## What it does

This skill supplies your coding assistant with standard corporate strategy frameworks. It contains templates for Porter's Five Forces, BCG Growth-Share Matrix, McKinsey 9-Box Matrix, and action-oriented SWOT analysis. Each framework guides the model to evaluate competition and allocate resources.

The instructions also cover expansion and M&A deals. When planning entry into a new territory, the skill provides criteria for picking modes from licensing to greenfield ventures, alongside a validation checklist for TAM, SAM, and SOM. For acquisitions, it structures revenue synergies, cost savings, and 100-day integration roadmaps.

The package contains only prompt instructions, so you do not need external API keys or background services. Without specific commercial metrics from your project, the assistant defaults to textbook generalizations.

# Business Strategy Expert

Comprehensive strategic planning frameworks for competitive analysis, growth strategy, and decision-making.

## Core Strategy Frameworks

### Porter's Five Forces Analysis

Analyze industry competitiveness:

| Force                      | Key Questions                                             | Analysis Focus                      |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Threat of New Entrants** | Capital requirements? Regulatory barriers? Brand loyalty? | Entry barriers, scale advantages    |
| **Supplier Power**         | Concentration? Switching costs? Forward integration risk? | Input cost control, supply security |
| **Buyer Power**            | Concentration? Price sensitivity? Backward integration?   | Customer bargaining leverage        |
| **Threat of Substitutes**  | Alternative solutions? Price-performance tradeoffs?       | Disruption vulnerability            |
| **Competitive Rivalry**    | Industry growth? Differentiation? Exit barriers?          | Competitive intensity               |

### BCG Growth-Share Matrix

Portfolio analysis for resource allocation:

| Quadrant           | Definition              | Strategy                        |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| **Stars**          | High growth, high share | Invest heavily, defend position |
| **Cash Cows**      | Low growth, high share  | Harvest, fund other initiatives |
| **Question Marks** | High growth, low share  | Invest selectively or divest    |
| **Dogs**           | Low growth, low share   | Divest or minimize investment   |

### McKinsey 9-Box Matrix

More nuanced portfolio positioning:

```
                    INDUSTRY ATTRACTIVENESS
                    High      Medium    Low
            High    Invest    Invest    Protect
BUSINESS    Med     Invest    Selective Harvest
STRENGTH    Low     Selective Harvest   Divest
```

### SWOT Analysis (Strategic)

Beyond basic SWOT - strategic implications:

```
INTERNAL FACTORS:
Strengths → Leverage for competitive advantage
Weaknesses → Address or neutralize

EXTERNAL FACTORS:
Opportunities → Capture with existing strengths
Threats → Mitigate through strategic moves

STRATEGIC QUESTIONS:
1. S-O: How can strengths exploit opportunities?
2. W-O: Which weaknesses prevent capturing opportunities?
3. S-T: Which strengths can counter threats?
