Is the strategic business unit a thing of the past?
Companies are increasingly leaving it behind to pursue
new modular opportunities for growth.

rotation means more companies must perform a balancing
act—breaking apart value chains while still making sure
the new interfaces fit with the corporate strategy. 2007
