A strategy (countable) = a plan or series of plans for achieving success.

Strategic success in a commercial organization is often measured in terms of profitability
(winstgevendheid) – the amount of money it makes in relation to the amount invested.
An important part of planning resource allocation (toewijzing van middelen) = the way
that resources (hulpbron) such as finance, people and assets (middelen) – equipment,
buildings, know-how, etc. – are used to achieve a particular objective.

(uitvoering) of the strategy.

Very strong competition in an industry can also be described as:
Cut-throat moordenaar
Ferocious woest

Actions that increase (toenemen) competition are said to encourage (aanmoedigen),
intensify (versterken) or sharpen (verscherpen) it.
Action that limit (beperken) competition are said to harm (schade), inhibit
(remmen/verhinderen) or stifle (verstikken) it.
The main competitors in a particular industry are its key players. Smaller competitors may
be referred to as minor players.
Situations where there is only one supplier and no competition are monopolies.

Unit 18 Companies and their industries
An important strategic thinker is Micheal Porter. He defines the five competitive forces at
work in any industry.
These are the factors that a firm needs to consider
(overwegen) in developing its competitive strategy. A
successful firm has to build and maintain – keep – its
competitive advantage in relation to these forces.
SWOT stands for strength, weaknesses, opportunities, threats.
Core competencies internal factors.
Porter says that competitive advantage can be based on:
Cost leadership = offering products or services at the lowest cost; this is one
strategy to adopt in volume industries with competitors producing large numbers of
similar products
Differentiation = offering products of services that give added-value in terms of
quality or service compared to competitors
Focus = combining elements of the above two strategies to concentrate on a niche –
a specific part of the market with particular needs
Danger stuck in the middle = when a company does not follow any of these particular
strategies
