Type of corporate strategy
Not what you're looking for?
Which type of corporate strategy deals with the industries or markets in which the firm competes through its products and business units? Is it cooperative, portfolio, functional or directional strategy? Unfortunately, my text does not provide any information on these strategies, but my assignment asks this question.
