But vs Only???
A company competing in a single product market has BUT one business-level strategy.
How come the above sentence don't use ONLY like this:
A company competing in a single product market has ONLY one business-level strategy.
Is there any rule?
Grazie

The use of "but" in this way is more literary and it would be safer to use "only" in most contexts, including business English. For this reason, I was surprised to see "but" used in this context but it's not wrong.

They're the same in this case. No rule. You could also use 'just' in this sentence.
