a) Strategy Development for Enterprises
Strategy development is the process of defining the enterprises’, particularly SMEs’, long-term goals and the specific actions, resources, and direction required to achieve them in a competitive and evolving market. Unlike large corporations with vast resources, strategy development for an SME must be actionable, lean, and highly focused to maximize impact from limited budgets and personnel.
