Business Strategy

Business Strategy is concerned with the guidance of companies and organizations through key decision-making crossroads, while understanding the company, its' assets and capabilities, as well as the business environment in which it operates.

A strategic process is an in-depth process at the end of which, business alternatives the company faces in view of its' situation and the state of the market in which it operates, become clearer.

Under this process, the strategic team works in a methodological, organized fashion, helping the organization choose the path it intends to follow in the next few years.
