Example: Coca-Cola: Coca-Cola’s consistent  success  in the global beverage
          market can be linked to  its ability to  position itself strategically. By understanding
          its strong brand (strength), vast distribution network, and customer loyalty, Coca-
          Cola has maintained a dominant position. The company has also weathered external
          threats (such as changing health trends) by diversifying its product line and innovating
          with healthier alternatives, securing its position in the market long term.



           2. Porter’s Generic Strategies (Cost Leadership, Differentiation, Focus):
           Porter’s Generic Strategies emphasize how a company can create a stable position
          in the market through cost leadership, differentiation, or focus. The focus on securing
          a stable position, just like Dhruva, helps businesses establish long-term competitive
          advantages.

           Example:  IKEA:  IKEA’s strategy  of cost leadership by providing affordable,  well-
          designed furniture to a global market exemplifies Dhruva’s principles. By focusing on
          efficiency and economies of scale, IKEA has secured a strong position in the home
          furnishing market, enabling long-term stability and dominance in its sector.



           3. Resource-Based View (RBV) of Strategy:

           The Resource-Based View (RBV) emphasizes leveraging a company’s unique internal
          resources and capabilities to secure a competitive advantage. This concept aligns
          with Dhruva’s focus on fortifying resources and maintaining stability in the face of
          challenges.
           Example: Amazon: Amazon has built its stability through strategic investments in
          its vast logistics infrastructure and data-driven technologies (its internal resources).
          By leveraging its strengths—such as a massive fulfillment network, cloud computing
          (AWS), and customer loyalty—Amazon has solidified  its position as a global
          e-commerce leader and continues to expand into new markets, maintaining stability
          and growth over time.



           4. Balanced Scorecard:
           The Balanced Scorecard approach,  which measures organizational performance
          from multiple perspectives (financial, customer, internal processes, and learning &
          growth), aligns with Dhruva’s principles  by ensuring stability through a balanced
          approach to business operations.
           Example:  Toyota:  Toyota’s implementation  of the Balanced Scorecard helped it
          maintain stability by aligning its strategic goals with customer satisfaction, operational
          efficiency,  and  financial performance. By  continuously improving manufacturing
          processes and  maintaining  a  focus on  customer needs, Toyota  has managed  to
