Common Organizational Strategies

Growth-Based Strategies can generally be grouped into:

  • Concentration - Focusing on a single line of business.
  • Diversification - Diversification is when companies participate in numerous lines of business or numerous unrelated products/services at the same time. Highly-diversified companies will have numerous business lines. A less-diversified company will have fewer or only one business line.
  • Integration - Combining with suppliers, buyers, or competitors for competitive advantage.
  • Cooperation - Working with competitors rather than competing.
  • Internationalization - Going outside of the countries borders in search of new markets.

Stability Strategies can be based upon:

  • No Change - Stay the operational course.
  • Profit-earning - Maximize profits at a given market share.
  • Cautionary strategies - Planning for the future and mitigating risks.

Retrenchment Strategies can be grouped into:

  • Turnaround - Reorganizing a company that is declining.
  • Divestment - Ridding the company of less valuable operational units.
  • Liquidation Strategies - Selling off assets not necessary for operations.

Mixed Strategies - Lastly, the organization may employ a strategy that employee any of these methods.
