The Three Levels of Enterprise Strategy
 

Enterprise strategy can be formulated and implemented at three different levels: Corporate level, Business unit level, and Functional or departmental level.

At the corporate level, you are responsible for creating value through your businesses. You do so by managing your portfolio of businesses, ensuring that your businesses are successful over the long term, developing business units, and sometimes ensuring that each business is compatible with others in your portfolio.

Products and services are developed by business units. The role of the corporation is to manage its business units, products and services so that each is competitive and so that each contributes to corporate purposes.
