Abstract: Abstract This chapter will highlight the fact that “Focus” is not just “Focus” by identifying five different types of focus choices. Older companies began in a given industry sector and remained loyal to that sector, adopting an industry focus. Past experience in a given sector can lead to business focus. For many firms, core competence served as the basis for building an entire company. Some companies define their focus strategy around a given technology. Focusing on a single market provides, and necessitates, in-depth knowledge of the operating conditions of a company’s customers.
