for the whole company<br />

� How should these be managed?<br />
� How to create value for the corporation as a whole?<br />
BUSINESS STRATEGY: How to create a competitive advantage in<br />
specific, individual product markets<br />
� Which customers to serve (who?) – segmentation<br />
� Which customers needs to satisfy (what?) – differentiation<br />
� Resources and value chain activities necessary to satisfying customer<br />
needs (how?) – “core competencies”<br />
