Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Corporate Strategy sets the organisation's overarching mission and goals. Business Strategy derives from it, outlining how those goals will be achieved. Functional strategies (like procurement or logistics) then support the Business Strategy. Therefore, Business Strategy alignment must be upward with Corporate Strategy. (Reference: CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, Strategic alignment hierarchy, p. 52)

I definitely recall that aligning with Corporate Strategy is crucial, but I wonder if there are other options that could also be relevant.

I feel like service strategy might be important too, but it seems more specific than what the Business Strategy should focus on.

I remember a practice question about aligning strategies, and I think it was about functional strategies. But I could be mixing it up.

I think the Business Strategy should align with the Corporate Strategy, but I'm not entirely sure. We discussed this in class.
