At Owen, we were inundated with a plethora of strategic definitions. Most of which were very academia sounding and never made much sense. In my opinion, the best definition was the simplest definition and it came from Professor Neta Moye who taught a course titled "The Strategic Alignment of Human Capital." Very simply stated she defined strategy as "how the firm wins customers."
