Question

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Five Steps to a Strategic Plan,

The Single Strategy You Need to Fuel Business Growth Right Now, and Aligning

Brand Portfolio Strategy with Business Strategy. In 150 words or more, what are

three or four components of a well-thought-out, achievable, and reasonable business

strategy? What mistakes do companies make when developing their strategies?

These thoughts should be qualitative and generic - not discussing/ providing specific

applications of how you may have gleaned competitive advantage (e.g., describing

your business strategy).
