Defensive strategies are used by incumbent firms to discourage potential competitors from entering their industry. There are pre-entry strategies like signaling and fortifying defenses, as well as post-entry strategies. Signaling involves announcing the intent to retaliate against any competitor attacks. Fortifying defenses strengthens barriers to entry through economies of scale, product differentiation, and proprietary advantages. Post-entry strategies include continuous improvement to stay ahead of competitors, capacity expansion to utilize excess capacity, and introducing fighting brands to combat threats to the core brand.
Defensive Strategies in Strategic Management - Karim ViraniKarim Virani
This document discusses defensive strategies that companies can use to protect themselves from competitors. It outlines two approaches to defensive strategies - active approaches that aim to block competitors through tactics like expanding the company or innovating new products, and passive approaches that focus on reconnecting with old customers. The advantages of defensive strategies are that they typically involve less risk than offensive strategies and can increase marketing to enhance products/services. However, disadvantages are that the business may not understand its target market well and defensive strategies could inhibit innovation and product development. The document stresses that defensive strategies require planning and that focusing on defense is important when the core business is struggling.
This document discusses different types of business strategies, including integration strategies, intensive strategies, and diversification strategies. Integration strategies involve acquiring suppliers or distributors and include vertical integration (backward or forward) and horizontal integration by acquiring competitors. Intensive strategies focus on existing products and markets and include market penetration, market development, and product development. Diversification strategies involve entering new industries, either related diversification into similar products, or unrelated diversification. The document provides examples and guidelines for when each type of strategy may be effective.
This document outlines various offensive and defensive business strategies. Defensive strategies include position defense, mobile defense, flanking defense, counter-offensive defense, and contraction defense, which are used to protect market share. Offensive strategies aim to improve one's own position by taking market share from competitors, and include frontal attack, flank attack, encirclement attack, bypass attack, and guerilla attack. Both offensive and defensive strategies are used to gain competitive advantages and either retain or expand a company's market position.
The document discusses the advertising strategies of Coca-Cola and Pepsi in global and local markets. It notes that both companies spend billions annually on advertising, representing a significant percentage of their revenues. The soft drink industry is highly competitive, so brands rely on advertising and branding to sustain their market position. While Coca-Cola and Pepsi are global powerhouse brands, their advertising campaigns have localized over time in India to connect with local audiences and cultural contexts. Localization of branding is a key strategy given lack of product differentiation.
Fastrack is India's largest youth fashion brand owned by Titan that started in 1998. It has a market worth of ₹500,000 crore and penetrates 37% of the youth market aged 18-35, with students making up 30% of sales. Fastrack watches are positioned as cool, youthful watches from Titan, while other products are seen as fashionable gifts. The brand uses celebrities like Virat Kohli and Genelia D'Souza to promote its ambitious, fast-paced style. Since 2009, campaigns have focused on youth moving on from relationships with messages like "Who's Next" and "Gotta Get Rid of Him".
Uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) provide clean, steady power to sensitive electronic equipment to protect against power problems from the main supply. There are three main types of UPS - off-line/standby UPS which provide backup during outages, line interactive UPS which condition voltage fluctuations, and true online UPS which provide fully regulated backup power. True online UPS provide the highest level of protection against issues like surges, sags, spikes and noise but are also the most expensive option. The type of UPS chosen depends on the criticality of the load and frequency of power quality issues.
This document discusses Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) basics. It provides information on how TDM converts analog signals to digital signals and multiplexes them. It then explains how SDH was developed to overcome limitations of Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) by employing synchronous transmission and simpler add/drop functionality. The document outlines the frame structure and overhead bytes of STM-1, and defines the common network elements in SDH including Terminal Multiplexer, Add/Drop Multiplexer, Cross-connect, and Regenerator.

It also details the different types of phones, cards used in the EPABX, numbering plans, and connectivity between stations.
SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) is used to provide -48V DC power for equipment that requires DC voltage, as UPS only provides AC voltage. SMPS converts the AC supply to DC through rectification and switching technology. It has advantages like high efficiency over 94%, modularity, and easy maintenance. Key components of SMPS include lightening protection, switch mode rectifiers to convert AC to DC, a control unit to monitor parameters, and an interface to connect to external signals and batteries. SMPS is used redundantly in pairs to power critical telecom equipment in DMRC requiring -48V DC supply through distribution boxes.
SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) is a transport network standard that uses synchronous framing and multiplexing to transmit synchronous and asynchronous signals. It defines a framework for digital signal transmission with standardized bit rates and multiplexing structures. SDH uses regenerators, multiplexers, and cross-connects to combine and route lower-rate tributary signals into higher-rate aggregate signals for transmission over longer distances. Overhead bytes in the frames provide functions like monitoring, maintenance, and control of network elements.
The document describes the Public Information Display System (PIDS) used in Delhi Metro stations to provide real-time train arrival and departure information to passengers. It discusses the key components and functional blocks of the PIDS, including the Operational Control Center (OCC) that manages the system, Station Control Rooms that oversee local installations, master clocks for synchronization, and servers that communicate information. It also outlines the Public Address System (PAS) used to make announcements throughout stations and trains, covering message types, priorities, and technical components such as codecs, amplifiers, and noise controllers.
The document discusses fiber optic transmission systems (FOTS). It describes how FOTS uses optical fibers to transmit information over long distances using light signals. It discusses the key components of a FOTS including transmitters, optical fibers, optical receivers, and how total internal reflection allows fibers to transmit signals.
