Stability Strategy
The organization that adopts a stability strategy
focuses on its existing line or lines of business and attempts to maintain them
through one of the following ways.
1. Maintaining
status quo-continue to do what it has been doing
2. Sustainability- reinforcing the organization with
more competencies to carry on things in a better or innovative way.
This is a useful strategy in
several situations.
1. An organization that is large and dominates its market(s)
may choose a stability strategy in an effort to avoid government controls or
penalties for monopolizing the industry.
2. Another organization may find that further growth
is too costly and could have detrimental effects on profitability.
3. Finally, an organization in a low- growth or
no-growth industry that has no other viable options may be forced to select a
stability strategy.
