- 5. Introduction… Michael Porter is a professor at Harward Business School. A firm’s success in strategy rests upon how it positions itself in respect to its environment. Michael Porter has argued that a firm's strengths ultimately fall into one of two headings: cost advantage and differentiation. By applying these strengths in either a broad or narrow scope, generic strategies result:, Cost leadership Differentiation, and Focus (Cost Focus and Differentiation Focus)
- 6. Cost Leadership • Superior profits through lower costs. • E.g. : Wal-Mart, Micromax phone Differentiation • Creating a product or service that is perceived as being unique “throughout the industry” • E.g. : Mcdonald, Nokia, Samsung Focus • Concentrating on a limited part of the market. • Cost Focus • Differentiation Focus • E.g. : PepsiCo, Apple I-phone, Vertu Generic Strategies

- 9. Cost Leadership Strategy Aiming to become Lowest Cost Producer The firm can compete on the price with every other industries and earn higher unit profits. Cost reduction provides the focus of the organisation’s strategy. Targets a broad market. Competitive advantage is achieved by driving down costs. A successful cost leadership strategy requires that the firm is the cost leader and is unchallenged in this position. Especially beneficial : where customers are price sensitive

As technology improves, the competition may be able to leapfrog the production capabilities, thus eliminating the competitive advantage. It could lead to a damaging price wars. There might be difficulty in sustaining cost leadership in the long run. A firm following a focus strategy might be able to achieve even lower cost within their segment.
- 15. Differentiation Strategy A differentiation strategy calls for the development of a product or service that offers unique attributes that are valued by customers. Customers perceive the product to be different and better than that of rivals. The value added by the uniqueness of the product may allow the firm to charge a premium price for it.

Type : Public Industry : Restaurants Founded : McDonald’s Corporation Founder(s) : Richard and Maurice McDonald,( McDonald’s restaurant concept ) Ray Kroc,( McDonald’s Corporation founder ) JV in India : Vikram Bakshi & Amit Jatia Headquarters : Oak Brook,Illinois,US Area served : Worldwide Key people : James A. Skinner (Chairman & CEO)
- 19. Number of Restaurants : +33,000 in 118 countries Customers : appr. 67 million / day Products : Fast Food ( hamburgers , chicken , french fries , soft drinks , coffee , milkshakes , salads, desserts , breakfast ) McDonald's customers are of all classes, but largely working, and people of all ages. McDonald’s strove to meet a customer wait time at no more than one minute in line and 30 seconds at the counter.
- 20. McDonald's understood that the parent was making the purchasing decision, most likely based solely on price. What McDonald's marketing executives did was ingenious. They put a toy in with the hamburger, french fries, and Coke. Then they gave it a special name, calling it a Happy Meal. Then they marketed it to the kids. McDonald's knows that some customers go to its stores to take a quick break from their day's activities and not because McDonald's was able to make their food ten seconds faster than a competitor. So McDonald's marketing executives then put together the phrase, “Have you had your break today?” They've taken competing on price right out of the picture,” says Greshes. “They bring you quality, convenience, service, and value — and they make you feel like you are getting a break in your hectic day.
- 21. Success Mantra… Access to leading scientific research. Highly skilled and creative product development team. Strong sales team with the ability to successfully communicate the perceived strengths of the product. Corporate reputation for quality and innovation.
- 22. Risks Involved… Involves higher costs. Customers might become price sensitive and choose on price rather than uniqueness. Customers may no longer need the differentiation factor. Imitation by competitors and changes in customer tastes. Rivals pursuing a focus strategy may be able to achieve even greater differentiation in their market segments.
- 23. Focus Strategy The focus strategy concentrates on a narrow segment and within that segment attempts to achieve either a cost advantage or differentiation. The premise is that the needs of the group can be better serviced by focusing entirely on it. A firm using a focus strategy often enjoys a high degree of customer loyalty, and this entrenched loyalty discourages other firms from competing directly. Because of their narrow market focus, firms pursuing a focus strategy have lower volumes and therefore less bargaining power with their suppliers However, firms pursuing a differentiation-focused strategy may be able to pass higher costs on to customers since close substitute products do not exist.
