To develop and sustain competitive advantage, companies must begin thinking about strategy in a more integrated way. First, strategies must be comprehensive: they need to have clear direction and a coherent product-market focus, and they must be supported by incisive operating capabilities and resources and robust organization cultures.

Third, all of the elements of strategy need to be orchestrated around a powerful core theme. This article shows how managers can develop each of these aspects of strategic integration.
