The difference between corporate strategy and business strategy

Hello readers,  I hope your week has been fine so far. Today I will be writing about the difference between corporate strategy and business strategy. But first of all, what is strategy? It can defined as a plan designed to help achieve a particular goal(s).

Corporate strategy is concerned about your business as a whole while business strategy focuses on a unit within your business. In other words, a corporate strategy is formulated for the whole business while a business strategy is formulated for a single unit within your business.

Corporate strategy directs a business and helps your business to achieve its long term goals. It is created to fulfill the vision of the organisation. The top management is responsible for the development of the corporate strategy. It guides the decision making process within the organisation. It is concerned about the industry in which the business operates in.

Business strategy on the other hand helps the departments within your business meets their goals as different business strategies are developed for different departments. A business strategy is designed specifically for a department. It looks at ways the business can compete with each unit of the business. It focuses on specific issues such as developing a new product. 

Corporate strategy will say "what business can we compete in? Business strategies will say how should we compete? Corporate strategy is concerned about the way a business can add value to itself as a whole which includes its subsidiaries if it has any while a business strategy is concerned about how a particular unit can add value to the business.

That is all for today. Thank you for reading this article. Keep checking out my blog regularly, cheers!

Yet, he allowed women to be entering the part where men enter, seeing women and men walking and passing through the same door. Women praying downstairs with no division between men and women. When I asked him about it, he said it is allowed. How is that allowed. Islam does not encourage the mixing of different sexes. Where ablution is done in the female part is sometimes dirty, when you are suppose to do ablution in a clean place.The toilets there were dirty and they face the qibla. Toilets are not meant to face the qibla according to Islamic law. There is one toilet there that did not face the qibla. A pit latrine, which i find odd why would there be regular toilets and one pit latri...

The world of competence

Hello readers. Today, I will be writing about competence. Competence is the ability that enables a company or an individual to deploy its resources effectively. It is neccessary for a company to have a competence target in all its business activities so as to deliver value to its customers. This will help create a competitive advantage for the company.
