Which of the following is an important component for an enterprise strategy archetype of growth/acquisition as defined by COBIT 2019?

The enterprise strategy archetype is a design factor that describes how an enterprise uses

information and technology to achieve its goals and objectives. There are six enterprise strategy

archetypes defined in COBIT 2019: growth/acquisition; operational excellence; customer intimacy;

product leadership; data-driven; innovation-driven. Each archetype has different implications for the

governance and management of information and technology in terms of focus areas, processes,

practices, roles, structures, and metrics. One of the important components for an enterprise strategy

archetype of growth/acquisition is support for the portfolio management role with an investment

office. Growth/acquisition is a strategy archetype that emphasizes expanding market share, revenue,

customer base, or product range through organic growth or acquisition of other businesses or assets.

This strategy archetype requires effective portfolio management of information and technology

investments and initiatives that support business growth or acquisition objectives. Portfolio

management involves selecting, prioritizing, balancing, monitoring, evaluating, and optimizing

information and technology investments and initiatives based on their alignment with business

strategy, value delivery potential, risk exposure, resource availability, interdependencies, etc.

Portfolio management also involves ensuring that information and technology investments and

initiatives are integrated with business processes, systems, structures, culture, etc., especially in case

of mergers or acquisitions. Support for the portfolio management role with an investment office

means providing a dedicated function or unit that assists the portfolio manager in performing

portfolio management activities such as planning, analysis, decision making, reporting, etc., as well

as providing guidance, tools, methods, frameworks, standards, best practices etc., for portfolio

management5 Reference: 5: COBIT 2019 Design Guide: page 35-36 : COBIT 2019 Process Reference
