For this analysis, an MNC has been chosen, named as British American Tobacco who has the operation in more than fifty-five countries. The strategic analysis has been performed in three separate stages. This study reveals that despite the overall decline in traditional cigarette sales, the company has managed to remain profitable and with positive cash flows in recent years. So far, focusing its investments and strategy on the development of next-generation products is adequately rewarding and promising, as BAT remains the leader in this new growing market with total revenue of approximately £400m. These achievements were made possible thanks to the company’s ability to attract-retain skillful employees from all around the world and the implementation of a strong and global Information System (“Tao”). This study is mainly based on the UK market although BAT has the operation in over 55 countries. Moreover, data has been drawn from the published sources. In the future, there is a scope to produce and use various primary data. Before providing the recommendations for the future strategic choices and direction of the company, it is important to have an integrative understanding of the BAT’s external and internal environment, the role of the stakeholders, identifying the SWOT and to explore the core competencies, which can generate competitive advantages for British American Tobacco.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
