STRATEGY & MANAGEMENT
Strategy & Management SUCCEEDING VALUE COMPETITION Strategy is about finding a way to succeed and then doing it.
INTENT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE SCOPE Strategy & Management What we will  not  do”  is at least as important as  “what we will do”
Strategy & Management “ Frontier” Lower Cost Differentiate Moving [A] to the  frontier  (“ operational  excellence ”)  vs   taking[B] a position  (“ strategic choice ”) [A] [B] You cannot be all things to all people
RESOURCES CAPABILITIES POSITION Strategy & Management Capabilities :  Ability to acquire and deploy resources to solve classes of problems and create value   !
CHOOSING CREATING KEEPING Strategy & Management You succeed only if you get to  keep some of the value created
DEMAND GROWTH COST OF INPUTS TECHNOLOGY - P&D Strategy & Management Ingredients in the PIE In trying for a bigger piece, you  could reduce the size of the total pie !
ISSUES INSTITUTIONS INTERESTS INFORMATION Strategy & Management Non-Market Issues: The 4 I’s Affect the size of the PIE  and/or  Affect its division?
PEOPLE FEATURES ARCHITECTURE PROCESSES & PROCEDURES CULTURE, VALUES AND ASSUMPTIONS Strategy & Management Culture: Set of beliefs that we share about why we are doing this!
Determinants  of  Performance Strategy Resources Capabilities Position Environment PIE Competitors Customers Suppliers Complementors Government Social ... Organisation People Features Activities PERFORMANCE Strategy & Management
General Management UNDERSTAND the basis for current performance IDENTIFY  threats & opportunities DEVELOP/SELECT   a strategy to meet these goals IMPLEMENT   IT Strategy & Management
General Management ADAPT   to changes DEVELOP   new capabilities SHAPE   the environments Performance is the result of the fit between the actions and the strategic context in which they are taken. Strategy & Management
CHOICES S.C.A. RENEWAL GOALS General Management Strategy & Management The choices a firm makes about how it acquires and deploys its assets are the main way in which it influences its performance.   This is what the firm ultimately controls!
STYLE “ Captain of the ship”  to which extent strategy is “top down”  is strategy within organisations is really planned at all,  General Management Strategy & Management In small firms, the ultimate responsibility for strategy typically rests with the senior general management. The “top down” view can be of only limited applicability to a multi-business enterprise.
Perspectives STRATEGY PROCESS IS COMPLEX “ L OWER ” MANAGEMENT MATTERS! LUCK MATTERS! Strategy & Management A declaration by top management that the firm will change does not make change happen.
Conclusion An exceptional rate of return cannot be earned by the average firm . The competitive interaction quickly dissipates any profits. In final analysis, people make the difference. Strategy & Management
THINKING vs PLANNING
Strategic planning  strategic thinking. Strategic thinking is about synthesis. Planning represents a calculating style of management, not a committing style Thinking vs Planning Life is larger than our categories.  Real strategic change requires inventing new categories, not rearranging old ones.
For strategic planning, the grand fallacy is this :  because analysis encompasses synthesis, strategic planning is strategy making. This rests on 3 fallacious assumptions : prediction is possible strategist can be detached from the subjects of their analysis strategy making process can be formalised Thinking vs Planning
O PERATIONAL  E FFECTIVENESS Performing similar activities  better  than rivals perform them.  It includes but is not limited to efficiency .   S TRATEGIC  P OSITIONING   Performing  different  activities from rivals or performing similar activities in  different ways. Thinking vs Planning
TRADEOFFS MORE IMPLIES LESS Thinking vs Planning No tradeoffs means no need for choice, no need for strategy.  Any good idea could and would be quickly imitated.  Performance would once again depend wholly on operational effectiveness.
LEADERSHIP & INTENT
Leadership & Intent Leardership is the ability to elicite extraordinary performance from ordinary people
STRATEGIC INTENT FOCUS MOTIVATION ROOM SUSTAINING ENTHUSIASM CONSISTENTCY Leadership & Intent
STRATEGIC FIT LEVERAGING RESOURCES FORESEEABLE PATTERN Leadership & Intent The essence of strategy lies in creating tomorrow’s competitive advantages faster than competitors mimic the ones you possess today.
COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE CREDIBILITY MILESTONES Leadership & Intent Competitive suicide - pursuing both differentiation and cost - is exactly what many competitors strive for.
Strategic intent assures consistency in resource allocation over the long term. Clearly articulated corporate challenges focus the efforts of individuals in the medium term. Competitive innovation helps reduce competitive risk Leadership & Intent
BUSINESS STRATEGY
RELATIONSHIPS CHOICE OF ACTIONS VISION MISSION VALUES PURPOSE Business Strategy Useful complements to strategy but generally different from and very imperfect substitutes for strategy.
GOALS SCOPE COMPETITIVE   ADVANTAGE LOGIC Business Strategy Strategy contains the core argument for why and how the firm will succeed.
CONSISTENCY CONSONANCE ADVANTAGE FEASIBILITY Business Strategy Four broad criteria for evaluating strategy are: A strategy that fails to meet one or more of these criteria is strongly suspect.
COMMUNICATING CLARITY CO-ORDINATION INCENTIVES EFFICIENCY Business Strategy Top management may believe that its strategy is so “unique” that every competitor would copy it, if only they knew it!
MISSION VISION  VALUES Business Strategy A vision is not always necessary for strategy  It is never sufficient
Business Strategy
TO COMPETE!
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE CUSTOMER INTIMACY  PRODUCT LEADERSHIP OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY To Compete ! Less focused companies must do far more than simply tweak existing processes to gain this advantage.
` BUSINESS PROCESSES. O PERATIONAL  E FFECTIVENESS C OMPETITIVE  A DVANTAGE THE CEO Competing on Capabilities To Compete ! Strategic advantages built on capabilities are easier to transfer geographically than more traditional competitive advantages.
` SPEED CONSISTENCY ACUITY AGILITY INNOVATIVENESS Competing on Capabilities To Compete ! Capabilities-driven companies conceive the organisation as a gigantic loop that begins with identifying the needs of the customer and ends with satisfying them.
TO ORGANISE
PEOPLE ARCHITECTURE PROCESSES CULTURE To Organise The boundaries of the firm and the nature and intensity of incentives (explicit and implicit, objective and subjective, financial and intrinsic) are major determinants of the location on the frontier.
Trade-off Initiative Co-operation More entrepreneurial More co-operative To Organise

ADVANTAGE & CHANGE
Strategic Dissonance Aligning corporate strategy and strategic action is a key top management responsibility .  Inevitably, strategic actions will begin to lead or lag strategic intent .  Dissonance is strategic when it signals impending industry or corporate transformation . Advantage & Change The most fundamental and least readily visible source of strategic dissonance derives from the divergence between the changing basis of competition in the industry and the firm’s distinctive competencies, the latter becoming less relevant for competitive advantage.
Strategic dissonance signals a strategic inflection point . These changes create a “valley of death” for the incumbents because they materially affect their profitable growth trajectories . How to tell signal from noise ? Strategic Dissonance Advantage & Change When spring comes, snow melts first at the periphery!
Strategic Dissonance Advantage & Change GROWTH TIME S TRATEGIC  I NFLEXION  P OINT “ SIP” C OMPETITIVE  A DVANTAGE  P ERIOD “ CAP”
DENIAL  ESCAPE OR DIVERSION ACCEPTANCE  PERTINENT ACTION Strategic Dissonance:  Don’t dismiss it  Advantage & Change Diversion often involves major acquisitions unrelated to the core business that faces a SIP.
GLOBALISATION
Being able to develop and implement an effective global strategy is the acid test of a well managed company. GLOBAL STRATEGY  or “ MULTILOCAL STRATEGY” Globalisation How global is their industry and how global should their business strategy be?
Global strategy levers Market participation Products/services Location of value adding activities Marketing Competitive moves Globalisation A business that has a fully globalised strategy would make maximum use of each of the five global strategy levers.
THE CORE STRATEGY  DEVELOPING  INTERNATIONALISING  GLOBALISING Globalisation Briefly, a multilocal strategy treats competition in each country or region on a stand alone basis, while a global strategy takes an integrated approach across countries and regions.
Benefits and Costs of Globalisation Global Organisation Factors Industry Globalisation Drivers Global Strategy Levers The Globalisation Triangle Globalisation
The Globalisation Forces GOVERNMENT DRIVERS Globalisation MARKET DRIVERS COMPETITIVE DRIVERS COST DRIVERS INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION POTENTIAL
Countries need to be selected in terms of their potential contribution to globalisation benefits also .  The ideal is a standardised core product that requires a minimum of local adaptation. The value chain is broken up, and each activity may be conducted in a different country. Market participation Products  & services Activity location In multilocal In a global Countries are selected on the basis of their stand-alone potential in terms of revenues and profits .
