<p>Those two words typically come up together in a business context.</p>

<p>operational  运营的
strategic  战略的</p>

<p>Remind: these are only in a business or similar context. In others, the translation does subtly change a little.</p>

<p>In a business context, 作战 seems inappropriate for &quot;operational&quot;, unless you are really wanting that military tinge.  I would suggest 业务 as a counterpoint to 战略 as in the following from <a href="http://wiki.mbalib.com/wiki/%E6%88%98%E7%95%A5%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://wiki.mbalib.com/wiki/战略管理</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>业务层战略着眼于企业中某一具体业务单元的市场和竞争状况，相对于总体战略有一定的独立性，同时又是企业战略体系的组成部分。</p>
<p>An operations-level strategy focuses on the market and competitive status of a certain, specific operational unit within the enterprise, and has a certain indepdence vis-a-vis an overall strategy, while at the same time forming a part of the enterprise's strategic apparatus.</p>

Ok, I'm agree about military tinge of 作战, but 业务 is not the word we need here "operational - happening in the nearest future", 业务 sounds more like "business, occupation"

<p>I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "operational".  I've often heard a distinction made between "strategic" and "tactical" decion-making.  If you are looking for that kind of distinction, 操作 may not be a good choice. One way I've heard people try to express it is 策略 and 戰術. It doesn't feel very natural to me, but in some cases it might work: 布局要有策略，進攻要有戰術 or something like that.  Have you tried looking in 孫子兵法? Bet he has some way of expressing this.</p>

Thanks, but 策略 is a noun, more like 计划，计策，as you see

<p>Thanks to @S.Rhee, I've found an answer:</p>

<ul>
<li>作战 - operational (in context of time)</li>
<li>战略 - strategic</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<p>As it was mentioned by @MasterSparkles 作战 has military tingle, so perhaps it's not good to use in business context.</p>

<p>How to translate 'operational' and 'strategic' in Chinese?
The best match I've found is '操作' and '战略', but would they be correct in a phrase like:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Operational and strategic business decisions</p>
</blockquote>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<p>Context the word pair to be used in:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>BI can be used to support a wide range of business decisions ranging from operational to strategic</p>
</blockquote>

Those two words typically come up together in a business context.

operational 运营的
strategic 战略的

Remind: these are only in a business or similar context. In others, the translation does subtly change a little.
