    1.0 INTRODUCTION


    Business strategy is defined as a set of actions and decisions that enable an organization to achieve its goals and objectives. Strategy refers to how a company will handle the competition in the market, the value proposition of the company, the products and services to be offered and it explains how the company’s resources and capabilities will be distributed. In a company’s strategy, there is its mission, vision, and culture of the people there. 

    It is important to note that strategy is not a fixed concept in the company. It has to be checked on from time to time and updated so as to be consistent with the changing environment, customer needs, and competitive forces among so many others. A business strategy necessitates continuous monitoring and observing, assessment, and modification to ensure that it remains relevant and effective to the organization.

    It should be pointed out that a business strategy is not a general solution that can be imitated from another company or industry to the other but rather it is an exclusive and distinguishing declaration of a company’s distinctiveness, strengths and weaknesses, and its competitive advantages. It ought to be personalized to the exact environment or perspective and challenges that a company encounters in the course of its business.

    Also strategy is not an assurance of success or an additional for execution in an organization. It is a monitor and a background that aids a company in making better decisions and aligning its actions with its goals. Strategy necessitates commitment, discipline, and innovation from all levels of the organization in order for them to achieve it.
