Chapter 2 the external environment- opportunities threats industry competitio...Dr. Lam D. Nguyen
The document discusses analyzing a firm's external environment including the general, industry, and competitor environments. It describes Porter's five forces model for industry analysis and how it is used to assess the intensity of industry competition. Strategic groups and competitor analysis are also covered, with the importance of gathering competitor intelligence ethically emphasized. Competitor analysis allows firms to understand competitors' objectives, strategies, assumptions and capabilities.
The document discusses a firm's internal environment, focusing on resources, capabilities, and core competencies. It defines these terms and explains how firms can identify their core competencies using criteria like being valuable, rare, costly to imitate, and efficiently exploited. Firms then use tools like value chain analysis to evaluate their internal strengths and weaknesses and determine potential areas for outsourcing or developing new capabilities. Maintaining core competencies while avoiding that they become rigid is important for sustained competitive advantage.
This document compares and contrasts the input-output (I/O) model and resource-based view (RBV) model for achieving above-average returns. The I/O model focuses on analyzing external opportunities and developing internal skills to capitalize on them. It involves finding an attractive industry and implementing a strategy aligned with that industry. The RBV model instead focuses on a firm's unique resources and capabilities and finding environments where they can be exploited. It involves identifying core competencies, competitive advantages, and selecting strategies that leverage a firm's strengths against external opportunities. Both models aim to earn superior returns but differ in their strategic focus - either external environments or internal resources and capabilities.
The document discusses strategic management and environmental scanning. It provides details on:
1) Conducting an environmental scan to understand external opportunities and threats through collecting information on early signals of change, competitor strategies, and market trends.
2) Performing an internal analysis using tools like SWOT and SAP to understand organizational strengths, weaknesses, and how to match capabilities to opportunities/threats.
3) Analyzing the industry using Porter's 5 Forces model and examining strategic groups within the industry to understand competition and customer segments.
The key goal is to understand the external environment and internal capabilities to develop strategies that position the organization for success. Regular scanning and analysis is needed to adapt to changing conditions.
This chapter introduces key concepts in strategic management including strategy, competitive advantage, and the strategic management process. It describes two models for achieving above-average returns: the industrial organization model which focuses on external industry factors, and the resource-based model which emphasizes a firm's internal resources and capabilities. The chapter also discusses the changing competitive landscape driven by globalization and technology, and how vision, mission, and stakeholders influence strategic decisions.

Summary of Chapter 1 What is Strategy - Understanding Strategic ManagementDonny Sitompul
This chapter discusses key concepts in strategic management including strategy, strategic management, and different perspectives on strategy formulation. Strategy aims to achieve competitive advantage by meeting customer needs better than rivals. Strategic management involves analyzing, formulating, and implementing strategy. There are two main perspectives on strategy - the design school which views strategy as planned and deliberate, and the learning school which sees strategy as more emergent and adaptive.
This document discusses the concept of blue ocean strategy, which focuses on creating new market space and making competition irrelevant. It provides an overview of key aspects of blue ocean strategy:
- Blue ocean strategy is based on over a decade of research studying over 150 strategic moves spanning 30 industries. It aims to create uncontested market spaces to make competition irrelevant.
- Blue ocean strategy covers both formulation and execution of strategy. It offers frameworks and tools to make blue ocean strategy a structured and learnable system.
- Blue ocean strategy involves exploring outside of traditional industry boundaries using the "Six Paths" framework to unlock new value and opportunities. Case studies are presented to illustrate how companies have achieved blue ocean strategy.
This document provides an overview of strategic management concepts. It defines key terms like strategic competitiveness, competitive advantage, and above-average returns. It describes models for achieving returns, like utilizing resources and capabilities. It also outlines the strategic management process of analyzing internal/external environments to formulate strategies to implement and achieve strategic competitiveness.
Blue Ocean Strategy - Part 2 - AdvancedPavan Kumar
Getting the strategic sequence right is important for blue ocean strategy formulation. Companies need to first focus on creating compelling buyer utility through new value proposition before considering price. The strategic sequence involves first evaluating if there is a compelling reason for mass customers to buy the product or service by fulfilling new customer needs. Next, companies should assess if their strategic price point will be attractive enough to gain customer adoption by being significantly lower than industry prices. Finally, potential adoption hurdles or resistance points need to be identified to overcome organizational challenges during execution. Following this strategic sequence of buyer utility, price, and adoption hurdles mitigates risks for blue ocean strategy formulation and execution.
Supply chain management involves planning and managing the flow of goods and services from raw materials to end customers. The key objectives are improved customer value and satisfaction to gain a competitive advantage. It has evolved from separate functional silos to integrated internal and external networks. The basic elements are demand forecasting, planning, procurement, production, warehousing, transportation, distribution and returns. Strategic fit among the supply chain design, capabilities and competitive strategy is important for high performance. Challenges to achieving fit include increasing product variety, shorter lifecycles, demanding customers and globalization.

Blue Ocean Strategy - Making Competition Irrelevant - Part 1Regalix
Every company today is in search of sustained profitable growth and competitive advantage; companies are competing hard amongst each other for customers, market share, cost leadership, value leadership etc. Despite best efforts no one’s winning because it’s still a zero – sum game for the industry because the size of the market is fixed and everybody is doing same or similar things resulting in negligible differentiation or innovation.
The Blue Ocean Strategy is the art and science of making the competition irrelevant by creating uncontested market spaces. It is the mantra for winning in the marketplace without fighting the war. It argues that the best business strategy is to stop competing against competitors and create a blue ocean opportunity – a marketplace without any competition. Blue Ocean Strategy focuses on value innovations and lifting buyer values that could result in making conventional competition irrelevant and extend the industry boundaries and thereby creating un contested market space by tapping the untapped market space or by creating demand.

The document discusses various tools and methods for analyzing industries, including qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative approaches include analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of an industry and its competitive landscape over the industry life cycle. Quantitative approaches include analyzing employment data, emolument (pay) data, and input-output relationships to understand industry performance and risk over time. The goal of industry analysis is to identify investment opportunities and understand how industries will perform in the future economic environment.
The document summarizes a seminar on supply chain planning theory and best practices. It includes an agenda for the event covering topics like demand planning, replenishment planning, production planning, buffer stocks, and industry trends.

The presentation aims to explain key supply chain planning concepts and challenges through case studies and examples.
This document discusses analyzing a firm's external environment including opportunities and threats. It covers the general environment, industry environment, and competitive environment. The industry environment influences competitive actions and includes factors like new entrants, supplier and buyer power, substitutes, and rivalry among competitors. Analyzing competitors allows predicting their actions. The industrial organization model suggests above average returns are determined by industry characteristics outside a firm like the attractiveness of the industry and implementing an appropriate strategy for that industry.

The document describes an environmental due diligence tool called the EcoValuScreen developed by The Carlyle Group, Environmental Defense Fund, and The Payne Firm. The tool is designed to help investment professionals identify opportunities to improve portfolio company operations, reduce costs, and increase value through environmental management initiatives. It involves scanning target companies for relevant business activities, identifying operational projects with environmental and financial benefits, assessing project impacts and priorities, and integrating initiatives into acquisition management plans. The goal is to expand traditional due diligence beyond risk mitigation to uncover value creation opportunities through environmental performance.
1. The document discusses international strategy, including the benefits of international diversification such as increased market size and greater economies of scale.

Strategy Ppt External Env[1].C2.Hitt,Ireland&HokkisonAurnob Roy
This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 2 of the textbook "Strategic Management: Concepts and Cases". It discusses analyzing a firm's external environment, including the general environment, industry environment, and competitor analysis. The general environment consists of 6 segments: demographic, economic, political/legal, sociocultural, technological, and global. The industry environment is influenced by 5 competitive forces: threat of new entrants, power of suppliers, power of buyers, threat of substitutes, and rivalry among existing competitors. Firms must scan, monitor, forecast, and assess factors in the external environment to identify opportunities and threats.
Corporate governance is used to monitor and control managers' strategic decisions by establishing order between a firm's owners and its top-level managers. It became necessary due to the separation of ownership and managerial control in modern corporations. Agency theory holds that conflicts can arise between principals (owners) and agents (managers) if their goals are not properly aligned. Various internal mechanisms like ownership concentration, boards of directors, and executive compensation seek to mitigate these agency problems and ensure managers make decisions that reflect owners' interests.

Tables compare costs of alternative locations. Selection criteria for location and significance of choosing the right spot are explained. External environmental analysis and Porter's five forces model are also summarized.
This document discusses cooperative strategies between firms. It defines a cooperative strategy as firms working together to achieve a shared objective. There are three main types of strategic alliances: joint ventures, equity strategic alliances, and non-equity strategic alliances. Cooperative strategies can be used at the business and corporate level between firms and allow firms to pursue mutual interests such as developing new products/services or entering new markets. However, cooperative strategies also carry risks such as partners failing to contribute as agreed or misunderstanding each other's intentions. These risks must be managed through detailed contracts, monitoring, and developing trusting relationships between partners.

Module 2 - Energy Efficiency: Accounting and reporting considerationsPaul Brown
The carbon pricing scheme has several tax implications that the tax function needs to consider:
- Deductibility of carbon unit purchases and timing of deductions. The tax function needs to understand when carbon costs can be deducted.
- Tax cost of free carbon units provided to EITE industries. The tax function needs to determine the tax value of these free units.
- Tax treatment of importing international carbon units after the fixed price period. The tax implications of using different unit types needs to be understood.
- Impact on fuel costs and fuel tax credits/excise exemptions due to the effective carbon price on fuels. Reductions in these credits/exemptions impact the tax liability.

The document discusses organizational strategy at different levels. It explains that sustainable competitive advantage is achieved through resources that are valuable, rare, imperfectly imitable and non-substitutable. The strategy-making process involves assessing need for change, conducting a situational analysis, and choosing alternatives. Corporate strategies include portfolio strategies like diversification and grand strategies like growth. Industry strategies consider five competitive forces and involve positioning through cost leadership, differentiation or focus.
1. The document discusses business-level strategies and defines them as actions taken to provide customers value and gain a competitive advantage by exploiting core competencies in specific product markets.
2. It explains the three key issues of business-level strategy: what good or service to offer customers, how to manufacture or create it, and how to distribute it in the marketplace.
3. The document outlines the three generic business-level strategies of cost leadership, differentiation, and focused strategies, and discusses how firms can gain competitive advantage through low costs or product uniqueness under each strategy.
This document discusses analyzing a company's external environment including opportunities and threats from the general environment, factors from the industry environment like barriers to entry, power of suppliers and buyers, and substitute products, and analyzing competitors.

The goal is to obtain a series of temporary advantages to achieve sustained long-term advantage.
This document discusses job evaluation, which is an assessment of the relative worth of various jobs based on factors like qualifications, skills, responsibilities, and complexity of tasks. It aims to determine which jobs should receive higher pay and to create a defensible pay structure. The document outlines several common job evaluation methods, including ranking, classification, point evaluation, factor comparison, and market comparison. It also lists typical factors considered in job evaluation and the steps involved in conducting an evaluation.
Job evaluation is the process of determining the relative worth of jobs within an organization. It involves analyzing and comparing job characteristics like responsibilities, skills required, decisions made, and importance to the organization. The objectives are to establish a fair wage structure, minimize pay discrimination, and ensure equal pay for equal work. Common methods include ranking, classification, and point systems which assign numerical values to job factors. An effective job evaluation helps reduce pay inequalities, supports selection and specialization, standardizes compensation, and facilitates integrating new roles into the pay structure.
This document discusses job evaluation and the point method process. It involves [1] analyzing jobs to determine tasks, skills and qualifications, [2] identifying compensable factors like responsibility and decision making, [3] assigning point values to degrees of each factor, [4] evaluating benchmark jobs to determine point totals, [5] collecting salary data on benchmarks, and [6] using regression to calculate appropriate pay for all jobs based on their point totals. The goal is to determine appropriate internal pay levels and remain competitive externally.
This document provides information about job evaluation including:
1. Job evaluation is used to assess the relative worth of jobs based on qualifications, skills, responsibilities, and other factors to determine appropriate pay.
2. The objectives of job evaluation are to determine which jobs should be paid more based on gathered job data and to establish a job hierarchy.
3. Common job evaluation methods include ranking, classification, point evaluation, factor comparison, and market comparison which assign points or rankings to job factors.
This document discusses the validity and reliability of different personnel selection methods. It provides a graph ranking selection methods from most predictive of job performance (assessment centers and ability tests) to least predictive (astrology and reading hands). The text also covers legal standards around selection methods, how to establish validity through various strategies, calculating reliability, and the relationship between selection test scores and future job performance.
Selection methods such as interviews and tests are not always reliable predictors of job performance due to widespread faking. Effective selection requires looking below surface impressions to evaluate deeper skills, attitudes, interests, and motivations. A variety of assessment tools are used in selection, but the most valid generally relate directly to actual job requirements like work samples, assessment centers, cognitive tests, and structured interviews. The accuracy of different methods in predicting performance varies considerably, with cognitive tests and work samples among the most valid.
This document discusses the strategic role of human resource management. It begins by noting that in today's knowledge economy, employees are as powerful as consumers were in the past. It then outlines several questions around how an organization can develop a committed and competent workforce, adapt to environmental changes, balance labor and capital needs, plan HR deployment for the future, build incentives, and safeguard company interests. The next section discusses HR principles around value creation, emphasis on performance and competence, equal opportunity, and a long-term perspective. Finally, it explains the importance of human resource strategy in defining opportunities/barriers, prompting new thinking, developing commitment to action, establishing long-term priorities, and providing strategic focus for managing business and talent.
The document discusses HR planning and recruiting, including forecasting external candidate supply, effective recruiting strategies, and internal and external candidate sources. It describes forecasting factors like economic conditions; advantages of centralizing recruitment; using job posting, employee records, and rehiring to find internal candidates; constructing effective job advertisements; and reasons for and problems with using employment agencies, temporary agencies, executive recruiters, and other external candidate sources.

Brand extension can positively or negatively impact the parent brand over time. The document reviews literature on brand extension and outlines factors companies consider like reducing costs and risks when launching new products under an existing brand name.
Factors influencing successful brand extensionsLaiqa Ahmed
This document discusses factors that influence the success of brand extensions. It presents four hypotheses: 1) Extensions into more similar categories will be more accepted; 2) Brands with higher reputations will have more favorable extensions; 3) Higher perceived risk of the extension category will lead to more positive evaluations; 4) Consumers' innovativeness will lead to more positive evaluations. The document reports on research testing these hypotheses for fast-moving consumer goods, durable goods, and services brands. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses provide support for the hypotheses.
This document discusses strategic entrepreneurship and innovation. It defines key terms like entrepreneurship, innovation, and invention. It describes two forms of internal corporate venturing: autonomous and induced strategic behavior. Cross-functional teams can help integrate activities to facilitate new product development. Cooperative strategies like strategic alliances can help firms develop innovations. Acquisitions can help firms buy innovations, but may reduce internal R&D efforts. Venture capital and IPOs provide funding for entrepreneurial ventures. Strategic entrepreneurship creates value for customers and shareholders.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
