The topic of this thesis is Analysis of the importance of formulating and implementing strategy and strategic control in the food industry. A good business strategy is based on the creation of an articulated and integrated project, which can enable business to adopt those processes that can improve its efficiency and operational results. Corporate strategies should create a complex and organic process for the proper functioning of business, improving internal and external relations, the contribution of each phase to the final result and, in short, enabling the formation of a satisfactory margin. The company's strategy should be focused on growth, customer growth and sales, which also requires a coherent strategic and financial plan, essential to identify the necessary needs and related sources of coverage. To implement a strategy means to put it into action, i.e. to do everything necessary to achieve the goals that have been set. To ensure that the strategy is implemented in the best possible way, it will be necessary to have an implementation plan with well-defined actions and trusting resources that are informed of what they will need to do. Management control represents a set of activities, systems and techniques that can be used to guide business decisions according to their goals. Her role is to satisfy and support the company's management from a strategic and operational point of view, through data analysis. The stages of management control can be compared to the Deming cycle, which is a method used to control and improve business processes: planning (plan): the company plans measurable goals; action (to do): action is taken, putting the plan into practice; check: the entrepreneur checks and verifies the method, through simple but accurate analyses; improvement (act): the method is perfected. Errors are corrected and aspects that can be improved are improved.
