Introduction

Companies go international for a variety of reasons, but still, the typical goal is the company growth or expansion. “The conditioning of the banking performance on the content of banking management in general, and especially on that of financial-foreign exchange risk management, evident for almost all banks, explains the interest of researchers and practitioners to this area”. The competitiveness of the banks today has its origin in the strategies they adopt and apply, strategies in which risk management plays a key role. The importance of commercial banks after the ravage of the liberation war to develop a better economy was severally needed and it is needed now and will be required in future also. In time to time Government of Indonesia agreed to permit the private commercial banking in the country.

Risk management is an integral part of the bank’s strategy, addressing this vulnerability and complexity of the environment in which the bank operates. It is accepted that the risk profile is an essential component of the bank and therefore further development of banking strategy will be achieved if current and future risk profile are neglected (Panzaru, 2011). In general, “bank’s business activities focused on the public fund collection and redistribution in the form of credit and financing in addition to other banking service procurement. Bank had determined the appropriate strategies marked by the significant increase of its performance”. Several banks, it has been growing faster as one of the leaders of the new generation banks in the private sector in respect of business and profitability as it is evident from the financial statements for the last 5 years.

Literature Review

Back the Resource Based Theory (RBV); “strategic management has the advantage of developing corporate value, managerial capabilities, organizational responsibility and an administrative system that unites operational and strategic decision-making in all management hierarchies and connects internal and external business conditions of the company” (Wheelen & Hunger, 1996). Thus strategic planning almost always starts with “what can happen”, not starting from “what happened”. The speed of new market innovations and changing consumer patterns requires core competencies. Companies need to look for core competencies in the business they are doing (Hamel & Prahalad, 1995; Susanto, 2014). Strategy is a pattern or plan that integrates the main goals of the organization, policies, or actions into an integrated linkage. A good strategy is expected to help integrate various interests. For the internal interests of the organization, the strategy is expected to be able to assist in the utilization and allocation of organizational resources (Bower, 2007). For the external interests of the organization, the strategy is expected to be able to help anticipate environmental changes. Organizational wheels should advance along with the development of the environment (Mintzberg & Quinn, 1991). Strategic thinking will familiarize managers with training foresight to look outward at consumer needs, new opportunities, and competitive positions, in addition to sharpening managers' foresight in seeing operations in the company. It is very important for managers to direct attention to the evolving needs of consumers. Higher income and consumer knowledge have an impact on increasing the types of needs, tastes, services, comfort, and safety of the products to be purchased (Thompson & Strickland, 1987).

Strategic management is a number of decisions and actions that lead to the preparation of a strategy or a number of effective strategies to help achieve company goals. The strategic management process is the means by which strategic planners set goals and make decisions (Glueck, 1980). So that strategic management has the advantage of developing corporate value, managerial capabilities, organizational responsibility and an administrative system that unites operational and strategic decision-making in all management hierarchies and connects internal and external business conditions of the company (Wheelen & Hunger, 1996).

Strategic management is a series of processes or stages, so this process is intended to integrate the mission and objectives associated with internal and external conditions in the form of strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities in order to obtain the right strategy (De Wit & Meyer, 2005). The strategic management process must be carried out based on the stages above, it cannot be piecemeal, but must be as a whole in order to achieve maximum results (Bower, 2007). Strategic management has advantages for; Strategy formulation activities strengthen the company's ability to prevent problems. Strategic decisions based on groups are likely to result from the best available alternatives (Kasali, 2010). Employee involvement in strategy formulation increases understanding of the reward productivity in each strategic plan and thereby enhances their motivation. Gaps and overlaps between individual and group activities are reduced because participation in the formulation of strategies clarifies the differences in their respective roles and decreases resistance to change (Kurniawan & Hamdani, 2008).

The strategic management process (Figure 1) must be carried out based on the above stages, not in bits and pieces, but as a whole in order to achieve maximum results. So it can be underlined that the stages in strategic management include: Establishing the company's mission and goals (Rangkuti, 2008). Company goals and mission are important to determine the judgment of the company's most important decision makers. Researching threats and opportunities. Examining threats and opportunities undertaken to determine the company's ever-changing external environment. Researching strengths and weaknesses this is done to determine the internal strengths and weaknesses of the company (Fandy, 2015). Considering alternative strategies, to determine which strategy will be chosen according to the company's circumstances and environmental conditions both at present and in the future. Choosing a strategy, after considering alternative strategies, a strategy selection is made, namely to ensure the right strategy. In implementing the strategy, the company must be able to allocate resources and adjust functional policies in accordance with the chosen strategy. Strategy evaluation, to ensure the implementation of the strategy can achieve the goals or not and what actions must be taken to overcome them (Untoro & Halim, 2007).

Figure 1 Model of the Framework

Determining the right strategy must start with analyzing and diagnosing the ever-changing environment. The more easily the environment changes, the greater the impact on the organization. Therefore, companies need to conduct a careful analysis of the environmental situation, both the current environmental situation and the environmental situation in the future. Environmental analysis is an analysis to determine opportunities and threats that have important meaning for the company in the future which also includes efforts to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the company at the present time or that may be developing (Tambunan, 2012). Environmental analysis is a process of observing an organization to identify current and future threats and opportunities that affect the company's ability to achieve its goals. Some of the definitions mentioned above explain that environmental analysis is used to monitor the company's environment (Muljono, 2012). Meanwhile, the specific definition of strategy is an action that is continuously increasing and carried out in accordance with the point of view of what consumers want and expect for the future. With this strategy, there is something that almost starts with what always happens and not what happens (Taufiqurokhman, 2016).

Thus the company can be ready to face an ever-changing environmental situation, can identify and make a priority scale, and finally be able to formulate its strategy appropriately. Environmental analysis has an important meaning in itself that makes companies feel they must and need to do it (Suwarsono, 2000). The importance of environmental analysis is often emphasized by experts according to their respective versions. So that management can be responsive to important problems that occur in the company environment and can be formulated in decision making (Hadari, 2005).The strategic choice approach is embedded in strategic management literature and focuses on the central role of strategy as a determinant of firms’ performance. According to strategic choice approach, firms are assumed to be open systems that confront and respond to challenges and opportunities in their environment (Child, 1997).

Methodology

Based on the thoughts that have been presented to answer the research objectives, the type used is explanatory research. It is explained that explanatory design is typically used to explain and interpret quantitative results by collecting and analyzing follow-up qualitative data. It can be especially useful when unexpected results arise from a quantitative study. In this case, the qualitative data collection that follows can be used to examine these surprising results in more detail. This strategy may or may not have a specific theoretical perspective (Creswell & Creswell, 2017).

In this study, the number of samples taken was 43 bank or financial sector business, with the proportional sampling technique. Samples selected in accordance with established criteria, among others; The business has been running for more than 3 years, is willing to become a respondent and provide the necessary data, has been registered.

The research results test and support the Resource Based Theory (RBV) of (Thompson & Strickland, 1987; Mintzberg & Quinn, 1991; Hamel & Prahalad, 1995; Wheelen & Hunger, 1996; Bower, 2007), so that strategic management is not only for the company. Bank National at Indonesia enterprises, large and international scale businesses must also pay attention to strategic management in anticipation of increasingly fierce competition. Attention to strategic management is important for business actors in an effort to achieve short-term and long-term goals, namely the continuity and development of an increasingly good business. The problem with this approach is that the activities are carried out largely in isolation and without guidance from the enterprise strategy. This partition of responsibilities creates the gulf between an organization’s strategy and its processes, systems, and people. Attention to strategic management is important for business actors in an effort to achieve short-term and long-term goals, namely the continuity and development of an increasingly good business (Figure 2).

Based on this model; the phases or stages obtained in the above model may change, this is due to various reasons, among others; competitive conditions, the ability to analyze the strengths and weaknesses, the existence of threats and opportunities that can be entered. The foresight of the manager or owner is the main key in determining a superior and optimal competitive strategy. An owner is viewed in this study as a managerial employee who is tasked to oversee the successful execution of strategic initiatives. While issues of strategic planning have presented challenges to strategic leaders, it is in the area of strategy implementation where these leaders have encountered a number of challenges reported that although formulating a consistent strategy and making it work is fairly easy, implementing it throughout the organisation is even more difficult. Based on the results of the analysis and research hypotheses, to face increasingly competitive competition in various situations and conditions (including Covid-19), the ability to plan and evaluate strategies is required. Therefore, leaders or business owners must learn and explore various information related to business strategy management from various relevant sources.
