Strategicmanagement is a level of managerial activity below setting goals and above tactics. Strategic management provides overall direction to an enterprise.
A tactic is a method intended to fulfill a specific objective in the context of an overall plan.
Operational control regulates day-to-day output relative to schedules, specifications, and costs.
Good managers have a broad vision of the process, a series of embedded tactics for efficiency and/or differentiation, and a careful operational control for cost control.
