Sabic strategy revolves around its vision and the firm seeks to enhance the efficiency of its operations and services. Efficiency, in this case, is not about producing the products as required by the consumers. The other strength is its diversification through subsidiaries like the Sabic Innovative Plastics of the United States (SABIC IP) that deals in computers, office stuff, electronics, among many other items.

Since it is considered a public entity, there is likely to be increased cases of fraudulent operations. The opportunity for the firm is its increased presence in different nations of the world.
