  Strategic business unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strategic Business Unit or SBU is understood as a business unit within the overall corporate identity which is distinguishable from other business because it serves a defined external market where management can conduct strategic planning in relation to products and markets.
A Strategic Business Unit can encompass an entire company, or can simply be a smaller part of a company set up to perform a specific task.
The SBU has its own business strategy, objectives and competitors and these will often be different from those of the parent company.
