Focus Business Strategy

STRATEC advises company managers, of both regulated and unregulated enterprises, on strategies that help to add value to their business. They must decide whether and how to enter into new markets and to make new investments (including mergers and acquisitions), how to respond to various forms of economic regulation, how to set prices and tariffs, and how to design and negotiate major new contracts.
