Coke and Pepsi are rivals, milk is a substitute for both
substitutes create a price ceiling because consumers switch to the substitute if
prices rise
substitutes will likely come from outside the industry—be sure to look

Corporate Level Strategies
Concerned with the selection of businesses –in which the company
should compete and with the development and coordination of that
portfolio of businesses.
The strategies include identifying the overall goals of the corporation,
the types of businesses in which the corporation should be involved,
and the way in which businesses will be integrated and managed.
Corporate strategy seeks to develop synergies by sharing and
coordinating staff and other resources across business units, investing
financial resources across business units, and using business units to
complement other corporate business activities.
Decides how business units are to be governed: through direct corporate
intervention (centralization) or through more or less autonomous
government (decentralization) that relies on persuasion and rewards.

Step 2: Find the average scores for FS, ES, IS and CA.
Calculations:
X axis = IS + CA Y axis = FS + ES
= 9 + (- 3.0) = 4 + (- 4.5)
= 6.0 = - 0.5
