formulation

Explanation:
"with a primary focus on the formulation of commercial policies"
The "strategie" are best translated as policies in English and policies are "formulated" "set" and then "pursued".

As for startup, this would not be appropriate because a startup is a new company, l'avvio di una nuova attività, which is not the case here.

Notes to answerer

Asker: I thought of excluding the translation definizione=definition as monolingual dictiornary (macmillan) does not include it in business context. I'll consider it again thoroughly. ok, ok Cedric .. I'll come back soon with easier questions ;-). The point is the appropriate use of the term startup as a possible translation. In Italian definizione is usually overused and financial analysts like using (and misusing) words as "startup" "mission" and so on...

determination

Explanation:
I think all answers could be used, this is just another alternative:

determination of commercial strategies/policies or determining commercial policies

I agree with Jim, startup is not the correct word in this context.
