Geographic
21
Major Competitive Industry
• the range of industries in which a company will operate.• some companies will operate in only one industry; some only in
a set of related industries; some only in industrial goods, consumer goods or services and some in any industry.
• Example; Siam Cement prefers to operate in the industrial market, Jollibee concentrates on the consumer market and Matsushita operates in both industrial and consumer market.
Products and application
• the range of products and applications a company will supply.• Sony, Panasonic and Samsung sell electronics from home
entertainment devices like television and DVD players to cell phones; while Sharp concentrates only on household items like washing machine and entertainment products but not cell phones.
22
Major Competitive Competence
• the range of technological and other core competencies that a company will master and leverage.
• Japan’s NEC has built its core competencies in computing, communications and components to support production of laptop computers, television receivers and handheld telephones.
Market-segment
• the type of market or customers a company will serve.• example; Porsche markets only expensive cars.
23
Major Competitive Vertical
• the number of channel levels from raw material to find product and distribution in which a company will participate.
• at one extreme are companies with a large vertical scope.• example; Japanese production keiretsus, for instance comprise
large automakers such as Toyota and their suppliers. Geographic
• the range of regions, countries or country groups in which a company will operate.
• at one extreme are companies that operate in a specific city or state.
• at the other are multinationals such as P&G and Sony, which operate in many countries.
24
Setting Company Objectives and Goals
The company’s mission needs to be turned into a detailed set of supporting objective for each level of management – management by objectives
25
Hierarchy of objectives for the International Minerals and Chemicals Corporation, Fertilizer Division
26
Defining The Business Industry is a customer satisfying process not
a goods producing process. It is important therefore how you redefine
your business. Example: Levitt encouraged companies to
redefine their business in terms of needs, not product.
Example: IBM redefined itself from a hardware and software manufacturer to a “builder of networks.”
27
Defining The Business Target market definition: focus on selling
a product/service.
Strategic market definition: everyone who might drink something to quench his/her thirst.
28
SBU It is a company within a companyThe business is differentiated from the
rest of the company It has its own set of competitors It is a separate profit centre
29
Designing The Business Portfolio
Guided by company’s mission statement and objectives, management must now decide what collection of business and products (business portfolio) will best fit the company’s strengths and weaknesses to opportunities in its environment. It must:i. Analyze the current business portfolio and decide which business
should receive more or less emphasize and resources.ii. Develop growth strategies for adding new products or businesses to
the portfolio
Business Portfolio Analysis
The major tool in strategic planning to evaluates the business making up the company
Identify the key businesses making up the company (the Strategic Business Units – SBUs)

The Boston Consultant Group (BCG) Growth-Share Matrix
31
The Boston Matrix The Boston Matrix:
A means of analysing the product portfolio and informing decision making about possible marketing strategies
Developed by the Boston Consulting Group – a business strategy and marketing consultancy in 1968
Links growth rate, market share and cash flow
What do these terms mean?
32
The Boston Matrix - STARS
Products in markets experiencing high growth rates with a high or increasing share of the market.
They are typically cash using SBUs cause cash is necessary to finance their rapid growth.
Eventually their growth will slow down, and they will turn into cash cows and become major cash generators supporting other SBUs.
Potential for high revenue growth
33
The Boston Matrix – Cash Cows
Cash Cows:◦ High market share◦ Low growth markets
– maturity stage of PLC
◦ Low cost support◦ High cash revenue –
positive cash flows◦ Uses to pay its bills
and support other SBUs that are cash using
34
The Boston Matrix - Dogs Dogs:
◦Products in a low growth market
◦Have low or declining market share (decline stage of PLC)
◦Associated with negative cash flow
◦May require large sums of money to support
Is your product starting to embarrass your company?
35
The Boston Matrix - ? Problem child Question mark ??? Or Problem Child:- Products having a
low market share in a high growth market
- Need money spent to develop them
- May produce negative cash flow
- Potential for the future?
Problem children – worth spending good money on?
36
Stars – high growth, high share SBUs. They are typically cash using SBUs cause cash is necessary to finance their rapid growth. Eventually their growth will slow down, and they will turn into cash cows and become major cash generators supporting other SBUs
Cash cows – low growth, high share SBUs. They produce a lot of cash that the company uses to pay its bills and support other SBUs that are cash using
Question marks – low share SBUs in high growth market. They require a lot of cash to maintain their share, let alone increase it. Management has to think hard about which question marks it should try to build into stars and which should be phased down or out
Dogs – low growth, low share SBUs. They may generate enough cash to maintain themselves but not promise to be large source of cash

FOUR ALTERNATIVES OBJECTIVES
Build – the objectives is to increase the SBUs market share, even forgoing short-term earnings to achieve this objectives. Building is appropriate for question marks whose share has to grow if they are to become stars
Hold – the objective is to preserve the SBUs market share. This objective is appropriate for strong cash cows if they are to continue to yield a large positive cash flow
Harvest – the objective is to increase the SBUs short-term cash flow regardless of the long-term effect. This strategy is appropriate for weak cash cows whose future is dim and from whom more cash flow is needed. It can also be used with question marks and dogs
Divest – the objective is to sell or liquidate the business because resources can be better used elsewhere. This is appropriate for dogs and for question marks that the company cannot finance
41

Competitive intensity – industries with many strong competitor are less attractive than industries with few weak competitors
Cyclicality – industries are less effected by the business cycle are more attractive than highly cyclical industries
Seasonality – industries with less seasonal movement are more attractive than highly seasonal industries
Scale economies – industries where unit costs fall with large plan size and distribution are more attractive than constants cost industries
Learning curve - industries where unit costs fall as management accumulates experience in production and distribution are more attractive than industries where management has reached the limits of its learning
44
The business strengths index factors

Assessing Growth Opportunities/Developing Growth Strategies
Involves determining future businesses and business directions the company should consider.
Major Classes of Growth Opportunities
I. INTENSIVE GROWTH
II. INTEGRATIVE GROWTH
III. DIVERSIFICATION GROWTH
A. Market penetration A. Backward integration A. Concentric diversificationB. Market development B. Forward integration B. Horizontal diversificationC. Product development C. Horizontal integration C. Conglomerate
diversification
52
Assessing Growth Opportunities
Intensive growth – company has not fully exploited the opportunities in its current products and market
• Market penetration – the company seeks increased sales for its current products in its current market through more aggressive marketing effort ex: increase purchase quantity, attract competitors’ customer and covert new prospects
• Market development – the company seeks increased sales by taking its current products into new market (new geographical markets, developing appropriate features and new institutional segments)
• Product development – the company seeks increased sales by developing closely related new or improved products for its current market (new and different product, create different regional version or cassette version)
53
Assessing Growth Opportunities
Integrative growth – makes sense if the industry is strong or the company can gain by moving backward, forward or horizontally in the industry. Three possibility exist
i. Backward integration – the company seeks ownership or increased control of its supply systems
ii. Forward integration – the company seeks ownership or increased control of its distribution systems
iii. Horizontal integration – the company seeks ownership or increased control of some of its competitors
54
Assessing Growth Opportunities
Diversification growth – makes sense if the industry does not present much opportunity for further company growth or if the opportunities outside the industry are superior. The company would identify fields that make use of its distinctive competences of help it overcome particular weaknesses. Three types of diversification strategies
i. Concentric diversification – the company adds new product that have technological or marketing synergies with the existing product line normally appeal to new classes of customer
ii. Horizontal diversification – the company adds new product that could appeal to its current customer though unrelated to its current product line
iii. Conglomerate diversification – the company adds new product that have no relationship to its current technology, products or market and appeal to new classes of customer
