This document discusses strategy formation as a process of negotiation that involves the use of power and politics. It outlines two branches of the "power school" - micro power, which looks at strategy making through political games of bargaining and coalition building among actors within an organization, and macro power, which involves an organization negotiating with and controlling external environmental factors. Key aspects of strategy formation discussed include stakeholder analysis, cooperative strategy making, and how politics can both benefit and hinder the achievement of integrated strategic perspectives within organizations.
