Google Strategy analysis
Google's strategy development is influenced by trends, technology, competitors, and culture. The strengths of Google's approach include freedom and peer control, while weaknesses include difficulty controlling and diversification. Google's approach could be transferable to small organizations if implemented gradually due to Google's size enabling a sustainable unusual organizational structure.
Lenovo
The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of offshoring production to developing countries with cheap labor. The advantages include lower costs from cheap labor, access to new national markets, and the availability of a large low-educated workforce. However, there are also cultural, administrative, political, and economic distances to overcome that make coordination and understanding market needs more challenging when operating in foreign countries with different cultures and approaches.
Virgin Case Study
Virgin aims to diversify into various industries like music, television, airlines, rails, banking and health care. It wants to leverage its experience in start-ups, marketing and "green field" opportunities to improve performance in more established markets. However, it currently lacks a formal strategic plan and focuses on too many industries, which limits its ability to create a competitive advantage in any single industry.
Inside Dyson: a distinctive company?
Dyson is known for its unique engineering innovation and high-end vacuum cleaners and fans. It strategically manufactures products in Asia while protecting its intellectual property through patents. Though competitors could potentially imitate Dyson's products, doing so would be difficult due to Dyson's large investments in research and development and patents protecting its distinctive designs. Sir James Dyson's leadership has been key to building the company's reputation for innovation, though maintaining customer trust in Dyson products without its founder's vision remains a challenge.
Global forces in the Western European brewing industry
Global forces in the Western European brewing industry are analyzed using several frameworks. PESTEL analysis identifies key political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal factors. These include government regulations on consumption, rising costs, health trends, and technological innovations. A five forces analysis examines the competitive landscape, including the power of buyers and suppliers, threat of substitutes and new entrants, and competitive rivalry. Finally, the strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations are discussed for several major brewers, such as InBev, Greene King, and Tsingtao. Areas of focus include strategies, flexibility, brand portfolios, and expansion into new markets.
(Red) Case Study
Enlightened self-interest can both benefit business and alleviate poverty more than anti-poverty campaigns alone. While helping stakeholders and society, companies must ensure their socially-minded strategies are sustainable and make a real difference through efforts like building and improving communities, rather than just short-term donations or profit-focused initiatives.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina highlighted issues with the Department of Homeland Security's strategy that focused mainly on terrorism and lacked preparedness for natural disasters like hurricanes. The document discusses finding a better balance in strategic focus between terrorism and other potential catastrophes, as well as ensuring clear responsibility and control of resources.
