This document outlines various corporate level strategies including growth, stability, and retrenchment strategies. It discusses concentration, diversification, pause/proceed with caution, and turnaround strategies. The document also covers business level strategies like cost leadership, differentiation, and focus strategies. Finally, it discusses building and restructuring the corporation through various routes like start-ups, acquisitions, mergers, and divestments.
Strategic management unit ii
This document discusses concepts related to strategic management and competitive advantage. It begins by defining the external environment of an organization and identifying various environmental factors. It then discusses Porter's Five Forces model, which analyzes competitive forces within an industry. Next, it covers strategic groups within industries and how competitive changes occur during different stages of industry evolution. It concludes by briefly discussing the impacts of globalization on industry structure.
Process of strategic choice
The process of strategic choice involves focusing on strategic alternatives through gap analysis, analyzing alternatives based on objective and subjective factors, evaluating alternatives against selection criteria, and making a final choice. Subjective factors considered in strategic choice include perceptions of critical success factors, commitment to past actions, decision styles and risk attitudes, and internal politics. Organizations develop contingency strategies in advance to deal with uncertainties and create strategic plans to implement chosen strategies.
Strategic intent
The document discusses strategic intent and the balanced scorecard approach to strategic management. It defines strategic intent as the purpose and direction an organization aims to achieve. Key elements of strategic intent include vision, mission, goals, and objectives. These elements form a hierarchy with the vision at the top as the long-term goal, followed by the mission which articulates how the vision will be achieved, then specific goals and objectives with metrics to evaluate performance. The balanced scorecard framework translates strategic intent into objectives and measures across financial, customer, internal process, and learning/growth perspectives.
Methods and techniques of organization appraisal
This document discusses various methods and techniques for organizational appraisal, including value chain analysis, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, historical analysis, industry standards, benchmarking, and the balanced scorecard. It provides details on each method, such as how value chain analysis is used to identify a firm's most valuable activities, how quantitative analysis includes financial and non-financial measures, and how the balanced scorecard translates a business's vision into objectives in four key areas: financial, customer, internal processes, and learning and growth. The document aims to outline different approaches for evaluating an organization's internal environment and identifying strengths and weaknesses.
Strategic evaluation and control
Strategic evaluation and control is the final phase of strategic management. It operates at two strategic and operational levels to assess consistency with the environment and pursuit of strategy. The purpose is to evaluate strategy effectiveness in achieving objectives. It tests strategy effectiveness and keeps the organization on track to objectives through feedback and corrective actions. Strategic evaluation involves participants across the organization and provides lessons for new planning, though barriers like measurement difficulties must be addressed.
Strategic analysis and choice
The document discusses various strategic analysis and choice frameworks including the EFE matrix, IFE matrix, SWOT matrix, SPACE matrix, BCG matrix, GE nine-cell matrix, and IE matrix. It provides details on how to conduct an analysis using each framework, including how to evaluate internal and external factors, match strategies, and determine the appropriate strategic position and actions. The frameworks help organizations generate strategies by analyzing their internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats.
Levels of strategy
This document discusses different levels of strategy, including corporate strategy, business strategy, and functional strategy.
Corporate strategy involves top-level decisions about the overall scope and direction of a corporation. It occupies the highest decision-making level. Corporate strategies include stability, expansion, retrenchment, and combinations of those. Expansion strategies involve concentrating resources, diversifying, integrating operations, cooperating with competitors, and internationalization. Retrenchment strategies are turnaround, divestment, and liquidation.
Business strategy details how a firm provides value to customers within a specific industry. Common business strategies are cost leadership, differentiation, focused low cost, focused differentiation, and integrated low cost/differentiation.

Different levels of strategy
This document discusses the three levels of strategic management - corporate, business, and operational.
The corporate level focuses on the overall plan for the organization and strategic business units. Strategy at this level involves conceptual decisions. The business level determines how each business unit will compete and allocates resources. Operational level strategies improve internal functions like manufacturing and marketing.
Effective strategic management requires coordination across all three levels to improve profitability.
Strategy implementation
Strategy implementation refers to the activities within an organization to execute its strategic plan. This involves translating the chosen strategy into organizational actions to achieve strategic goals. Key aspects of strategy implementation include developing organizational structures, control systems, and culture aligned with the strategy. It also involves assigning tasks and roles to employees to maximize efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction. Successful strategy implementation depends on factors like organizational structure, resource allocation, leadership styles, and procedures. It is important that implementation responsibilities are shifted to divisional and functional managers who were involved in the strategy formulation process.
Retrenchment Strategies
Retrenchment strategies are used by corporations to reduce costs and become more financially stable. They involve withdrawing from certain markets, discontinuing some products or services, and reducing the overall size and diversity of business operations. There are three main types of retrenchment strategies: turnaround strategies, divestment strategies, and liquidation strategies. Turnaround strategies reverse declines, while divestment strategies involve selling off parts of the business. Liquidation is the most extreme option and involves closing down the entire firm. Reasons for retrenchment include persistent losses, declining market share, and failure of strategy.
