Netflix must engage in constant strategic planning to stay afloat.

Explanation:

A Strategy is a general plan that is made with the goal of achieving something, and the word came to be use in Ancient Greece, referring to military matters.

As armies in war, companies compete against each other, sometimes as fiercely, in the market, and the streaming service market is very competitive

Because of this, Netflix has to plan new strategies on a constant basis in order to respond to a chainging enviroment. For example, when other companies start pulling their shows out of Netflix, Netflix decides to offer more original shows in order to cover the losses.
