Strategy is about setting yourself apart from the competition. It's not a matter of being better at what you do - it's a matter of being different at what you do.
战略就是让自己在竞争中脱颖而出。这并不是要在你所做的事情上做得更好——而是在你所做的事情上与众不同。
Competitive strategy is about being different. It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value.
竞争战略就是要做到与众不同。要学会有意识地选择一系列不同的行动以创造独特的价值组合。
Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it's about deliberately choosing to be different.

The purpose of the corporation must be redefined as creating shared value, not just profit per se. This will drive the next wave of innovation and productivity growth in the global economy.
公司的目的必须重新定义为创造共享价值，而不仅仅是创造利润。这一目的将推动全球经济的下一波创新，提升生产力水平。

Businesses must reconnect company success with social progress. Shared value is not social responsibility, philanthropy, or even sustainability, but a new way to achieve economic success. It is not on the margin of what companies do but at the center. We believe that it can give rise to the next major transformation of business thinking.
企业必须将公司的成功与社会进步重新联系起来。共享价值不是社会责任，不是慈善事业，甚至不是可持续发展，而是一种获得经济成功的新方式。它不在公司所做的事情的边缘，而是在中心。我们相信它可以引发下一次商业思维的重大转变。
