On the question, I would like to state that:

* All employees should be performing in accordance to company's strategy

* All managers should provide guidelines and supervision to their departments to ensure the implementation of company's strategy. 

* All managers should report and feedback to senior management about the implementation of strategy.

* Senior management is responsible for monitoring the external environment (competitors, market, clients, government, laws, ..etc) and guide/supervise broadly the internal environment, also to create and review company mission/vision. Based on these inputs, plus required knowledge and experience, senior management will be able to CREATE/UPDATE company's strategy. 

 

** Many multinational companies require all senior managers to obtain a formal education (like MBA) that ensure that each holds required knowledge of strategic planning among other things, regardless of the company core business or each individual background.

A Strategic Planning or Master Planning is a backbone of Management. You can't simply order your team to perform, you have to give them goals and also define paths to achieve those goals.
