Your strategy is your overall plan, your tactics are the maneuvers used to achieve the goal of the plan. A strategy is a series of tactics.
-
Strategy is a series of tactics. Both never work out in the end though, so I guess they could both be called "An attempt to make sense of this clusterfuck."
-
Tactics are short-term plans, strategy is the long-term plan to reach the goal, using those tactics.
-
I would say that one implements tactics as part of a more generally defined strategy.

If my strategy was to get out of my rented appartment and buy a home in 5 years My tactics would be to: Postpone having kids until after 5 or 6 years Save 1/2 of my monthly income for the next 5 years Invest the money in some safe mutual funds or other safe and profitable financial instruments Take public transportation and sell my car Carry out research to find out houses that would match my savings and budget in a neighbourhood that would satisfy my needs including parks, good schools for my kids, supermarkets Find a banker to finance my project To sum it up then my stategy is my final long range objective and my tactics are the ways and means to achieve that long term goal

STRATEGY involves the “big picture” – the overall plan, how the campaign will achieve organizational goals and objectives. It involves deciding who the important publics are and which of them will be the recipients of your messages (i.e., “target audiences”). TACTICS are activities specifically created and selected to reach specific and measurable objectives. Tactics are the actual ways in which the strategies are executed. They include newsletters, publicity, seminars, trade shows, advertising, Internet presence, and any other tool that target audiences actually are exposed to.

I do agree with most of what have been written before. I just would add one point. Tactics and strategy derives from warfare. Those terms are therefore to be used carefully in a postmodern global world and give some more place to cooperation, contract and regulation. Strategy is in some way a limit to tactics and wellfare is a limit to warfare as well. As militaries have to balance tactics and strategy, politicians have to balance warfare and wellfare. It is their duty and honour. Strategy and tactics certainly help to win a war but are of poor use to get and maintain peace. Just think of Europe, a continent full of tactics and strategy from Napoleon to Hitler and compare with how Europe has been built from 1945 to nowadays.
