Editor's Notes

  • #5 American airlines in One World with British airways and Cathay Pacific United Airways in the star alliance with Singapore airlines, Air Canada.
  • #6 In the past, stockholders were the main stakeholders. Company work is carried out by each department. However, departmental organization has some problems. Departments typically work to achieve their own goals Characteristics of a high-performance business Stakeholders Traditionally, most businesses focused on their stockholders Today businesses increasingly recognize that they must nurture other stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, and the communities where their businesses are located Processes Companies are increasingly refocusing their attention on the need to manage processes even more than departments They are studying how tasks pass from department to department as well as the impediments to creative output They are now building cross-functional teams that manage core business processes Resources To carry out processes, a company needs such resources as personnel, materials, machines, and information More companies today have decided to outsource less critical sources Organization Companies must work hard to align their organization’s structure, policies, and culture to the changing requirements of business strategy
  • #10 Many organizations develop formal mission statements that answer these questions A mission statement is a statement of the organization’s purpose—what it wants to accomplish in the larger environment Management should avoid making a mission too narrow or too broad The mission should be based on a company’s distinctive competencies A clear mission statement acts like an “invisible hand” that guides people in the organization Studies have shown that firms with well-crafted mission statements have better organizational and financial performance
  • #13 Yum: KFC Pizza hut, and Taco Bell
  • #14 Growth is important. Growth helps companies to compete and to attract top talent. Companies need to be careful when pursuing growth because growth should not be an objective. The goal or objective should be profitable growth.
  • #15 When a market’s annual growth rate falls to less than 10%. It falls into cash cows. Still the market leader. Support star business, question marks, and dog. Your objective: build, hold, harvest (increase short-term cash flow regardless of the long-term effect). Divest (sell or liquidate the business).
  • #16 Integrative Growth Opportunities in diversification, market development, and product development can be seized through integrating backward, forward, or horizontally within that business’s industry Backward integration Acquiring a suppliers, such as a food distributor Forward Integration Acquiring tour wholesalers or travel agents Horizontal Integration Acquiring one or more competitors, provided that the government does not bar the move Diversification Growth Makes sense when good opportunities can be found outside the present businesses Concentric Diversification Strategy Seeking new products that have technological or marketing synergies with existing product lines Horizontal Diversification Strategy Searching for new products that could appeal to its current customers, Hotels and restaurants selling gift items Conglomerate Diversification Strategy Seeking new businesses that have no relationship to the company’s current technology, products, or markets
