27. Mission
Mission:
The ‘fundamental objective(s) of an entity expressed in general terms’.
(CIMA)
The mission therefore is the basic purpose of the organisation and
tries to identify the reason it exists. It is important that the
organisation is able to communicate its mission both internally and
externally, which requires the creation of a mission statement.
‘The mission says why you do what you do, not the means by which you do
it.’ - Peter Drucker
Mission statement:
A ‘published statement, apparently of the entity’s fundamental
objective(s). This may or may not summaries the true mission of the
entity’. (CIMA)
The mission statement outlines the organisation’s mission and
summarises the reasoning and values that underpin its operations.
28. Mission Statement
We are a global family with a proud heritage passionately committed toproviding
personal mobility for people all around the world. - (Ford Motor Company)
Our Mission is:
To refresh the world in mind, body and spirit.
To inspire moments of optimism through our brands and actions.
To create value and make a difference everywhere we engage. - (Coca
Cola)
To create lasting solutions to poverty, hunger and social injustice. - (Oxfam)
Google’s mission is to organise the world’s information and make ituniversally
accessible and useful. - (Google)
Vision Statement
Vision statement identifies the ideal position that the company wants to reach
within the medium to long-term.
A just world without poverty. - (Oxfam)
Our vision is a world without Alzheimer’s. - (Alzheimer’s Association)
To make people happy. - (Disney)
To become the world’s leading consumer company for automotiveproducts
and services. - (Ford Motor Company)
29. Differences between Vision and Mission
Basis Mission Statement Vision Statement
About A Mission statement talks about HOW you
will get to where you want to be. Defines the
purpose and primary objectives related to
your customer needs and team values.
A Vision statement outlines WHERE
you want to be. Communicates both
the purpose and values of your
business.
Answer It answers the question, “What do we do?
What makes us different?”
It answers the question, “Where do
we aim to be?”
Time A mission statement talks about the present
leading to its future.
A vision statement talks about your
future.
Function It lists the broad goals for which the
organization is formed. Its prime function is
internal; to define the key measure or
measures of the organization's success and
its prime audience is the leadership, team
and stockholders.
It lists where you see yourself some
years from now. It inspires you to
give your best. It shapes your
understanding of why you are
working here.
30. Differences between Vision and Mission
Basis Mission Statement Vision Statement
Change Your mission statement may change, but it
should still tie back to your core values,
customer needs and vision.
As your organization evolves, you might
feel tempted to change your vision.
However, mission or vision statements
explain your organization's foundation, so
change should be kept to a minimum.
Developing
a statement
What do we do today? For whom do we
do it? What is the benefit? In other words,
Why we do what we do? What, For
Whom and Why?
Where do we want to be going forward?
When do we want to reach that stage? How
do we want to do it?
Features of
an effective
statement
Purpose and values of the organization:
Who are the organization's primary
"clients" (stakeholders)? What are the
responsibilities of the organization
towards the clients?
Clarity and lack of ambiguity: Describing a
bright future (hope); Memorable and
engaging expression; realistic aspirations,
achievable; alignment with organizational
values and culture

38. Objectives
Objectives are more specific and seek to translate the mission into a series of mile posts
for the organisation to follow.
To be useful for motivation, evaluation and control purposes, objectives shouldbe
SMART:
Specific – clear statement, easy to understand
Measurable – to enable control and communication down the organisation
Attainable – it is pointless setting unachievable objectives
Relevant – appropriate to the mission and stakeholders
Timed – have a time period for achievement.
Typical issues this gives rise to objectives are as follows:
Objectives drive action, so it is important that goal congruence is achieved and the
agreed objectives do drive the desired strategy.
It can be difficult (although necessary) to priorities multiple, oftenconflicting
objectives.
This is made more complex when some objectives are hard to quantify(e.g.
environmental impact).
There will be a mixture of financial and non-financial objectives.
There is always the danger of short-termism.
Objectives will vary across stakeholder groups and a strategy may satisfysome groups
but not others.

2. It includes the function and the responsibilities of the top level
management related to the organizational problems, which affects
the success of the total enterprise.
3. It includes the resources by the help of which the organization can
achieve its goals.
45. Features of Business Policy
An effective business policy must have following features-
1. Specific- Policy should be specific/definite. If it is uncertain, then the
implementation will become difficult.
2. Clear- Policy must be unambiguous. It should avoid use of jargons and
connotations. There should be no misunderstandings in following the
policy.
3. Reliable/Uniform- Policy must be uniform enough so that it can be
efficiently followed by the subordinates.
4. Appropriate- Policy should be appropriate to the present organizational
goal.
5. Simple- A policy should be simple and easily understood by all in the
organization.
6. Inclusive/Comprehensive- In order to have a wide scope, a policy must be
comprehensive.
7. Flexible- Policy should be flexible in operation/application. This does not
imply that a policy should be altered always, but it should be wide in scope
so as to ensure that the line managers use them in repetitive/routine
scenarios.
8. Stable- Policy should be stable else it will lead to indecisiveness and
uncertainty in minds of those who look into it for guidance.
46. Functions of Business policy
1. Objectives of the company are defined and classified.
2. The planning function is done systematically.
3. Business policy clearly states the amount of authority that the subordinates
have. It also specifies the limits of the authority of the subordinates. Thus it
tightens the authority on one hand and provides initiatives to the
subordinates.
4. Subordinates can use the policy directives intelligently and carefully. It
also helps the managerial personnel to perform the functions of control and
coordination successfully.
5. Policy acts as the main foundation for evaluation and determining the
quality of action and decisions taken by executives

Suppliers are also essential for the success of an
organization. Raw material is deadly needed to
complete the process of production. The supplier enjoys
the power when….
1. If there are only one supplier or few suppliers who
supply that particular raw material.
2. If it costly for the organization to move from one
supplier to another (Known as switching cost).
3. If there is no other substitute for their product.

Substitute products are goods and services from outside
a given industry that perform similar or the same
functions as a product that the industry produces.
Product substitutes present a strong threat to a firm
when substitute product’s price and quality are in
greater close to the competitors’products.
So, in order to avoid the effect of substitute products, the
competitor firms should differentiate product in different
dimensions like quality, price etc. to reduce substitute
attractiveness.

94. INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT-Organization’s Value Chain
Value chain analysis (VCA) is a process where a firm identifies its primary and
support activities that add value to its final product and then analyze these activities
to reduce costs or increase differentiation.
Value chain represents the internal activities a firm engages in when transforming
inputs into outputs.
Value chain analysis is a strategy tool used to analyse internal firm activities.
Its goal is to recognize, which activities are the most valuable (i.e. are the source of
cost or differentiation advantage) to the firm and which ones could be improved to
provide competitive advantage.
In other words, by looking into internal activities, the analysis reveals where a firm’s
competitive advantages or disadvantages are.
95. Organization’s Value Chain
The firm that competes through differentiation advantage will try to perform its
activities better than competitors would do.
If it competes through cost advantage, it will try to perform internal activities at
lower costs than competitors would do.
When a company is capable of producing goods at lower costs than the market price
or to provide superior products, it earns profits.
M. Porter introduced the generic value chain model in 1985.
Value chain represents all the internal activities a firm engages in to produce goods
and services.
VC is formed of primary activities that add value to the final product directly and
support activities that add value indirectly.
96.
97. The two levels of value chain analysis
To conduct a value chain analysis, businesses need to split the chain into two levels:
Primary activities
Supporting activities
A primary activity is anything that directly impacts the input, output or distribution
of products or services. These business activities include:
Inbound/outbound logistics: Receiving, storing and distributing products, goods
and services. This activity takes into account practical processes like storage and
warehousing, deliveries, stock and transport needs and costs.
98. The two levels of value chain analysis
Operations: Anything that falls under the banner of machinery costs, product
assembly and packaging.
Sales & Marketing: Promoting, advertising, sales and marketing. The specific
activities your company undertakes to boost product awareness, increase trust,
improve business relationships and close deals.
Service: From customer support to your finance team, anything that is required to
maintain quality control and quality assurance during and after a sale.
99. The two levels of value chain analysis
The second level, supporting activities, takes into account:
Research & Development/Technology development: Any budget that’s been
allocated to innovative activities such as developing and enhancing new and existing
products and services.
Procurement: Any materials or input that allow a company to undertake its primary
activities, such as machinery, consumables and infrastructure.
Human resource management: All processes and systems relating to managing the
people in your organization, such as recruiting, training and retention.
Infrastructure: Departments like finance, planning, IT and legal.

Term to Understand…..
Strategic Analysis implies the examination of the present condition of
a business and consequently developing an appropriate business
strategy.
Strategic Business Unit (SBU) is a unit of the company that has a
separate mission and objectives and that can be planned
independently from the other businesses. An SBU can be a company
division, a product line or even individual brand.
Business Portfolio is the collection of businesses and products that
make up the company. The best business portfolio is one that fits the
company’s strengths and helps to exploit the most attractive
opportunities.
105. Strategic Leadership-Actions- Human Capital- Social Capital
Global trends and technological disruption present new
leadership challenges. The market is constantly changing, so we
must adapt. Leaders in agile organizations are change-oriented
and willing to make transformational changes. That’s where
strategic leadership comes in.
Strategic leadership is defined as the ability to influence others to
voluntarily make day-to-day decisions that enhance the long-term
viability of the organization while maintaining its short-term
financial stability. (W. Glann Rowe, 2001).
For a strategic leader, strategy and leadership should go hand-in-
hand. They must be able to see the big picture and focus on
results more than the methods. In today’s disruptive environment,
such leaders ensure that their company maintains a competitive
edge.
106. Skills of Strategic Leaders
As per Ireland and Hitt (1999), there are six components of
strategic leadership enhancing organizational performance:
Determining The Firm’s Purpose or Vision
Developing Human Capital
Exploiting and Maintaining Main Strengths
Emphasizing Ethical Practices
Establishing Balanced Organizational Controls
Sustaining an Effective Organizational Culture
107. Pros and Cons of Strategic Leadership
Strategic Leadership Actions and Success of Leaders
The leadership actions are designed to apply managerial, executive, political and
ethical behaviors to satisfy the organizations need for control, continuity and
change, therefore inducing followers to join in a common purpose.
Strategic Actions are projects or programs outside of an organization's day-to-
day operational. activities that are meant to help the organization achieve its
strategy. They are such things as. instituting change, creating capability to do
something new or better, or improving performance.
3 C’s of Strategic Action
109. Human Capital and Social Capital
The key difference between human capital and social capital is
that human capital refers to Intangible assets- knowledge, skills,
experience, etc. possessed by different individuals whereas
social capital refers to the resources we gain from being a
social network.
The key distinction between human and social capital is that the
former focuses on individual agents, and the latter on
relationships between them and the networks they form.
Human capital allows an economy to grow.

PortfolioAnalysis
Business Portfolio is the collection of businesses and products
that make up the company. The best business portfolio is one
that fits the company’s strengths and helps to exploit the most
attractive opportunities.
As pa part of portfolio Analysis, A company must…..
Analyze its current business portfolio and decide which
business should receive more or less investment.
Develop growth strategies for adding new products and
businesses to the portfolio.
Also should know, when to stop product or business unit.
120. Portfolio Management and Balancing
Portfolio management is the selection, prioritisation and
control of an organisation's programmes and projects, in line
with its strategic objectives and capacity to deliver. The goal is
to balance the implementation of change initiatives and the
maintenance of business-as-usual, while optimising return on
investment.
Portfolio balancing is the process of organizing the prioritized
components into a component mix that, when implemented, is
best aligned with, and best supports the organization's
strategic plan. A balanced business portfolio is a product
strategy in which a firm maintains an even combination of
new, growing and mature products.

131. Limitations of BCG Matrix:
High market share does not always leads to high profits.
There are high costs also involved with high market share.
Growth rate and relative market share are not the only
indicators of profitability. This model ignores and overlooks
other indicators of profitability.
CONCLUSION:
This technique is particularly useful for multidivisional or
multiproduct companies. The divisions or products
compromise the organisations “business portfolio”. The
composition of the portfolio can be critical to the growth and
success of the company.

Grand Strategy Matrix
• Grand strategy matrix is the instrument for creating
alternative and different strategies for the organization.
• All companies and divisions can be positioned in one of the
Grand Strategy Matrix’s four strategy quadrants.
• The Grand Strategy Matrix is based on two dimensions:
competitive position and market growth.
• Data needed for positioning SBUs in the matrix is derived
from the portfolio analysis.
• This matrix offers feasible strategies for a company to
consider which are listed in sequential order of
attractiveness in each quadrant of the matrix.

Quadrant I (Strong Competitive Position and Rapid Market Growth)
• Firms located in Quadrant I of the Grand Strategy Matrix are in an excellent
strategic position.
• The first quadrant refers to the firms or divisions with strong competitive base
and operating in fast moving growth markets.
• Such firms or divisions are better to adopt and pursue strategies such as market
development, market penetration, product development etc.
• The idea behind is to focus and make the current competitive base stronger.
• In case such firms possess readily available resources they can move on to
integration strategies

Quadrant II (Weak Competitive Position and Rapid
Market Growth)
• Firms positioned in Quadrant II need to evaluate their present approach to
the marketplace seriously.
• Although their industry is growing, they are unable to compete
effectively, and they need to determine why the firm’s current approach is
ineffectual and how the company can best change to improve its
competitiveness.
• The suitable strategies for such firms are to develop the products,
markets, and to penetrate into the markets.
• To achieve the competitive advantage or becoming market leader
Quadrant II firms can go into horizontal integration subject to availability
of resources.
• However if these firms foresee a tough competitive environment and
faster market growth than the growth of the firm, the better option is to go
into divestiture of some divisions or liquidation altogether and change the
business.

Quadrant III (Weak Competitive Position and Slow
Market Growth)
• The firms fall in this quadrant compete in slow-growth industries and
have weak competitive positions.
• These firms must make some drastic changes quickly to avoid further
demise and possible liquidation.
• Extensive cost and asset reduction (retrenchment) should be pursued first.
• An alternative strategy is to shift resources away from the current
business into different areas.
• If all else fails, the final options for Quadrant III businesses
are divestiture or liquidation.

• Finally, Quadrant IV businesses have a strong competitive position but
are in a slow-growth industry.
• Such firms are better to go into related or unrelated integration in order to
create a vast market for products and services.
• These firms also have the strength to launch diversified programs into
more promising growth areas.
• Quadrant IV firms have characteristically high cash flow levels and
limited internal growth needs and often can pursue concentric, horizontal,
or conglomerate diversification successfully.
• Quadrant IV firms also may pursue joint ventures

evaluates the major strengths and weaknesses in the
functional areas of a business, and it also provides a
basis for identifying and evaluating relationships
among those areas.
The IFE Total Weighted Scores Can be calculated as follows,

Internal Factor Evaluation Total Weighted Score
The IFE Total Weighted Scores Can be calculated as follows,
• List key internal factors (Strengths & Weaknesses) as identified in the
internal-audit process. List strengths first and then weaknesses.
• Assign a weight that ranges from 0.0 (not important) to 1.0
(all-important) to each factor. Regardless of whether a key factor is an
internal strength or weakness, factors considered to have the greatest
effect on organizational performance should be assigned the highest
weights. The sum of all weights must equal 1.0.
• Assign a 1 to 4 rating to each factor to indicate whether that factor
represents a major weakness (rating = 1), a minor weakness (rating =
2), a minor strength (rating = 3), or a major strength (rating = 4). Note
that strengths must receive a 4 or 3 rating and weaknesses must receive
a 1 or 2 rating. Ratings are thus company-based, whereas the weights in
Step 2 are industry-based.
• Multiply each factor’s weight by its rating to determine a weighted
score for each variable.
• Sum the weighted scores for each variable to determine the total
weighted score for the organization.

External Factor Evaluation Total Weighted Score
An External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix allows strategists to
summarize and evaluate economic, social, cultural, demographic,
environmental, political, governmental, legal, technological, and
competitive information.
EFE Matrix indicates whether the firm is able to effectively take
advantage of existing opportunities along with minimizing the external
threats. Similarly, it will help the strategists to formulate new strategies
and policies on the basis of existing position of the company.
An External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix can
be developed in five steps:

External Factor Evaluation Total Weighted Score
An EFE total weighted Scores can be developed in five steps:
• List key external factors as identified in the external-audit process.
List the opportunities first and then the threats.
• Assign to each factor a weight that ranges from 0.0 (not important) to
1.0 (very important). The weight indicates the relative importance of
that factor to being successful in the firm’s industry. Opportunities
often receive higher weights than threats, but threats too can receive
high weights if they are especially severe or threatening. The sum of
all weights assigned to the factors must equal 1.0.
• Assign a 1 to 4 rating to each key external factor to indicate how
effectively the firm’s current strategies respond to the factor, where 4
= the response is superior, 3 = the response is above average, 2 = the
response is average, and 1 = the response is poor: Ratings are based on
effectiveness of the firm’s strategies. Ratings are thus company-based,
whereas the weights in Step 2 are industry-based. It is important to
note that both threats and opportunities can receive a 1, 2, 3, or 4.
• Multiply each factor’s weight by its rating to determine a weighted
score.
• Sum the weighted scores for each variable to determine the total
weighted score for the organization.

or
Strategic Condition Matrix
The ADL model from Arthur D. Little is a portfolio
management method that is based on product life cycle
thinking. The ADL portfolio management approach uses the
dimensions of environmental assessment and business strength
assessment. The environmental measure is an identification of the
industry's life cycle. The ADL Matrix consists of two important
dimensions: the competitive position and industry maturity
(maturity of the product).
The ADL Matrix allows you to manage your portfolio by
making judgements around the overall market and industry
life cycle, along with your own placement within that market.
It can be a quick tool for creating a list of your products.
