What is the crux differentiating factor between Divisional, Multi-Divisional and SBU structure?
Strategic Management
answered on 22-Nov-20 08:15
If firms could adopt SBU structure, why they dont just do it. What is need for Divisional and multi-divisional? Is the crux 'multitude of business'? I am having a hard time understanding the basic differentiating these 3. Could you point out in brief?
latest answer
Divisional and multi divisional are same. SBU is a improvisation over divisional where a lot of strategic decisions are taken by the divisions. SBU is like a business inside a business.

SGM vs CL
Strategic Management
answered on 21-Nov-20 10:09
Both Competitive Landscape and Strategic Group Management involve identifying Competitors in order to determine their strengths and weaknesses and exploit them. With the only possible difference being the procedure for constructing SGM. Are there any more differences like when to use which one? Like here in book it says " strategic group mapping is suited when an industry has so many competitors that it is not practical to examine each one in the depth".
latest answer
SGM is a part/method to analyse competitive landscape
