Status quo.

Explanation:

Status quo is an expression created in the 1700s that means "in the state of things". In a business strategy the status quo can be used to keep business processes as they are. In the case of Procter and Gamble's, maintaining the status quo is a strategy that does not include long-term vision, because even if products are revenue generating, the market is saturated, so it is important to adopt an innovation strategy to prevent potential negative economic factors that may arise.
