INTRODUCTION
SYNOPSIS This document provides the tools, steps and
2. processes to achieve an in
depth 360º analysis and all the variables affecting the strategic
plan &
business plan making for your COURSE PROJECT: TRAVEL
ZEN .
It is also a tool to define implementation and follow up.
Analytical methods and tools are key to ensure consistency and
the
appropriate level of rigour is applied to the analysis.
The tools must help to answer the question that the organisation
has
asked. The aim of the analytical tool is to sharpen the focus of
the
analysis and to ensure a methodical, balanced approach.
One of the key skills of a strategic analysis is understanding
which
analytical tools or techniques are most appropriate to the
objectives
of the analysis. We are providing an overview of some of the
more
commonly used strategic analysis tools:
• Swot Analysis
• Boston Consulting Group (BCG)
• Pest Analysis
• Porter´s Analysis
• The 4 corner´s Analysis
• Value chain
• War Gaming

3.1. PEST ANALYSIS
PEST analysis is a scan of the external
macro-environment in which an
organisation exists. It is a useful tool for
understanding the political, economic,
socio-cultural and technological
environment that an organisation
operates in. It can be used for
evaluating market growth or decline,
and as such the position, potential and
direction for a business.
Political factors. These include
government regulations such as
employment laws, environmental
9. regulations and tax policy. Other
political factors are trade restrictions
and political stability.
Economic factors. These affect the cost
of capital and purchasing power of an
organisation. Economic factors include
economic growth, interest rates,
inflation and currency exchange rates.
Social factors. These impact on the
consumer’s need and the potential
market size for an organisation’s goods
and services. Social factors include
population growth, age demographics
and attitudes towards health.
Technological factors. These influence
barriers to entry, make or buy decisions
and investment in innovation, such as
10. automation, investment incentives and
the rate of technological change.
PEST factors can be classified as
opportunities or threats in a SWOT
analysis. It is often useful to complete a
PEST analysis before completing a
SWOT analysis.
It is also worth noting that the four
paradigms of PEST vary in significance
depending on the type of business. For
example, social factors are more
obviously relevant to consumer
businesses or a B2B business near the
consumer end of the supply chain.
Conversely, political factors are more
obviously relevant to a defence
contractor or aerospace manufacturer.

Understanding the competition is
essential to corporate strategy planning
How competitive is your market? What
are your competitors doing, likely to be
doing? Evaluate the following:
Who are your competitors?
Who are your major competitors,
how big are they, what is their
market share?
What reputation do they have?
How do they distribute their
products?
What is their marketing like - do
20. they diversify?
What are their key strengths and
weaknesses?
Which is their key benefit?
Competitors´s Marketing Mix

C. THE 4 CORNER´S ANALYSIS
Developed by Michael Porter, the four
corner’s analysis is a useful tool for
analysing competitors. It emphasises that
the objective of competitive analysis
should always be on generating insights
into the future.
The model can be used to:
25. • develop a profile of the likely
strategy changes a competitor might
make and how successful they may be
• determine each competitor’s
probable response to the range of
feasible strategic moves other
competitors might make
• determine each competitor’s
probable reaction to the range of
industry shifts and environmental
changes that may occur.
The ‘four corners’ refers to four
diagnostic components that are essential
to
competitor analysis: future goals; current
strategy; assumptions; and capabilities.

D. WAR GAMING
War games are a useful technique for
identifying competitive vulnerabilities
and misguided internal assumptions
about competitors’ strategies.
Simulations of competitive scenarios
are used to explore the implications of
changes in strategy in a ‘no risk’
environment. They also encourage new
ways of thinking about the competitive
context. War games are often
particularly useful for organisations
27. facing critical strategic decisions.
A typical business war game has the
following characteristics:
•an off-site venue
•senior managers representing a cross-
functional mix of participants
•two to three full days’ duration
•four or more teams of between four
to eight people each. Each team
represents either the sponsoring
company or one of its competitors
•preparation time in which each team
receives a dossier describing the
company they are representing, and its
strengths and weaknesses
28. It also has the following characteristics:
• Financial goals
• Corporate culture
• Organisational structure
• Leadership team backgrounds
• External constraints
• Business philosophy
• How the business creates value
• Where the business is choosing to
invest
•Relationships and networks the
business has developed
Management assumptions
• Company’s perceptions of its
strengths and weaknesses
• Cultural traits
• Organisational value
• Perceived industry forces
• Belief about competitor’s goals
Capabilities
• Marketing skills
• Ability to service channels
• Skills and training to work force
• Patents and copyrights
• Financial strength
• Leadership qualities of CEO
29. 14

•A structure where games comprise
several ‘moves’ or decision rounds.
Each move consists of a fixed,
predetermined amount of time ranging
from a couple of months to several
years. During each move, teams make
and carry out strategic decisions. After
each move, teams assess their positions
relative to other teams.
•A ‘control team’ of facilitators who
serve as the board of directors. They
ensure that strategic plans are
acceptable and legal. They also
facilitate the debrief, in which
participants review the merit of each
30. strategy

3.14. PORTERS´S FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
Porter's five forces of competitive
position analysis was developed in 1979
by Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business
School as a simple
Framework for assessing and evaluating
the competitive strength and position of
31. a business organisation.
This theory is based on the concept that
there are five forces which determine the
competitive intensity and attractiveness
of a market. Porter’s five forces helps to
identify where power lies in a business
situation. This is useful both in
understanding the strength of an
organisation’s current competitive
position, and the strength of a position
that an organisation may look to move
into.
Strategic analysts often use Porter’s five
forces to understand whether new
products or services are potentially
For instance: industry best practices & features analysis
Analysis
32. 15
Nº 6
profitable. By understanding where
power lies, the theory can also be used to
identify areas of strength, to improve
weaknesses and to avoid mistakes.
The five forces are:
1. Supplier power. An assessment of
how easy it is for suppliers to drive up
prices. This is driven by:
• the number of suppliers of each
essential input
• the uniqueness of their product or
service
• the relative size and strength of the
supplier
• the cost of switching from one
33. supplier to another.
2. Buyer power. An assessment of how
easy it is for buyers to drive prices
down. This is driven by:
• the number of buyers in the market
• the importance of each individual
buyer to the organisation
• the cost to the buyer of switching
from one supplier to another.
If a business has just a few powerful
buyers, they are often able to dictate
terms.
3. Competitive rivalry. The key driver is
the number and capability of
competitors in the market. Many
competitors, offering undifferentiated
products and services, will reduce market
34. attractiveness.
4. Threat of substitution. Where close
substitute products exist in a market, it
increases the likelihood of customers
switching to alternatives in response to
price increases. This reduces both the
power of suppliers and the attractiveness
of the market.
5. Threat of new entry. Profitable
markets attract new entrants, which
erodes
profitability. Unless incumbents have
strong and durable barriers to entry, for
example, patents, economies of scale,
capital requirements or government
policies, then profitability will decline to a
competitive rate.

3.15. SWOT Analysis
What are the barriers, risks and competitive threats?
A SWOT analysis is a simple but widely
used tool that helps in understanding
the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats involved in a
project or business activity.
It starts by defining the objective of the
project or business activity and
identifies the internal and external
factors that are important to achieving
that objective. strengths and
weaknesses are usually internal to the
organisation, while opportunities and
36. threats are usually external. Often
these are plotted on a simple 2x2
matrix.
• Supplier concentration
• Importance of volume
to supplier
• Cost relative to selling
price
• Buyer switching cost
• Buyer propensity to
substitute
• Product differentiation
• Number of competitors
• Size of competitors
• Industry growth rate
• Differentiation
• Exit barriers
• Buyer information
• Buyer volume
• Buyer price sensitivity
• Buyer switching costs
• Bargaining leverage
e.g.
• Switching costs
• Economies of scale
37. • Learning curve
• Capital requirements
• Patents
17
Nº 6
When using SWOT analysis, it should be
ensured that:
• Only specific, verifiable statements are
used. An example might be ‘price is
£1.50 per unit lower than competition’
rather than ‘good value for money’.
• Internal and external factors are
prioritised so that time is spent
concentrating on the most significant
factors. This should include a risk
assessment to ensure that high risk or
high impact threats and opportunities are
clearly identified and are dealt with in
priority order.
38. • Issues identified are retained for later
in the strategy formation process.
• The analysis is pitched at the project or
business activity level rather than
at a total company level, which may be
less actionable.
• It is not used in exclusivity. No one
tool is likely to be completely
comprehensive, so a mixture of option-
generating tools should be used.

Strategy can be developed on many
levels—for example, national, regional,

48. commonly developed at the business
unit level.Business unit strategy entails
knowing what business you are (or
should be) in, understanding the
current and future sources of
competitive advantage in that business,
and then defining a plan to capture and
sustain an unassailable relative
advantage over competitors.Several
questions are central to the
22

development of a business unit
strategy:
• How well are we positioned in
relation to competitors?
49. • What can we do to enhance our
relative advantage?
• What can we learn from

tomorrow?
• What specific moves will
position us for greater success?
• Can our current business model
take us into the future?
• Developing a strategic response
to moves by traditional or emerging
competitors
• Understanding future risks and
their implications for strategy

4.7. VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS
Value chain analysis is a comprehensive
technique for analysing an organisatio n’s
source of competitive advantage.
Before making a strategic decision, it is
important to understand how activities
within the organisation create value for
customers. One way to do this is to
conduct a value chain analysis.
52. Value chain analysis is based on the
principle that organisations exist to create
value for their customers. In the analysis,
the organisation’s activities are divided
into separate sets of activities that add
value. The organisation can more
effectively evaluate its internal
capabilities by identifying and examining
each of these activities. Each value adding
activity is considered to be a source of
competitive advantage.
The three steps for conducting a value
chain analysis are:
1. Separate the organisation’s
operations into primary and support
activities.
Primary activities are those that physically
create a product, as well as market the
53. product, deliver the product to the
customer and provide after-sales
support. Support activities are those that
facilitate the primary activities.
2. Allocate cost to each activity.
Activity cost information provides
managers with valuable insight into the
internal capabilities of an organisation.
3. Identify the activities that are
critical to customer’s satisfaction and
market success.
There are three important considerations

in evaluating the role of each activity in
the value chain.
• Company mission. This influences the
choice of activities an organisation
undertakes.
• Industry type. The nature of the
industry influences the relative
importance of activities.
• Value system. This includes the value
chains of an organisation’s upstream and
downstream partners in providing
products to end customers.
