strategy

operational effectiveness is not strategy, according to harvard professor michael porter. he suggested three key principles:

  1. strategy is the creation of a unique and valuable position, involving a different set of activities.
  2. strategy requires you to make trade-offs in competing—to choose what not to do.
    some competitive activities are incompatible; thus, gains in one area can be achieved only at the expense of another area.
  3. strategy involves creating “fit” among a company’s activities.
