Case B presents the diverse strategies to the students that Airtel has pursued to become one of the very profitable wireless telecommunications firms on the planet, regardless of the fact that it operates in among the poorest nations on Earth.

It's also relied heavily on outsourcing non-core functions and designed unique Value-Added Services (VAS) for its diverse customer base.

How will it be able to stay entrepreneurial agile, and flexible in the surface of the essential standardization that is crucial.
