Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
The world of search engine optimization (SEO) is buzzing with discussions after Google confirmed that around 2,500 leaked internal documents related to its Search feature are indeed authentic. The revelation has sparked significant concerns within the SEO community. The leaked documents were initially reported by SEO experts Rand Fishkin and Mike King, igniting widespread analysis and discourse.

3. Business economics
•
This unit develops the content of units 1 and
examines how the pricing of, and nature of
competition between, firms is affected by the
number and size of market participants. At the
end of this unit, students should be able to
analyse the pricing and output decisions of
firms in different contexts. They should also be
capable of making an appraisal of government
intervention aimed at promoting competitive
markets.

6. What is market structure?
•
Market structures are the organisational and
other characteristics of a market that influence
how a firm behaves, especially in terms of
setting price and determining output.
•
We tend to focus on those characteristics of a
market which affect the degree of competition
between firms and their pricing decisions
•
Traditionally we emphasise:
1. The number and size distribution of buyers and
sellers
2. The existence or absence of barriers to entry and
exit and number of potential new entrants
Adapted from
tutor2u™
7. Structural characteristics of a market
• The number of firms and extent of overseas competition
• The market share of the largest firms (concentration ratio)
• The nature of costs in the short and long run
• The degree to which an industry is vertically integrated up
and down the supply chain
• The extent of product differentiation / homogeneity
(similarity)
• The price and cross price elasticity of demand for different
products within the market
• The number and size of buyers of the industry’s product
• The turnover of customers (“market churn”) – affected by
brand loyalty and the effects of advertising and marketing
• Access to market information
• Level of inter-dependence of firms actions
Adapted from
tutor2u™
8. 3.9 Market structures - types
• Types vary from NO competition to PERFECT
COMPETITION
– Pure Monopoly – one firm

– Oligopoly – a few firms
– Monopolistic Competition – many firms with some
individual advantages
– Perfect Competition – many very similar firms

10. 3.9 Market structures - types
• PJV’s thinking
– Monopolistic Competition is often called Imperfect
Competition, whereas grammatically anything that
is not perfect is imperfect including monopoly
– Both a partially open door and a fully open door
are NOT shut.
– Q: When is a door, not a door?
– Ans: When it is a piece of fruit cake!
Adapted from
tutor2u™
13. The conduct / behaviour of firms
• How does market structure affect pricing, output and other
decisions of businesses within the market
• Are there dominant firms?
• Is there evidence of anti-competitive behaviour?
– Collusive pricing agreements
– Predatory pricing?
– Vertical restraint?
• How important is non-price competition?
• Is there interdependence between firms
• Do businesses behave strategically to retain profits by
deterring the entry of new competitors in the long run?
Adapted from
tutor2u™
14. Performance indicators
•
Trends in real price levels over time
•
Size of business profits – evidence of excess profits?
•
How much spending on research and development – does
it lead to a fast pace of technological advance and
innovation?
•
How much spending on human capital, does it lead to rising
labour productivity in the industry?
•
Does the conduct of firms give rise to efficient outcomes?
1. Allocative efficiency
2. Productive efficiency
3. Dynamic efficiency

Adapted from
tutor2u™
20. The feedback critique
• Performance can affect structure
– Top performing firms will gain market share at
expense of rivals
– This gives them more market power
– Fine line between market dominance and economic
efficiency?
• Market conduct affects structure
– E.g. decisions about research and development and
marketing
• Strategic behaviour of firms especially in oligopoly makes it
difficult to rely on the structure conduct performance model
• The theory of contestable markets is a development of this
approach and stresses the dynamic nature of market
competition especially when a market is open
