Innovation strategies provide the structure for the company to make plans and run the business smoothly. If the strategies are made properly and they can easily understood by the manager then then business will have a proper growth. If they don’t use the resources properly then they will face a deployment of the resources. The main aim of the strategies is to check the direction In which the activists are going to perform. They prepare the organizational goals very carefully and properly so they there wouldn’t be any misuse of the resources. Strategy is the way which ensures the organizational efficiency & effectiveness. Therefore, only effectiveness is not only important to put it to the best of their efficiency, but they must be used in that way which ensures the maximum contribution to the organizational objectives. Organization achieves the effectiveness when the strategies are made properly. In a business where the formal strategic management is followed, employees are satisfied by their roles. If the organization is running systematized then everyone knows how to give attention towards organizational goals, everyone knows how to do work and who has the right to make decisions then this type of system will help the organizational to achieve effectiveness and achievement at the individual level.

As I am going to develop strength-opportunity strategy which focuses is on the opportunities which I had analysed in my SWOT and PESTLE analysis.
As the Unichem pharmacy has many opportunities which are available in the market like growing economy of the country. Due to increase in the economy directly increase in the sale of products. Because of the growth rate in rising day to day due good reputation and good services provided by the Unichem pharmacy. Ok
According to my analysis the new innovation of online sale of products and services will very helpful because of favourable opportunities in the market. As the demand for the cosmetic and products is increasing day by day. So, the company can sale online which is very helpful in increasing business. The opportunity of order online and home delivery will attract more customer due savage of their time. Ok
As according to my analysis strengths of Unichem pharmacy are experienced and graduated staff, goodwill of the business, barriers of the entry of new comers and high earning pharmacy of all the local pharmacies. All these strengths of Unichem pharmacy are very helpful in new innovation of online sale of product and services. The company has to truned all staff how to use the new software. OK
In addition, pharmacy technicians must act within the legislative limits of their role as specified by the Medicines Regulations 1984 and must always act under the direct personal supervision of a pharmacist when dispensing or compounding. OK
Recommendation: – As Unichem pharmacy is doing very well in the market as compare to their competitors in the market. But I want to recommend some new more new innovation in the market like some innovations in the checkout processes like accept apple pays. As the pharmacy can increase the sale by providing deliveries to the rural areas where there is no store available. Ok
Conclusion: – As the opportunities available in the market and strengths of Unichem pharmacy are very helpful in adopt the changes by new innovations. Very short
