It outlines three key steps: 1) Understanding customer demand uncertainty and supply uncertainty, 2) Understanding the company's supply chain capabilities, specifically its responsiveness and efficiency, and 3) Aligning the supply chain strategy and responsiveness to match the implied demand uncertainty based on customer needs. The goal is to ensure strategic fit across all functional strategies to coordinate an overall strategy and successfully execute it.
This document discusses key concepts in supply chain management. It defines a supply chain as including all stages involved in fulfilling a customer request. The objective of a supply chain is to maximize value by balancing customer value and supply chain costs. Supply chain decisions are important - good decisions can lead to major company growth while bad decisions can cause failures. Decisions are categorized into three phases: strategy/design, planning, and operations. The document also describes two process views of supply chains - the cycle view and push/pull view. Finally, it outlines the three macro processes within a company's supply chain: customer relationship management, internal supply chain management, and supplier relationship management.
This chapter discusses strategic management and strategic planning. It defines strategic management as formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions to achieve organizational objectives. The basic model of strategic management involves environmental scanning, strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. Strategy formulation includes developing a vision/mission and identifying strengths/weaknesses and opportunities/threats. Implementation requires setting objectives, policies, and allocating resources. Evaluation assesses performance and makes corrections. Benefits include increased control and improved performance compared to non-planning firms.
The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
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

After studying this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
1. Describe the nature and role of vision statements in strategic management.
2. Describe the nature and role of mission statements in strategic management.
3. Discuss the process of developing a vision and mission statement.
4. Discuss how clear vision and mission statements can benefit other strategic-management activities.
5. Describe the characteristics of a good mission statement.
6. Identify the components of mission statements.
7. Evaluate mission statements of different organizations and write effective vision and mission statements.
It is especially important for managers and executives in any organization to agree on the basic vision that the firm strives to achieve in the long term.
Many organizations have both a vision and mission statement, but the vision statement should be established first and foremost.
Table 2-1 provides examples of vision statements with comments from the textbook author.
An enduring statement of purpose that distinguishes one organization from other similar enterprises, the mission statement is a declaration of an organization’s “reason for being.”
All organizations have a reason for being, even if strategists have not consciously transformed this reason into writing.
Clear vision and mission statements are needed before alternative strategies can be formulated and implemented. As many managers as possible should be involved in the process of developing these statements because, through involvement, people become committed to an organization.
King and Cleland recommend that organizations carefully develop a written mission statement in order to reap the following benefits:
1. To make sure all employees/managers understand the firm’s purpose or reason for being.
2. To provide a basis for prioritization of key internal and external factors utilized to formulate feasible strategies.
3. To provide a basis for the allocation of resources.
4. To provide a basis for organizing work, departments, activities, and segments around a common purpose.
Ten benefits of having a clear mission and vision are provided in Table 2-2.
A mission statement is a declaration of attitude and outlook. It usually is broad in scope for at least two major reasons. First, a good mission statement allows for the generation and consideration of a range of feasible alternative objectives and strategies without unduly stifling management creativity.
Second, a mission statement needs to be broad to reconcile differences effectively among, and appeal to, an organization’s diverse stakeholders, the individuals and groups of individuals who have a special stake or claim on the company.
Stakeholders are the individuals and groups of individuals who have a special stake or claim on the company.
An effective mission statement describes an organization’s purpose, customers, products or services, markets, philosophy, and basic technology. According to Vern McGinnis, a mission statement should:
(1) define what the organization is and what the organization aspires to be,
(2) be limited enough to exclude some ventures and broad enough to allow for creative growth,
(3) distinguish a given organization from all others,
(4) serve as a framework for evaluating both current and prospective activities, and
(5) be stated in terms sufficiently clear to be widely understood throughout the organization.
The mission statement should reflect the anticipations of customers. Rather than developing a product and then trying to find a market, the operating philosophy of organizations should be to identify customers’ needs and then provide a product or service to fulfill those needs.
Mission statements can and do vary in length, content, format, and specificity. Most practitioners and academicians of strategic management feel that an effective statement should include the nine mission statement components presented on these two slides.
Note: The numbers in parentheses correspond to the nine components listed on page 49. Perhaps the best way to develop a skill for writing and evaluating mission statements is to study actual company missions. Thus, Table 2-5 provides a component-by-component critique of two actual mission statements from PepsiCo and Royal Caribbean.
The Royal Caribbean statement includes only six of the nine components, comprises 86 words total, and lacks a customer perspective. The Royal Caribbean statement merely includes the word customer(s), which is inadequate to be considered written from a customer perspective.
Proposed, exemplary mission statements for Avon and L’Oreal are provided in Table 2-7. These rival firms have uniquely different competitive advantages in that Avon utilizes door-to-door sales representatives to gain competitive advantage, whereas L’Oreal markets products in thousands of retail outlets. The proposed Avon and L’Oreal statements have the characteristics described earlier, and include the nine components written from a customer perspective.
