A recent study by Deloitte indicates that small and mid-sized manufacturers in Pennsylvania that lack a sound business strategy find it more difficult to identify and enter new markets, as well as to decide upon and successfully launch new products thus making top-line growth much harder to achieve.

A successful business strategy will clearly define your company's goals and objectives. These goals and objectives must be subjected to validation by comparing them against actual market conditions and customer expectations. With the marketplace and competition in a state of constant flux, a focused set of evaluation criteria regarding market segments, customer buying behavior and competitive positioning can give you the insight you need to sustain your company's growth and profitability.

Development of a business strategy is not enough. Execution of the strategy is as important as the development of a sound strategy. In a recent survey of manufacturers, 80% of those companies identified as "High Performance" indicated that they have become more effective at implementing their strategies while almost 60% of all other respondents felt that their efforts to develop and implement business strategy have stayed the same or declined in recent years.
