In order to tap into this market careful planning of the firm’s strategy must be carried out. Strategy is exclusively concerned with specific competitive advantage, and for Springbok to avoid the mistakes of their predecessors they will need to implement a strategy allowing more efficient operation in the environment and define unique competencies. The following is a strategy designed to ensure a sustainable position for Springbok’s in the Australian grocery market.
