Business strategy examples offer a great way for budding strategists to learn. Of course, business strategy reaches every aspect of a business, whether a start-up or an already established business.

Because the barriers to starting a new business are so low, many want to be entrepreneurs who skip past a business course at college. The resulting fallout can be painful to watch sometimes. All too often the failure that occurs is blamed on poor cash flow, but in all honesty, that’s wrong. The real reason for the failure lies in the business strategy. The failure to have a concise and well-thought-out plan can be identified as the cause.

So, how can this be avoided?

To start with, you can’t escape a need to learn. This doesn’t mean going back to school but rather looking for some business strategy examples. In this article, I’ve pulled together three diverse examples and highlighted the central lessons in each of them. Whilst you should never stop looking to learn, these 3 business strategy examples can help you with your strategic planning.
