Strategy
Formulation
•Strategy formulation is the development of long-range plans
for the effective management of environmental

weaknesses.
•It includes defining the corporate vision, mission, specifying
achievable objectives, developing strategies, and setting
policy guidelines.

Vision of the
Company
• Vision of a company is rather a permanent statement articulated by the
CEO of the company who may be Managing Director, President, Chairman,
etc.
• The purpose of a vision statement is to
• Communicate with the people of the organization and to those who are in some
way connected or concerned with the organization about its very existence in terms
of corporate purpose, business scope, and the competitive leadership.
• Cast a framework that would lead to development of interrelationships between
firm and stakeholders viz. employees, shareholders, suppliers, customers, and
various communities that may be directly or indirectly involved with the firm.
• Define broad objective regarding performance of the firm and its growth in various
fields vital to the firm.

VISION
• Vision is a theme, which gives a focused view of a company.
• It is a unifying statement and a vital challenge to all different units of
an organization that may be busy pursuing their independent
objectives.
• It consists of a sense of achievable ideals and is a fountain of
inspiration for performing the daily activities.
• It motivates people of an organization to behave in a way, which
would be congruent with the corporate ethics and values

The major components of a vision statement
must consist the following:
•a) Mission of the firm in terms of product, markets, and
geographical scope and a way to attain a desired competitive
position.
•b) Clear identification of business units and their
interrelationship in terms of shared resources and concerns.
•c) Statement of corporate philosophy, corporate policy and
values

MISSION
• Mission statement is an enduring statement of
purpose that distinguishes on business from other similar
forms.
• A mission statement identifies the scope of a
firms operations in product and market terms

Business Mission
• The basic concept of mission of business is expressed in terms of
products, markets, geographical scope along with a statement of
uniqueness.
• At business levels the mission statement becomes sharper and
gets focused on specifics.
• It is detailing out of the vision statement that reflects the strategic
posture of a company.
• The mission statement is an expression of business purpose as well as
needed excellence to achieve a position of competitive leadership.

About mission
• The primary information contained in a mission statement should be the required
degree of excellence for assuming a position of competitive leadership, a clear
definition of the present position, and future expected scope in business.
• The description is usually broad and goals are achievable in reasonably short span of
a time frame of 3 to 5 years.
• Business scope is explicit in starting what is to be included and excluded.
• Purpose of defining business scope is to clearly enumerate specification of current
and future product, market and geographic coverage of business.
• Many firms suffer from marketing myopia and the contrast between the current
and future scope is an effective diagnostic tool to caution against the myopic position
of company.
• Information contained in mission statement should provide a way of selecting a
method of pursue a position of either leadership
or definite competitive advantageous positions.

Horizontal Integration
Horizontal integration is the process of a company
increasing production of goods or services at the same

process rather than relying on external contractors
or suppliers.

Vertical diversification is when you move up or down
the supply chain of your industry, and take control of
more stages of production or distribution. For
example, a clothing retailer might start manufacturing
its own fabrics, or a car maker might acquire a
dealership network.

Portfolio Matrix

The BCG Matrix is a strategic tool to provide an initial
screen of a businesses opportunities. By then determining
a strategy for each individual product of either hold,
divest, harvest, or build, the portfolio mix of a business
can be maintained in a profitable combination, for the
long-term.
The BCG matrix is a matrix designed by the Boston Consulting group back in
1970’s. It is a Matrix which helps in decision making and investments. It
divides a market on the basis of its relative growth rate and market share and
comes up with 4 Quadrants – Cash cow, Stars, Question marks and Dogs.
Products may be categorized in any one of the quadrants and the strategies
for these products are decided accordingly.

• market growth rate -
indicator of the
attractiveness of the
industry and
• relative market share is an
indicator of the strength of
the firm in that industry
relative to its competitors

GE MULTIFACTOR PORTFOLIO MATRIX
Also known as business attractiveness screen
developed in 1970s by the general electric of
USA
3 by 3 matrix which rates each SBU against two
critical variables - industry attractiveness and
business strength

Netflix continued its growth path
and rapidly expanded between
2012 and 2021:
● In 2012, the platform had 20
million subscribers, consumed
30% of all residential US
bandwidth, and launched in the
UK.
● By 2018, Netflix had 125 million
subscribers and a market value
of $151 B.
● In 2020, Netflix added 36 million
subscribers to its user base and
had a net income of $2.76 B.

industry
attractiveness
1. availability of inputs
2. overall market size
3. annual growth rate of the market
4. profitability
5. competitive intensity
6. technological requirements
7. capacity utilisation

business
strength
1. market share
2. market share growth rate
3. brand image
4. after sales service

The advantages of GE Matrix are:
● A simplified approach to portfolio analysis and
investment allocation decisions
● Highly consistent framework
● Applicable across different industries
● An efficient method of determining strategic paths for
multiple SBUs
● Helps measure and map the strategic position of SBUs
● Helps understand which businesses are making a profit
and which aren’t

The possible limitations of GE Matrix are:
● The GE Matrix is only a snapshot of your portfolio’s
performance
● It relies on subjective estimations of market attractiveness
and business strength
● Lacks nuance in differentiating between SBUs
● Teams may need to do more research before they can
make investment decisions
● May not be suited for emerging or rapidly-evolving
industries

2. DIVISIONAL LEVEL/BUSINESS LEVEL
STRATEGIES
Taking offensive or defensive actions to create a defendable
position in an industry, to cope successfully with the five
competitive forces and thereby yield a superior return on
investment for the firm.
michael porter - three general strategies
1.overall cost leadership
2.differentiation
3.focus - cost and differentiation

1. overall cost leadership
● aggressive construction of efficient scale facilities
● vigorous pursuit of cost reduction from experience tight
cost and overhead control
● avoidance of marginal customer accounts (Customers who
present an abnormal risk of non-payment)
● cost minimisation in areas like R & D , services, sales
forces, advertising and so on

cost leadership - risks
• other firm may imitate the cost leaders so that the cost leadership
is lost
• technological changes may result in the firm losing cost leadership
• cost focusers may achieve even lower cost in segments
• competition on bases other than cost may become more important

bajaj auto
reliance - lowest cost polyester producer in world

2.
differentiation
a firm seeks to be unique in its industry along some dimensions
that are widely valued by key buyers
common requirements for successfully carrying out the differentiation
strategy
