' is an elaborate and systematic plan of action. Strategy and planning are often used interchangeably, though strategy is used in a more serious manner. In my opinion, strategy is similar to a MIMO problem in control systems - Multiple Input Multiple Output. In MIMO, the simplest way to approach the situation is to divide it into a number of SISO (Single Input Single Output) problems. Assume that the final output is being affected solely by one of the inputs and analyze the situation. Repeat the same approach in a systematic way for all the inputs and all the outputs, and then assign priority numbers or any other measurable way to see which will be the best way to attack the problem.
I do not want to do a complete mapping of MIMO approach as it is too complex - but it does make sense in having this kind of a comparison.
