Summary example for a typical study: Over the years, the ABC Co. has limited its potential growth

throughunder investment, limited strategic thrusts and a narrow

definitionOf itself compared to SAIC, CSC, and other high growth

companies ingovernment contracting. Historically, ABC has failed to

recognizeThe importance of accumulating core competencies in

selectedtechnologies to maintain a leadership position. This legacy

todayundermines ABC’s ability to compete and grow.
