Business Management: Strategic Planning

In your readings for Week One you explored what strategy is and it's importance in gaining and sustaining a competitive advantage.  Using concepts from the Chapter One reading and supplemental resources respond to the following discussion question. You are encouraged to respond to the initial discussion question by Wednesday of Week One.

Discussion question: What strategic position has the company you work for taken for a competitive advantage? What are your perspectives on the types of strategic trade-offs the company made in comparison to other companies in the same industry?

Your response to the discussion question should be at least 250 words in length and contain at least one citation (not Wikipedia or dictionaries) from the course textbook, supplemental reading or video sources, or peer reviewed  sources (ADP Library, Google Scholar). Citations of 40 or more words are not acceptable as they represent a significant amount of an author's thoughts and/or perspectives rather than your own originality.
