Unit 3 Introduction Video
Now that we've addressed the meaning of strategy, the first aspects of strategy development (vision and mission), and internal and external analysis, we can address strategy selection. Many tools can be used, but the main goal of most strategies is to create a competitive advantage. The success of a strategy depends on the firm's competitive advantage, or whether its position in a competitive market allows it to achieve its goals, which might include higher returns on investments, greater efficiency, or superior effectiveness compared to competitors. Let's address some considerations for creating a competitive advantage and some models we can use to formulate a strategy. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
