Most organizations
simultaneously pursue a
combination of two or more
strategies,
but a combination strategy
can be exceptionally risky if
carried too far.

No organization can afford to


pursue all the strategies that
might benefit the firm.
Difficult decisions must be
made and priorities must be
established.
