Activity system is a flow chart of company's main strategies supported with sub categories showing the differentiation of the company with competitors. Activity system of any company describes the situation of strategy the company is adopting.

it is your main strategies.. but to implement these strategies.. whole activity system is designed. Like when a company talks about lowering manufacturing cost. There is a set of activities that company needs to perform in order to implement it. like In house Manufacturing, operational excellence. 100 % suppliers access things like that

well first u need to take the most common actvities performed by ur company n then following these activities u come up with the sub activities,functions or after affets which come out as a conclusion of performing those main activities.......

Amir is quite right and I agree to him but here are my points;

- These are set of activities which represent company's strategy

- First, there are main sets, linked to each other as a "cause and effect" and then each one has sub sets as a "consequence"

- These activities also highlight, if applicable, "the straddling position"

I hope that I am not wrong...

PIck any company Faiqa. You will notice that they have a set of activities that they perform as part of their day to day operations. Now put each of these activities in a circle. Next draw a line between related activity circles. And behold you have an activity system.

Please let me know in class if this explanation worked for you. Also, i'm curious...honestly: did you do your reading?

Regards
Mannan.
