Practical Use Cases
What Do Business Portfolio Strategy Consultants Do?
When a company wants to make a decision to discontinue some of its business units, decision-makers may inevitably choose between either sinking (retrenchment), or survival (restructuring). They may recommend retrenching (shrinking) some of the business lines and maintain only the ones where they can have a competitive edge.
Business Portfolio Strategy consultants assess and advise business executives concerning the choice of market and industry in which to compete. They advise about resource allocation within different industries in order to take the best advantage of market share and growth rate. They guide in areas concerning make or buy decisions, IPO preparation, risk strategy, target identification, mergers and acquisitions, and strength identification.
