strategy could lead to early promotions. You can also
evaluate the potential success of companies that you
work for by understanding their strategy.

What unique value should the company offer customers in
those markets?

better unique value than competitors?
How will the company capture value and sustain its
competitive advantage over time?

which companies attempt to offer unique value relative
to competitors?
Low cost or differentiation
5. Who is ultimately responsible for a company’s strategy?
Who does this individual (or individuals) call on for
help in formulating strategy for the firm?

strategic management process. They usually turn to the
board of directors and other top management for
guidance.
6. According to Michael Porter’s “Five Forces” model, why
do some firms earn higher profits than other firms?
Some firms have discovered ways to simultaneously offer
both a low price and a differentiated product, which
turns out to be a powerful source of competitive
advantage.
7. What are resources and capabilities, what is the
difference between them, and why do firms need to assess
them?
