Forming a Strategic Vision
Forming a
strategic
vision
• Very early in the strategy-making
process, company managers need to
pose a set of questions:
• "What is our vision for the company
— where should the company be
headed, what should its future
technology-product-customer focus
be, what kind of enterprise do we
want to become, what industry
standing do we want to achieve in
five years?"
7. 7www.studyMarketing.org
Setting Objectives
Setting
objectives
• The purpose of setting objectives is
to convert managerial statements of
strategic vision and business mission
into specific performance targets —
results and outcomes the
organization wants to achieve.
• Setting objectives and then
measuring whether they are
achieved or not help managers track
an organization's progress.

Crafting Strategy
Crafting a
strategy to
achieve the
desired
outcomes
• A company's strategy represents
management's answers to such fundamental
business questions as :
• whether to concentrate on a single business or build
a diversified group of businesses
• whether to cater to a broad range of customers or
focus on a particular market niche
• whether to develop a wide or narrow product line
• how to respond to changing buyer preferences
• how big a geographic market to try to cover
• how to react to newly emerging market and
competitive conditions
• how to grow the enterprise over the long term.
10. 10www.studyMarketing.org
What Does a Company's Strategy Consist Of?
Crafting a
strategy to
achieve the
desired
outcomes
• Company strategies concern how:
• how to grow the business
• how to satisfy customers
• how to outcompete rivals
• how to respond to changing market
conditions
• how to manage each functional piece of
the business and develop needed
organizational capabilities
• how to achieve strategic and financial
objectives
11. 11www.studyMarketing.org
Strategy Implementation and Execution
• Strategy implementation concerns the
managerial exercise of putting a freshly
chosen strategy into place
• Strategy execution deals with the managerial
exercise of supervising the ongoing pursuit of
strategy, making it work, and showing
measurable progress in achieving the
targeted results.
Implementing
and executing
the chosen
strategy
12. 12www.studyMarketing.org
Strategy Evaluation and Monitoring
• It is management's duty to stay on top of
the company's situation, deciding
whether things are going well internally,
and monitoring outside developments
closely.
• Marginal performance or too little
progress, as well as important new
external circumstances, will require
corrective actions and adjustments.

18. 18www.studyMarketing.org
Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
Economic,
societal, political,
and government
regulations
• What an enterprise can and cannot do
strategywise is always constrained by
what is legal, by what complies with
government policies and regulatory
requirements, by what is considered
ethical, and by what is in accord with
societal expectations and the standards
of good social and community
citizenship.
19. 19www.studyMarketing.org
Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• An industry's competitive conditions
and overall attractiveness are big
strategy-determining factors.
• A company's strategy has to be tailored
to the nature and mix of competitive
factors in play—price, product quality,
performance features, service, war-
ranties, and so on.
Competitive
conditions and
industry
attractiveness
20. 20www.studyMarketing.org
Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• A company's strategy needs to be
deliberately aimed at capturing its best
growth opportunities, especially the
ones that hold the most promise for
building sustainable competitive
advantage and enhancing profitability.
• Strategy should also provide a defense
against external threats to the
company's well-being and future
performance.
Company
opportunity and
threat
21. 21www.studyMarketing.org
Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• One of the most pivotal strategy-shaping
internal considerations is whether a
company has or can acquire the
resources, competencies, and capabilities
needed to execute a strategy proficiently.
• The best path to competitive advantage is
found where a firm has competitively
valuable resources and competencies,
where rivals can't develop comparable
capabilities except at high cost or over an
extended period of time.
Company
strengths and
weaknesses,
competencies and
capabilities
22. 22www.studyMarketing.org
Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• Managers do not dispassionately assess
what strategic course to steer.
• Their choices are typically influenced by
their own vision of how to compete and
how to position the enterprise and by what
image and standing they want the
company to have.
Personal
ambitions and
business
philosophies of
key executives
23. 23www.studyMarketing.org
Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• An organization's policies, practices,
traditions, philosophical beliefs, and ways
of doing things combine to create a
distinctive culture.
• The stronger a company's culture, the
more that culture is likely to shape the
company's strategic actions, sometimes
even dominating the choice of strategic
moves.

the company's resource strengths and

Five Generic Competitive Strategies
Overall Low Cost
Leadership
Strategy
Broad
Differentiation
Strategy
Appealing to a broad spectrum of customers
based on being the overall low-cost provider
of product and service
A differentiation strategy calls for the
development of a product or service that
offers unique attributes that are valued by
customers and that customers perceive to be
better than or different from the products of
the competition
41. 41www.studyMarketing.org
Five Generic Competitive Strategies
Best Cost Strategy • Giving customers more value for the
money by incorporating good-to-
excellent product attributes at a lower
cost than rivals
• The target is to have the lowest (best)
costs and prices compared to rivals
offering products with comparable
upscale attributes
42. 42www.studyMarketing.org
Generic Strategies and Industry Forces

Entry
Barriers
Ability to cut price in
retaliation deters potential
entrants.
Customer loyalty can
discourage potential entrants.
Focusing develops core
competencies that can act as
an entry barrier.
Buyer
Power
Ability to offer lower price to
powerful buyers.
Large buyers have less power

close alternatives.
Large buyers have less power
to negotiate because of few

Supplier
Power
Better insulated from
powerful suppliers.
Better able to pass on supplier
price increases to customers.
Suppliers have power because
of low volumes, but a
differentiation-focused firm is
better able to pass on supplier
price increases.
Threat of
Substitutes
Can use low price to defend
against substitutes.
Customer's become attached
to differentiating attributes,
reducing threat of substitutes.
Specialized products & core
competency protect against
substitutes.
Rivalry
Better able to compete on
price.
Brand loyalty to keep
customers from rivals.
Rivals cannot meet
differentiation-focused
customer needs.

Strategy-supportive Reward System
Designing
strategy-
supportive
reward
system
• Strategy-supportive motivational practices
and reward systems are powerful
management tools for gaining employee
buy-in and commitment.
• The key to creating a reward system that
promotes good strategy execution is to
make strategically relevant measures of

rewards.
47. 47www.studyMarketing.org
Strategy-supportive Corporate Culture
Creating a
strategy-
supportive
corporate
culture
• Building a strategy-supportive culture is
important to successful strategy execution
because it produces a work climate and
organizational esprit de corps that thrive
on meeting performance targets and being
part of a winning effort.
48. 48www.studyMarketing.org
Strategic Leadership
Exerting
strategic
leadership
• Strategic leaders encourage people to be
innovative in order to keep the
organization responsive to changing
conditions, alert to new opportunities, and
anxious to pursue fresh initiatives.
• Strategic leaders also actively push
corrective actions to improve strategy
execution and overall strategic
performance.
49. 49www.studyMarketing.org
Linking Budget to Strategy
Linking
budget to
strategy
• Reworking the budget to make it more
strategy-supportive is a crucial part of the
implementation process because every
organization unit needs to have the
people, equipment, facilities, and other
resources to carry out its part of the
strategic plan.
51. 51www.studyMarketing.org
Continuous Improvement
Instituting
best practices
and
commitment
to continuous

adoption of best practices, and six sigma
initiatives all aim at improved efficiency,
better product, and greater customer
satisfaction.
52. 52www.studyMarketing.org
