PORTER DEFINES CORPORATE STRATEGYAS DECIDING :-
* Which businesses to be in &
* How to run them
![Page 3: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Fundamental Questions inCorporate StrategyHow is economic value created through
multi-market activity?
Why should these activities be undertaken inside the corporation rather than through contracts, joint ventures or other institutional arrangements?
How must the corporation be structured and coordinated to realise the benefits of its multi-market activity
![Page 4: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
PORTER IDENTIFIES (1987) FOUR CONCEPTS CENTRAL TO CORPORATE STRATEGY
1. Portfolio management
2. Restructuring
3. Transferring skills
4. Sharing activities
![Page 5: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Proposition: the large, multi-business corporation is (too often) a value destroyer
Why?
• diversification often takes place for the wrong reasons
• the real synergies are hard to define ex ante
• companies are ineffective in organising to achieve their stated strategic intent
• the problem lies within the corporate centre
![Page 6: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Porter stresses that in a successful corporate strategy
THE CENTRE MUST ADD VALUE
Otherwise business units are better off left alone
![Page 7: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

A BAD MISSION STATEMENT
“We aim to be excellent in all we do, for our customers, employees, shareholders and the community.
We aim to provide a first class service, to improve profitability, to be an excellent employers, and to play an active part in the community.”
![Page 10: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MISSION STATEMENT OFAECI - CYANIDE DIVISION (A good one)
We are in the business of manufacturing and distributing cyanide. We believe strongly that safety is paramount in production, storage and handling of the product as well as in security and protecting the environment’ We also believe in the strategic importance of cyanide to the country.
Our primary market is supplying the Southern African gold industrywith an effective means of gold extraction. Secondary and potential markets are in cyanide derived chemicals
These markets will be reached by direct selling backed by technical expertise and service.
We seek to earn sufficient return on investment to encourage the corporation to reinvest in the business.

RESOURCING:- Internal development
- Merger and acquisition
- Cooperation/Joint development
![Page 18: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Targets and Bidders: Who win in M&A?
Winners (in most cases)
• The CEO and TMT of the bidder (they get rich)• The shareholders of the target (they get rich)
Losers• The CEO and TMT of the target (they get fired)• the shareholders of the bidder (they face a decline in EPS)
![Page 19: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Porter’s (1987) research suggested that approximately
• 70% of acquisitions made in unfamiliar industry sectors fail
• 60% fail even in familiar sectors
• 50% of strategic alliances fail
• 40% of new internal developments fail
Doing anything new is risky!

STYLE AND STRUCTURE
Goold and Campbell (1987) tried to find the best way to run a diversified Corporation. They researched 16 large UK companies.
They concluded that they fell into three groups:-
1. BOC, BP, CADBURY, LEX, STC AND UB (SP)
2. COURTAULDS, ICI, IMPS, PLESSEY, VICKERS (SC)
3. BTR, FERRANTI, GEC, HANSON & TARMAC (FC)

IN ADDITION SOME CORPORATE CENTRES ADD VALUE THROUGH THEIR OWN ACTIONS EG
* Unique corporate values
* External actions
* Astute m&a identification and negotiation
* Charisma eg unusual CEO
![Page 32: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Campbell identifies four ways in which a corporate centre or parent can create (or destroy) value
1.Stand alone influence eg strategy development, resource allocation
2. Linkage influence eg developing synergies between business units
3. Central services provision eg IT
4. Corporate development activities eg alliances, acquisitions
![Page 33: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
He warns that his research indicates that the probability of value destruction by a parent is greater than that of value creation
To create value therefore a parent must :-
1. Build on insights on how to create value
2.Understand what is the company’s ‘heartland’
3. Identify parenting opportunities
4. Assess accurately how to grasp those opportunities
Only then will the parent avoid destroying value
![Page 34: Lect11 12 Corporate Strategy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/563dba20550346aa9aa2f054/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
