Abstract
Strategy remains an elusive and intricate term heavily loaded with meanings and expectations that is difficult to define. As it would become obvious in the course of our collective study, strategy that sounds too multi-faceted when taken abstractly, becomes clearer if analyzed as an unalienable attribute of a specific business organization. It is particularly important in the historical perspective.
