State The Strategy of Hindustan Uniliver N Your Own Words

Hindustan Unilever formulates strategy at three levels - corporate, operational, and business. At the corporate level, the board of directors and chairman are responsible for strategic management. Operational management strategy is overseen by the management committee. The business level strategy is formulated by the divisional committee consisting of executive directors and heads of functions. While aligning with Unilever's global strategies, HUL also tailors its strategies to the specific needs of the Indian business environment. Shifting strategic decision making from India to Unilever's headquarters may not prove advantageous as Indian consumers see HUL as an Indian company and domestic competitors may be better attuned to the Indian consumer mindset.
