The field of strategic management deals with, the major intended and emergent initiatives, taken by the general managers on behalf of owners, that involve utilization of some resources to enhance the performance of firms in their external environment. Performance, within the conversation of strategic management, deals with superior returns on investments. Superior returns are measured with respect to the firm’s (i) past performance, (ii) competitors and (iii) benchmark indices. The issue of superior returns is addressed by raising two critical managerial questions namely,
