🎯 What does “strategy” in business really mean?
It’s one of those words tossed around everywhere—from sports to politics to boardrooms—but when companies talk strategy, there’s far more under the surface.

In this episode of The Deep Dive, we cut through the buzzwords and explore the real mechanics of strategic thinking: how businesses plan, allocate resources, form partnerships, and make bold moves to win in competitive markets.

📌 Here’s what you’ll discover in this video:

• 🗺️ The two meanings of “strategy”: the plan itself vs. the skill of planning.

• 💰 Why profitability is often the ultimate scoreboard for strategy.

• 🔑 How leaders allocate resources—money, people, and know-how—to bring a plan to life.

• 🌍 The power (and pitfalls) of strategic partnerships with real-world examples.

• ♟️ Strategic moves that change the game, like acquisitions and bold market entries.

• ⚔️ The language of competition: defend, attack, establish a foothold, invade, dominate, withdraw—and how these verbs reveal the story behind business headlines.

💡 The Big Takeaway: Strategy isn’t just a plan on paper—it’s a dynamic game of choices, resources, and positioning. Once you know the vocabulary, you can see the hidden moves behind mergers, new product launches, or sudden market exits.

👉 Next time you read a business headline, pause and ask yourself: Is this a company defending its turf, attacking a rival, or making a bold play to dominate? You might just see the strategy behind the story.
