Define strategy. Describe the four major phases in the strategic planning process?

Strategy is a broad-based formula for how a business is going to accomplish its mission, what its goals should be, and what plans and policies will be needed to carry out those goals. Strategy initiation, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and strategy assessment are the four major phases. Strategy initiation is the initial phase of strategic planning in which the organization examines itself and its environment. Strategy formulation is the development of strategies to exploit opportunities and manage threats in the business environment in light of corporate strengths and weaknesses. Strategy implementation is the development of detailed, short-term plans for carrying out the projects agreed on in strategy formulation. Strategy assessment is the continuous evaluation of progress toward the organization's strategic goals, resulting in corrective action and, if necessary, strategy reformulation.

Give a brief description of components

A component is a relatively independent, encapsulated, and replaceable unit of software that provides services specified by one or more interfaces. Even though a component is not necessarily reusable, it is the ideal method for creating flexible systems.
Although anything that goes into building something bigger can be called a "component," software components must have certain properties to qualify for the term: a component is a binary and relatively independent entity, a component's interface is separate from its implementation, and a component is replaceable.
Components are not the same as objects. A component might be composed of one object, many objects, or no objects at all. The other important difference is the binary nature of components: components are language-neutral, while objects are language-dependent.
A component usually has two sets of properties: functional (or what the component does) and extra-functional (that describe the component itself). While the rules governing the first set are well-defined by the underlying platforms, the second set usually does not enjoy a standard definition.
