MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – A UW business school professor has written a new book called “Creating the long-term plan for growing enterprise.”

It provides a framework for creating career or business strategies.

The author, Dr. Phil Greenwood, joined WMTV on Wednesday to discuss the five strategies for growth.

There are five strategies that are focused on in his book.

  2. Staging- speed and sequence?
    1. How fast do you want your business to grow, or do you want to grow?
  3. Arenas(s)- where?
    1. Where are you going to compete?
    2. What market segments do you want to serve?
    3. What markets do you not want to sell in?
  4. How are you different from your competition?
    1. How is your product going to stand out from other competitors?
  5. Economic logic and looking at money.
