QUESTION 2: CORPORATE-LEVEL STRATEGIES

Corporate-level strategies are critical for shaping the overarching direction of a company and
can be broadly categorized into growth and defensive strategies. These strategies are
particularly salient in South Africa’s retail sector, where companies face myriad economic
challenges and intense competition. In analyzing the actions and initiatives of Woolworths,
Shoprite, and Pick n Pay, we can observe both growth and defensive strategies being
implemented.
