According to the corporate strategy, it is systematic planning of company achieving their future

services they are offering the customers (Felix, Rauschnabel and Hinsch, 2017).
The next factor of this model, power of suppliers, according to this company can know
the power of suppliers because in market various suppliers are available but it is completely
depended on the company that power is give to suppliers or company wants to control suppliers
by themselves. If company can give the power in hand of suppliers than company have to pay as
per the suppliers demand. Power of customer is the next factor of this model, according to this
