Each section is meticulously detailed, offering insights into the focus areas, key concepts, and strategic advantages of each approach.
The document also covers core competencies and competitiveness, highlighting the importance of collective learning, cross-functional organization, and strategic resource allocation. It emphasizes the long-term benefits of developing core competencies and how they can be leveraged to achieve a competitive edge. This section is crucial for understanding how to sustain and enhance a company's market position.
Two concepts of the corporation, SBU and core competence, are compared in detail.

This comparison provides a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each concept, helping executives make informed decisions about their corporate strategy.
The primer also introduces the four basic principles of capabilities-based competition and the new capabilities-based growth logic. These sections offer practical frameworks for transforming business processes into strategic capabilities that drive growth and competitive advantage. The emphasis on strategic investments in support infrastructure and the transferability of strategic advantages across geographies is particularly valuable for global businesses.
