Writing Homework Help

Overview

This week’s topic may be the most “fun” of any of the strategy topics addressed in this course. So far, we’ve focused almost exclusively on how businesses compete – how they try to achieve a competitive advantage in their industries. But there’s another way to make money (as outlined in Week 1); that method centers around the selection of industries in which an organization chooses to operate. This week, we focus on the block in that diagram labeled “Industry Attractiveness” – which industries should we be in? This is the definition of corporate strategy.
