This document provides an overview of key points from lecture slides on strategic management. It discusses evaluating strategic options based on three criteria: suitability, acceptability, and feasibility. For suitability, the strategy must address opportunities/constraints and strengths/weaknesses. Acceptability means the strategy meets stakeholder expectations. Feasibility is if the strategy can work in practice. Various financial and non-financial techniques are described for evaluating options against these criteria, such as ranking, scenarios, competitive advantage screening, decision trees, and life cycle analysis.
While many firms are part of supply chain not all are managed in any truly coordinated fashion.
Many firms within supply chain wants to work independently.
Firms with large system inventories, many suppliers, complex product assemblies and highly valued customers benefit most from the practice of supply chain management.
For these firms, even moderate supply chain management success can mean lower purchasing and inventory carrying costs, better product quality and higher levels of customer service—all leading to more sales.

International Strategic Management is an ongoing management planning process aimed at developing strategies to allow an organization to expand abroad and compete internationally.
An organization must be able to determine what products or services they intend to sell, where and how the organization will make these products or services, where they will sell them, and how the organization will acquire the necessary resources for these tasks. Even more importantly an organization must have a strategy on how it expects to outperform its competitors.

THE SECRET TO SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY EXECUTION"
Stratergic Managment - Second Semester - exm_44568 Dr Vidya Sagar NIBM Glo...Dr Vidya Sagar
1. Strategic thinking involves making a series of decisions about what actions the company intends to take to become more successful. A company often goes through a strategic planning process once a year, creating a document that is, in essence, a guidebook for the management team to use in the upcoming year. Companies should strive to make strategic thinking an ongoing, year-round process.
Where strategic analysis tools are explained, this is most frequently done conceptually rather than
their actual application in strategic planning. Shortened systematic strategic planning (SSP) consists of
a pattern of stepwise procedure for straight-forward planning, and the fundamentals involved in any
strategic planning project. SSP has been applied to and tested on different businesses’ subject issue and
has been generated by the composition of the cause-and-effect relations of them. The intention here is
to provide a new perspective and benefit for the strategic planners by introducing this new systematic
methodology and demonstrating its implementation on an entrepreneurial and new business called
Visual Co. Accordingly, let shortened version of SSP easily understood and universally applied to any
small- and medium-size businesses. Additionally, you are guided how to identify in what circumstances
you might use its specific tools and how to target them directly at achieving effective results. The data
that are used in this case are fictitious and only help for this study. Though, the given case does not cover
all the steps of a typical systematic strategic plan and use all the recommended techniques, it still reflects
the basics.
In this presentation the followings are briefly explained:
₋ What is strategic planning;
₋ Main components of strategic planning;
₋ Business, functional, global and corporate level strategies;
₋ Strategy implementation;
₋ Strategic change and strategic leadership; and
₋ Strategic process.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

1. Strategic Management BUSM 3200
These Lecture Slides summarize the key points covered in the respective chapters in your
recommended text; these slides do NOT substitute, at all, the required reading of the assigned
chapter from the text. These slides also may contain additional supplementary material extracted
from other texts and sources outside your text book.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-1
2. The focus of part 3:
strategy in action
Criteria and techniques that can be used to
evaluate possible strategic options.
How strategies develop in organisations; the
processes that may give rise to intended
strategies or to emergent strategies.
The way in which organisational structures and
systems of control are important in organising for
strategic success.
The leadership and management of strategic
change.
Who strategists are and what they do in practice.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-2
3. Learning outcomes of Chapter 11
Employ three success criteria for evaluating
strategic options:
– Suitability: whether a strategy addresses the key
issues relating to the opportunities and constraints
an organisation faces.
– Acceptability: whether a strategy meets the
expectations of stakeholders.
– Feasibility: whether a strategy could work in
practice.
For each of these use a range of different
techniques for evaluating strategic options, both
financial and non-financial.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-3
4. The SAFe criteria
Table 11.1 The SAFe criteria and techniques of evaluation
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-4
5. Suitability
Suitability is concerned with assessing which proposed
strategies address the key opportunities & constraints
an organisation faces, through an understanding of the
strategic position of an organisation.
It is concerned with the overall rationale of the strategy:
Does it exploit the opportunities in the
environment and avoid the threats?
Does it capitalise on the organisation’s strengths
and strategic capabilities and avoid or remedy the
weaknesses?
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-5
6. Importance of ‘linking back’
The next few pages from 364 – 365 reminds us of
the importance of linking back this chapter’s
concept of suitability to all the important models
and frameworks we have covered in external and
internal analysis as well as the different strategic
options
Pay careful attention and read two tables – 11.1
and 11.2
You will begin to understand that the different
models that we learnt help the planner evaluate
the different strategic options
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-6
7. Suitability of strategic options in
Table 11.2
relation to strategic position (1)
Suitability of strategic options in relation to strategic position
It is a important that you REVISIT the above tables to better
understand the value of the different models and frameworks in
helping the manager evaluate the different strategic options
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-7
8. Suitability of strategic options in relation to
strategic position (2)
Table 11.2 Suitability of strategic options in relation to strategic position (Continued)
It is a important that you REVISIT the above tables to better
understand the value of the different models and frameworks in
helping the manager evaluate the different strategic options

BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-10
11. Suitability – screening techniques
There are several useful techniques:
Ranking.
Using scenarios.
Screening for competitive advantage.
Decision trees.
Life cycle analysis.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-11
12. Ranking
Evaluating the options based on
rating and ranking the different
options
Strategic options are evaluated
against specific criteria
Scores and given and the best option
is selected
See Illustration 11.1 on page 366
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-12
14. Scenarios
The strategy being evaluated can be screened by
considering different possible outcomes in the
future
What if questions
Best or worse case scenarios
Scenarios were discussed in Chapter 2 (external
analysis)
See section 2.22 of that chapter and see
Illustration 2.2
Managers evaluate which options would work
best under different environmental contexts
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-14
15. Screening for bases of competitive advantage
Chapters 3 and 6: the likely bases of competitive
advantage reside in the strategic capabilities of
the company
We screen the strategy in terms of the key
strategic capabilities underpinning a proposed
strategy
Evaluate the capabilities in terms of their ability
to deliver either
Cost leadership strategy
Differentiation strategy
See Table 11.4
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-15
17. Decision Trees
Evaluate the outcomes in terms of
Probabilities
Expected returns
See illustration 11.2 : strategic
decision tree for a law firm
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-17
19. Life cycle analysis
Different strategies are deemed to be appropriate
at different stages of the industry life cycle
Matrix on table `11.15 has two dimensions
Industry maturity
Firm’s competitive position
Purpose of the matrix is to determine the
appropriateness of the strategies in relation to the
two dimensions
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-19
20. The life cycle/portfolio matrix
Table 11.5 The industry life cycle/portfolio matrix Source: Arthur D. Little
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-20
21. Competitive position within an industry
Competitive position within an industry can be:
A dominant position which is rare in the private sector
unless there is a quasi-monopoly position. In the public
sector there can be a legalised monopoly status.
A strong position where organisations can follow
strategies of their own choice without too much concern
for competition.
A favourable position where no single competitor stands
out, but leaders are better placed.
A tenable position can be maintained by specialisation or
focus.
A weak position where competitors are too small to
survive independently in the long run.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-21
22. Acceptability (1)
Acceptability is concerned with
whether the expected performance
outcomes of a proposed strategy
meet the expectations of
stakeholders.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-22
23. Acceptability (2)
There are three key aspects of
acceptability - the ‘3 R’s’:
Risk.
Return.
Reactions (of stakeholders).
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-23
24. Risk
Risk concerns the extent to which the
outcomes of a strategy can be
predicted.
Risk can be assessed using:
Sensitivity analysis.
Financial ratios – e.g. gearing and
liquidity.
Break-even analysis.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-24
29. Return
Returns are the financial benefits which
stakeholders are expected to receive from a
strategy.
Different approaches to assessing return:
Financial analysis.
Shareholder value analysis.
Cost–benefit analysis.
Real options.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-29
30. Financial analysis
Three commonly used bases of financial analysis
are
1. Forecasting the return on capital employed
(ROCE)
2. Estimating the payback period
3. Calculating the DCF
See Figure 11.1
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-30
34. Shareholder value analysis (SVA)
Assess which of the proposed strategies would
increase or decrease shareholder value
Shareholders are interested in the cash
generating ability of the company
Ability to pay dividends
Reinvest funds for the future
See Table 11.6
Total shareholder returns (TSR)
Economic value added (EVA)
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-34
35. Measures of shareholder value
Table 11.6 Measures of shareholder value
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-35
36. Cost Benefit Analysis
Going beyond just the tangible financial
benefits
Consider intangible benefits
Important in public infrastructure projects
like airport construction ,roads, etc
See illustration 11.5 – sewerage
construction project
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-36
38. Real options
When using methods such as DCF, it is assumed
there is a degree of clarity of outcomes
But in many projects the precise benefits of
outcomes only become obvious as
implementation proceeds
New outcomes may emerge
(recall from lecture 1) : concept of “emergent
strategies”
New options are opened up after the implementation of a
particular project
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-38
39. Advantages of real options
There are four main benefits:
Bringing strategic and financial
evaluation closer together.
Valuing emerging options.
Coping with uncertainty.
Offsetting conservatism.
See page 381
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-39
40. Real options evaluation (illustration 11.6)
New options and opportunities emerge after the implementation of the initial
project – investment in a brewery
Illustration 11.6
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-40
41. Reaction of stakeholders
Stakeholder mapping and the power/interest
matrix can be used to:
understand the political context of strategies.
understand the political agenda.
gauge the likely reaction of stakeholders to
specific strategies.
• If key stakeholders find a strategy to be
unacceptable then it is likely to fail
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-41
42. Reaction of stakeholders
Owners have financial expectations
Regulators have decision making authority
Employees and unions may resist
The local community has specific concerns
such as security of jobs and environment
Customers could also object to a strategy
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-42
43. Feasibility
Feasibility is concerned with whether a
strategy could work in practice i.e. whether an
organisation has the capabilities to deliver a
strategy
Two key questions:
Do the resources and competences
currently exist to implement the strategy
effectively?
If not, can they be obtained?
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-43
44. Financial feasibility
Need to consider:
The funding required.
Cash flow analysis and forecasting.
Financial strategies needed for
the different ‘phases’ of the life
cycle of a business.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-44
45. Financial strategy and the business life
cycle
Table 11.7 Financial strategy and the business life cycle
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-45
46. People and skills (1)
Three questions arise:
1. Do people in the organisation
currently have the competences to
deliver a proposed strategy?
2. Are the systems to support those
people fit for the strategy?
3. If not, can the competences be
obtained or developed?
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-46
47. People and skills (2)
Critical issues that need to be considered:
Work organisation – will this need to change?
Rewards – are the incentives appropriate?
Relationships – will people interact differently?
Training and development – are current
systems appropriate?
Staffing – are the levels and skills of the staff
appropriate?
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-47
48. Integrating resources
The success of a strategy depends on the
management of many resource areas, for
example:
people,
finance,
physical resources,
information,
technology and
resources provided by suppliers and partners.
It is essential to integrate resources – inside the
organisation and in the wider value network.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-48
49. Evaluation criteria: Four Qualifications
Read pages 386 and 389 carefully:
Conflicting conclusions and the need for
management judgement.
Consistency between the different elements of a
strategy is essential.
The implementation and development of strategies
might reveal unanticipated problems.
Strategy development in practice – it isn’t always a
logical or even rational process.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-49
50. Summary
Proposed strategies may be evaluated using the three
SAFe criteria:
Suitability is concerned with assessing which
proposed strategies address the key opportunities and
constraints an organisation faces. It is about the
rationale of a strategy.
The acceptability of a strategy relates to three issues:
the level of risk of a strategy, the expected return
from a strategy and the likely reaction of
stakeholders.
Feasibility is concerned with whether an organisation
has or can obtain the capabilities to deliver a strategy.
BUSM 3200- Strategic Management (Jan 2013) GDS 7-50
