It explains the strategy process through context analysis, customer value creation, vision and goal setting, generating options, and implementing chosen strategies. The materials also develop strategic thinking, strategic fit versus stretch, and the “strategy equation,” then breaks strategy into corporate, business, and functional levels. A global business context is addressed, including drivers, challenges, benefits, and localisation, plus the accountant’s role in strategy
