Quotes

• “If people in the organization don't understand how a company is supposed to be different, how it creates value compared to its rivals, then how can they possibly make all of the myriad choices they have to make? Every salesman has to know the strategy — otherwise, he won't know who to call on. Every engineer has to understand it, or she won't know what to build.”
• “The best CEOs I know are teachers, and at the core of what they teach is strategy.”
• “The essence of formulating strategy is relating a company to its environment.”
• “Low cost relative to competitors becomes the theme running through the entire strategy, though quality, service and other areas cannot be ignored.”
• “The firm achieving focus may also potentially earn above-average returns for its industry. Its focus means that the firm either has a low cost position with its strategic target, high differentiation, or both.”
• “The grandfather of concepts for predicting the probable course of industry evolution is the familiar .”
