Abstract
There are important differences in the way the five strategic issues that were covered in Chapter 3 play out in different industries. This chapter will thus explore those differences, by looking at five examples, and discuss how each industry’s relationship with the environment has developed and look at where it is today. The apparent strategy of specific companies will also be looked at using the strategies introduced in Chapter 4.
