Why is a Strategy needed? requires
a strategy?
Focus: Solid understanding of customer value created
Differentiation: Achieving a (sustainable) competitive advantage
Outperform the competition
Defines “Order winners”
Alignment: Create a consistent pattern in (strategic) decisions
throughout the organization
And consistent over a longer period
Priorities: Shows where to put your money/efforts, and how to make
trade-offs

Sales is emphasizing freshness of all products, whereas Operations tries to cut cost
by maximizing “utilization”: OK?
If you want to be an innovative company with respect to new products, should you:
use dedicated equipment like robots OR have a highly skilled and flexible workforce?
