Prof. Rosario Faraci-Economia e Gestione delle Imprese (Capitolo 8)

"Corporate Strategy" - What is the scope of a company's strategies? In just one or more markets? In one, a few, or all stages of a production chain? In domestic markets or even international ones? With its own resources or by resorting to collaboration policies, or even acquisitions, of other companies? These questions are answered in the eighth chapter of the book "Economia e Gestione delle Imprese." Continuing the discussion of strategic processes begun in Chapter VII, it analyzes companies' main strategic choices—diversification, vertical integration, and internationalization—in conjunction with the main policies implemented to achieve them (direct investments, collaboration policies, acquisitions, and mergers).
