Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 1998. === ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study project reformulates an international strategy by following a systematic process of executive strategic tasks. These tasks are to determine the current strategy, the strategic intent, perform a gap analysis, scan the external and internal environment, determine the competitive advantage and strategy formulation in the international market, perform a situation analysis, potential alliances and the implementation of the strategy. The industry sector studied is the Airborne Surveillance market which is serviced by military and commercial product suppliers. A strong parallel is then drawn between this international strategy plan and champion companies for the new millennium. === AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie werkstuk herformuleer 'n internasionale strategie deur 'n sistematiese proses van strategiese take uit te voer.
