"Strategy is the art of accomplishing more than has ever been achieved before with fewer resources than one would like to have at one's disposal."

Herb Rubenstein and Tony Grundy, authors of the book Breakthrough Inc - High Growth Strategies for Entrepreneurial Organizations cite the Young Americas Business Trust as an example of entrepreneurial organization based on strategic alliances, which includes "new people, new organizations, and new strategic partners as active participants and decision makers" as part of a high-growth strategy.

"Successful, high-growth strategies create a 'growth trajectory' that builds on itself and uses its own previous success as both the benchmark to compare future results and the fuel to achieve them. High-growth strategies are fluid because competition is fluid, the rugged landscape or economic terrain is fluid, the business rules are fluid and the resources that an organization has to work with are fluid."
