Any business plan for the coming year must break down all stages in such a way that your staff understands the path they're intended to take. A corporate level strategy is a piece of that, but sometimes it goes a step further.

The corporate-level approach is where your choice might be indicative of the company's financial performance and the way through which earnings are generated. It's a multi-tiered business plan used by executives to identify, describe and accomplish particular business objectives.
