For example, there is
a method to ship-building. There is a strategy to
winning a game. If you follow the correct procedure to build a ship, you will
end up with a correctly built ship. The outcome of a game, on the other hand,
depends on the other players and your response to them, so your actions will be
part of a strategy. A method will not work because the same actions on your part will not always result in the same outcome.
A method typically
involves a set of actions that can be followed in a given situation.
A strategy involves a plan for
how to solve a problem. While methods tend to be fairly constant, strategy can
be updated depending on the circumstances or the actions of others.
For example, at school:
* Method is the way the teacher
approaches the students.
* Strategy is the action to be
taken by the students to reach the objective.
What is the difference between
method and strategy?
A strategy is a plan to get
you through something while a method is just a way of doing something.
A method, for example, can be
referred to as a way of cooking vegetables.
A strategy is mostly used for
military reference, and even sometimes in football.
