Vanguard has developed an approach called "Competing for Choice" which underlies business strategy. Their view is that all businesses compete for the choice of customers and other stakeholders like employees and investors. Brands play a pivotal role as they are used to compete for choice through their propositions, qualities, image and values. However, competing for choice is challenging given today's rapidly changing environment. Vanguard's Competing for Choice approach was developed through extensive research and refines how senior managers rethink strategy and investments to radically improve performance.

This document discusses strategic management and the types of strategies used by organizations. It covers several key areas:
1) Types of strategies include growth, diversification, restructuring, globalization, and e-business strategies. Growth strategies focus on expansion while restructuring strategies focus on consolidation.
2) Strategy formulation involves analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis), examining industry attractiveness (Porter's five forces model), and evaluating business strategies (Porter's competitive strategies model).

Is strategy-fixed-or-variable
The document discusses the balance between fixed and variable strategy. It argues that strategy must be adaptable to changing conditions but also needs a stable foundation. Nordstrom is used as an example of a company that continually challenges its strategy through executive meetings while maintaining its core foundations. The conclusion is that for strategy to be effective, it must change daily in response to new challenges but much of it also needs to stay constant to provide direction. The key is for strategists to balance variability with a strong underlying strategic framework.
GE MULTIFACTOR ANALYSIS
The GE matrix is a strategic analysis tool used to evaluate a strategic business unit's (SBU) overall strength. It analyzes both external factors of market attractiveness and internal factors of competitive strength to map SBUs on a grid. Market attractiveness considers industry measures like size, growth, and profitability, while competitive strength examines assets, brand strength, costs, and management. The matrix then recommends resource allocation strategies to grow, hold, or harvest SBUs based on their positioning. While more complex than the BCG matrix, it provides a multidimensional analysis of an SBU's market opportunity and strength.
Business Portfolio Analysis
Business portfolio analysis is a technique that analyzes a company's different business units or products in the same way an investment portfolio is analyzed. It uses tools like the BCG matrix and GE nine-cell matrix to evaluate business units based on factors such as market share and market growth. This helps companies allocate resources more effectively by identifying strong business units in attractive markets that should receive more investment, and weak units in unattractive markets that may need to be improved or divested. While portfolio analysis provides a systematic approach and encourages strategic evaluation, the analyses can oversimplify strategies and produce static snapshots that may not account for changing market conditions.
Question 1 What are important trends in marketing practices? (Chapter 21) (...
Important trends in marketing practices include companies becoming more responsible due to consumer awareness of environmental issues, consumers adopting an ideology of wanting less, and wanting companies to continuously improve their offerings. To satisfy customers, marketers must work closely across departments and engage in practices like reengineering processes, outsourcing, benchmarking, partnering with suppliers, and focusing on the most profitable businesses. Other shifts involve globalizing operations, flattening organizational structures, justifying marketing actions, empowering employees, and broadening considerations to stakeholders.

12A Strategic Product Management - Shell's Directional Policy Matrix
12A Strategic Product Management - Shell's Directional Policy MatrixRajesh Satpathy, Regional College of Management (RCM), Bhubaneswar
The Shell Directional Policy Matrix (SDPM) is a refinement of the Boston Consulting Group Matrix that Shell uses to evaluate its strategic business units. The SDPM places each SBU on a grid based on the profitability prospects of its business sector on the horizontal axis and the SBU's competitive capabilities on the vertical axis. Each quadrant of the matrix indicates a different strategic recommendation, such as divesting SBUs in sectors with weak prospects and low competitive positioning, or focusing major resources on market leadership SBUs. The SDPM provides Shell a systematic framework to assess SBUs and guide strategic resource allocation decisions.Strategy formulation
Strategy formulation is the process of using available knowledge to document the intended direction of a business and the actionable steps to reach its goals.

Chapter 1
What Is Strategy
and Why Is It Important?
Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete.
—Jack Welch, former CEO, General Electric
Without a strategy the organization is like a ship without a rudder.
—Joel Ross and Michael Kami
If your firm’s strategy can be applied to any other firm, you don’t have a very good one.
—David J. Collis and Michael G. Rukstad
In business, strategy is king. Leadership and hard work are all very well and luck is mighty useful, but it
is strategy that makes or breaks a firm.
—The Economist, a leading publication on economics, business, and international affairs
Managers of all types of businesses face three central questions: What’s our company’s present situation?
What should the company’s future direction be and what performance targets should we set? What’s
our plan for running the company and producing good results? Arriving at a thoughtful and probing
answer to the question “What’s our company’s present situation?” prompts managers to evaluate industry
conditions and competitive pressures, the company’s current market standing, its competitive strengths
and weaknesses, and its future prospects in light of changes taking place in the business environment. The
question “What should the company’s future direction be and what performance targets should we set?”
pushes managers to consider what emerging buyer needs to try to satisfy, which growth opportunities to
pursue most vigorously, which existing markets to de-emphasize or even abandon, what strategic path to
follow, and what outcomes the company should strive to achieve with respect to both its financial performance
and its performance in the markets where it competes. The question “What’s our plan for running the company
and producing good results?” challenges managers to craft a series of competitive moves and business
approaches—what henceforth will be referred to as the company’s strategy—for heading the company in the

Module 1
The document discusses strategic management and strategy. It defines strategy as management's action plan for growing the business, attracting customers, competing successfully, and achieving performance goals. A good strategy answers the questions of where the company needs to go and how it will get there. An effective strategy pursues competitive advantages like low costs, differentiation, niche focus, or unique capabilities. It also discusses how strategies evolve over time in response to changes.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
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

- 1. Vanguard Strategy 1 Vanguard’s ‘Competing for Choice’ approach Vanguard, Vanguard Strategy, Vanguard Intelligence, Vanguard Brand Management, and Competing for Choice are all registered trademarks of Vanguard Brand Management Ltd. ● Every manager knows that robust strategy plays a crucial role in any enterprise. Yet for all the volumes that have been written on the subject, two things remain true. Strategy is complex, and many companies still get it wrong. ● Vanguard’s view is that a single purpose underlies all business strategy: competing for choice. Businesses compete for the choice of customers or consumers. Not only that, they also compete for the choice of other key stakeholders, including employees, partners, and investors. ● Brands play a pivotal role in this process: they are the vehicles, or focal points, that businesses use in competing for choice. The proposition, qualities, image, and values that businesses provide and embed in their brands are the basis for earning the choice of customers and stakeholders. ● But to compete for choice isn’t easy. Today’s rapidly changing world of industry deregulation, growing competitive intensity, newly empowered consumers, and multiple stakeholders means that management must make choices about how to earn the choice of all stakeholders under conditions that are complex and dynamic. Despite this, companies frequently make important strategic decisions on the basis of intuition rather than solid fact. A deep understanding of the dynamics of business and brand choice would help them to make much more robust strategic decisions. ● The Competing for Choice approach has been developed through years of research and practice. It has been tried, tested, and refined through work with many different industries and brands. It shows senior managers how to rethink strategy and allocate their investments more effectively – and radically improve business performance as a result. ● Contents: – Competing for choice – Uncovering hidden potential for growth – Balancing stakeholder choice for sustainable performance – Understanding performance dynamics for robust strategy development – Building brand competencies for competitive advantage VolaPress, ISBN: 09545328 13, www.volapress.com
