Strategy Strategic change involves
change in strategical planning

premium pricing strategy to set
price of product. Later, to cope
up with increasing competition
it adopted competitive pricing
strategy. This approach

customers. Motive of shifting

sales of business and improve
its customer base.

different departments of
business are assigned tasks to

communication provided
effective communication
within departments but it
resisted fluent communication
among different departments.

Logitech International shifted
to strategy of pyramid
communication. It provides
proper chain of command for
transformation of information.
