According to recent Accenture research, only a third of U.S. businesses in the S&P 500 are in position to pursue competitive advantage during the current economic downturn. But the need to improve is universal. In this podcast, Accenture utilizes its experience and research to demonstrate the four effective strategies high performers use to navigate these hard times: Growth strategies, Scale strategies, Operations strategies and Financing strategies. We examine each of these strategies in detail, first focusing on different strategy subtypes (for example, market-focused, product-focused, and geographic-focused strategies which fall under Growth strategies), and then spotlighting how these strategies are being successfully employed by industry leaders.
