Overview of Strategic Business Units (SBUs):
An SBU is a distinct, semi-autonomous unit within a larger corporation, with its own mission, goals, and strategies. SBUs allow large organizations to focus on specific market segments and competitive landscapes, providing them with the flexibility to innovate and adapt.

Purpose and Importance of SBUs:
SBUs enable businesses to maintain strategic focus by decentralizing management, allowing each unit to focus on its specific market. By giving each SBU autonomy, companies can drive innovation and achieve higher operational efficiency.
