Strategy
Professor Costas Markides, of the London Business School, put it well: “strategy is about
making choices; about ‘who, what, how’: who is our chosen customer; what are we going
to sell; and how are we going to deliver that value proposition”. It should lead to a
coherent set of mutually reinforcing choices.
Mintzberg initially wrote about the five pillars of strategy in 1987. The five Ps each stand
for a different method of strategy. Plan, Ploy, Pattern, Position, and Perspective fall under
this category. These five factors make it possible for a business to create a more effective
plan.

Cost Leadership
What is Cost Leadership?
Cost leadership occurs when a company is the category leader for low pricing.
To successfully achieve this without drastically cutting revenue, a business must reduce costs in all other areas of the
business, such as marketing, distribution, and packaging.
A cost leadership strategy is a company’s plan to become a cost leader in its category or market.
How can a company become a cost leader? How to develop a cost leadership strategy?

Examples
Walt Disney Co. acquired Pixar in 2006 for $7.4 billion, and has since
seen tremendous success with films like WALL-E, Finding Dory and Toy
Story 3 – each of which have generated billions of dollars in revenue for
the company.
eCommerce giant eBay purchased Skype for $2.6 billion back in 2005,
thinking that buyers and sellers could better connect with their video
communication tools.
The acquisition was a major flop, with users continuing to prefer email to
organize and execute their transactions. Skype’s management team was
reportedly changed four times in four years by eBay in an attempt to salvage
the acquisition, before they finally sold off 65% of the company in 2009.
