<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Operating and developing an organization should be based on a strategy. It is not mandatory to have a written one. Beyond every idea of business or concept, there is a strategy. In a simple and plain definition, the word strategy could be defined as the road from an idea to ultimate success. For a more academic approach, we have a quote from Michael Porter, who stated “Strategy is the creation of a unique and valuable position, involving a different set of activities” (Mintzberg, Ahlstrand, Lampel, 1998, pg 21). For any organization strategies come in different sizes and shapes. The strategy conceived for covering the whole organization can be named “Corporate-Level Strategy” and the strategy conceived for a specific business line can be named “Business-level Strategy”. They both answer mostly to specific questions. The “Corporate-Level Strategy” is asking to “What business can we build ?” and “Business-Level Strategy” is answering “How can we build the business ?”. In other words, corporate-level strategy will focus on choosing the business. The business strategy will focus on the way the business will be made. (Beard, Dess, 1981, pg 4). In order to provide an example that will include the both strategies applied in a practical way, the current analysis will study a player from the healthcare industry.
