version of there selves…

STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNITS & PRODUCT -MARKET MATRIX
• Corporate level strategy – at overall business level
• Business level strategy – at business unit level
• Functional strategies
Definition: SBU (strategic business unit) = a part of a corporation grouped around a particular activity, product group or
technology.
Each SBU has responsibility for it’s own business strategy and profit performance.
Goals of SBU:
• To decentralise initiative to smaller units within the corporation so SBUs can pursue their own distinct strategy
• To allow large corporations to vary their business strategies according to the different needs of external markets
• To encourage accountability – each SBU can be held responsible for the success or failure of its own strategy
How to identify SBUs in a company?
• Market-based criteria ( same customer types – same channels – similar competitors)
• Capabilities-based criteria

services to different countries or importing
products and services from other countries.

their product portfolios based on which product
does well globally and cut down on their SKUs

diversity and inclusion

worldwide
(2) Multi-Domestic strategy
- A multi-domestic strategy is a dynamic strategy as it focuses on achieving the maximum local
responsiveness of customers towards the brand through local customization and personalization
of products.
