Abstract: This article considers how Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) had strategically positioned itself in the global iron ore industry through building a lowest cost leadership strategy as well as targeting the Chinese market. Critical to its success had been the effective management of a variety of key stakeholders. This article focuses upon three key periods of FMG's development: a) the construction period (July 2005-June 2007); b) the production period (July 2007-June 2009); c) the growth period (July 2009-present). The growth of the company under its charismatic leader Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest is also considered.
