Executive nowadays need to make a strategy by making clear and concise answers to- where we compete and how, our unique value, our resources, and capabilities we can use and sustainability.

They also have an inexpensive manufacturing as they have economies of scale. Their shipping costs are very low. Also, they can easily ship and send in mass volumes as they can produce a lot. IKEA doesnt compete in a high level of products and services. They design their products but not manufacture. Thus their strategies are very clear. Also if we talk about Suzlon- energy giant, should actually see to it where they need to apply their resources. That company having tons of resources and capabilities should actually know where their expertise lies. They have a great base of customers and more but if they strategies well they can actually do a lot of wonders in terms of cost cutting.

Innovation doesnt stems from ideas and we dont need high-level technology to make something innovative. Leaders combine many ideas from the old ideas which make innovation. Business model innovation is something that who is your target, what your product is and how you change perception. There are so many companies that have changed business models like Tom and tom that has changed navigation. Flat rate, supermarket, razor and blade pattern etc. have changed the models. The ink- jets printers like have innovation. Initiation, ideation, integration and implementation are something which you need to do to develop and change your business model to have innovation. You need to return to deign your to make sure that you can have innovation. (Burt, 1987) Change initiatives do fail. Only implement one model and communicate nicely. Dont emphasize, get top level trust, and overcome the not h ere syndrome. Innovation is the key factor to make sure you are in the market. You should learn from other and reinvent so that you can do wonders by following the main 4 steps. Apply innovation patters and start implantation. Make sure you innovate and learn from your leaders.

The one company should use it is non-other than Corus. They should actually go for a turnaround strategy as overall industry is also falling. (Kenny, 2009) Because with the current organization structure and strategy they cant compete in the international market with steel companies as this is now known as the Tata Europe steel company as the joint venture with Tata has broken down almost. (Raustiala Sprigman, 2012) They should go for trunk around and divestiture strategy in some of the offerings as they have to focus on the core competing for business with a business model innovation is the main key here. As Tata Corus was one of the main employers in the steel industry in Europe, after the inconvenience and end of this merger. They should go for something which no body has thought of and should combine many ideas to gain their position again.

(Bowen, et. al, 2015) If we see economically, this framework for the countries to trade like between in Canada and Mexico. (Carlson School of Management, 2015) Organization where Ideas can be put: Paragraph 2: Like the example of China and India, trade in toys and this is only because of the demographics being same in this segment. Here we talk about the same size of the countries, the similar kind of population numbers and loads more. This helps the companies to trade nicely and in abundance. Also due to the similarity in countries, the companies trade more and more. (Scott, 2014) References Engardio, P. Keenan, F. 2002 The Copycat Economy, Bloomberg Businessweek.
