Business Management: when a company can be defined as mature?

As mentioned above, the strategic maturity is measured by what your own development system is consistent with market opportunities. Obviously, the assessment includes the budget, products and services.

Several studies have identified 11 types of strategic maturity. In the three lower levels they are including so-called disinterested companies, those undifferentiated and underperforming ones. In the first case it comes to businesses that survive for only a fluke. Who do not have a clear vision of how to create value and that, consequently, do not pursue any strategic objective. In the second case it is quite competitive companies which, however, are not designed to have an identity that will differentiate from the competition. In the third case we are instead to front companies set strategically so effective that, however, follow too many directions, unable to adapt to the best route.

Then there are companies tied to the charges and those which, while maintaining good performance, can not become great.

Four other types of strategic maturity refer to those companies that have indeed developed a coherent system, but struggling to run it.

These are businesses too volatile to changes in the business world, those tied to resources, companies that do not have appropriate knowledge and skills and established companies “subversive”, as potentially on top, but too far from the current reality of the world of work.
