The document discusses the Teece model and Clarysse's Entrepreneurial Strategy Matrix for assessing entrepreneurial strategies. The Teece model assesses the protectability of a business idea and the ease of accessing complementary assets needed to bring the idea to market. It evaluates whether independent market entry or a cooperative partnership strategy is better. Clarysse's matrix builds on this by also considering whether a market for products or technologies is more suitable and what resources will be required for different strategies. Examples are provided to illustrate applying the models. The models help determine a viable business strategy by assessing threats to an idea's protectability and access to needed complementary assets.

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.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

2. Essentially...
The Teece model assesses:
• Can your business enter the market independently and
compete effectively with other companies?
• Or should you enter a partnership with an established
company in order to successfully reach the market?
This means sharing some value with the partners, but also
accessing their complementary assets instead of building
your own.
• Are you likely to make any money?
Copyright of Bart Clarysse and Sabrina Kiefer
The Smart Entrepreneur
3. And further...
Clarysse’s Entrepreneurial Strategy Matrix goes a step
further and assesses:
• Should you go into a Market for Products or a Market for
Technology? (Or a Hybrid strategy?)
• What sort of resources will you need to develop?

5. Teece model: why?
• Start-up entrepreneurs usually have limited resources and risk giving
away value or seeing competitors or other partners profit from their
inventions.
• Teece’s approach attempts to identify a viable business strategy by
assessing two of the most critical threats:
A business idea’s protectability (formal IP, secrecy, complexity?)
How hard it is to acquire the complementary assets that are needed
to get to market.

•Which players in your value chain hold the important complementary
assets to reach your customers?
• Usually downstream players who have relationship with the end market
•How tightly are these assets held?
• e.g. If there are only a few companies with established assets, or those
assets are highly specialised, their bargaining power with respect to you is
high

• Depending on the venture’s position in the matrix and its
competitive advantage, there is a strategic choice between:
• Competition strategy
The company goes it alone plays on the market for products
• Cooperation strategy
The company partners with other entities and plays on the market
for ideas

The Smart Entrepreneur
14. Teece: Competition or cooperation?
Choosing between:
• Competition:
• Integrate downstream: investing money to set up your own production,
distribution and/or marketing in-house
• Partially integrate– retain certain functions in-house and outsource
others.
• Cooperation:
• Partner with companies that already have established complementary
assets
• e.g.: joint venture, licence agreement,…
• Bargaining power: if specialist investment is needed (e.g. new
manufacturing processes), partners will take some risk, and are likely
to negotiate an agreement at a risk level they can accept

17. Types of cooperation: Strategic alliances
• Between firms with similar capabilities. Why?
• Pooling of knowledge, IP and resources
• Not useful if there is a complete overlap of capabilities, only when there is
complementarity
• Large firms seek alliances with smaller ones. Why?
• Smaller firms often have more innovation capability and are nimble
• Large firms are organised to preserve existing business lines
• Small firms seek alliances with larger ones. Why?
• For access to complementary assets, experience and resources/facilities
• Disadvantages
• Lack of shared language, routines and coordination that facilitate the
transfer of knowledge
• Require a pool of dedicated people willing to travel, test-bed facilities and
active procedures for internalising what has been learnt

18. Types of cooperation: Joint Ventures
• Significant equity investment from each partner
• Often results in establishment of a new separate business entity

20. Choice between competition and cooperation is not always
straightforward for start-ups
• e.g. Cambridge Display Technologies (CDT):
• Polymer technologies, one of the applications being light emitting
plastics (for mobile phones, calculators) = worldclass
• Nearly went bankrupt when producing the displays themselves
• New business model: license technology to existing manufacturers
(Philips Electronics, DuPont,…)
• e.g. CropDesign
• Choosing right application and whether to integrate vertically or partner
• Started with idea of integration, encountered market problems, then
partnered with BASF, which ultimately became its acquirer

21. Clarysse: Entrepreneurial Strategy Matrix
Clarysse takes Teece a step further...
1. A clear and compelling market segment can somewhat
compensate for lack of IP:
(’going under the radar’)
1. A complex sales process is also a challenge, even when
complementary assets are not:
In a given B2B situation, how complex is the typical customer’s
decision cycle?
• Economic buyer, Technical Buyer, User Buyer, etc.
See Entrepreneurial Market Research in Toolbox
• How long does it take to acquire a customer, how hard is it?
(Procurement cycle, risk aversion, switching costs, etc.)
• Consumer buying decisions are generally simpler
(though not easy!)

1. Value Proposition based on Product Offer
(or standardised service)
•Specific product / market niche
•Control over the value chain
•Diverse founding team with experience in industry
•Funding from founders’ own capital, debt or possibly an
Angel, followed by early revenues
-> Revenue Growth by selling standardised products to
customer segments
2. Value Proposition based on Technology Offer
•Focus on developing one application
•Build a technology team
•Establish technology partnerships
•Source specialized VC for start-up and development
capital
-> Employment Growth to build up intellectual capital,
with view to a trade sale
4. Value Proposition for Customised Services or
Consulting (possibly a ‘Transitional’ start-up)
•Specialist knowledge or technology used in bespoke
projects for single customers
•Build team with technical ,consulting and customer
relations skills. Keep tacit knowledge confidential
•Direct access to customers (usually small businesses)
•Low capital requirements: ‘bootstrapping’
-> Organic growth through customer relationships, but not
really scalable; ‘Lifestyle’ business
3. Hybrid Value Proposition based on Technology
Offer and Market Approach
•Acquire technology
•Establish commercial partnerships
•Acquire partners in the downstream value chain
•Source specialized VC in different funding rounds, for
start-up, development and acquisition capital
-> Revenue + Employment Growth

27. Appendix: Teece model examples
1. RC Cola
• 1958: RC Cola, a small American soft drinks company introduces the first cola in a can
and the first diet cola (in 1958) to the market. The company has its own distribution
chains, but only has a limited market share in the soft drinks industry.
2. Windshield wiper
• 1960: Robert Kearns invents the first intermittent windshield wiper in his garage.
• Kearns, a Wayne State University professor, received numerous patents in 1967 for his
design for wipers that paused between swipes, making them useful in very light rain or
mist. The invention allows the driver to set the interval at which the wiper sweeps the
window.
3. New diet beer
• An entrepreneur is considering bringing a new beer to the market. This beer will have
certain dietary characteristics, and is based on a combination of a number of ingredients,
such as hop and mint.
• Tests show that the beer has a positive impact on health and may be considered a
dietary product. The entrepreneur thinks that the product should be targeted at women,
mostly those concerned about weight, and who still like to taste their (sweet) beer,
without feeling guilty.

28. 4. Utility Cars
• Yoyco Flints, operational manager of the utility car department at a large utility company, wants
to spin off a company for utility car leasing.
• Yoyco Flints works at a large Belgian company, Belgaz, which operates the Belgian electricity
network. Yoyco is head of an operational department that manages car leasing. Yoyco is proud
of the fact that his department works so smoothly.
• There are two main sub-departments: one of these is responsible for management and sales
cars, another for utility cars.
• This latter department is very specific to the company: given that the technicians who drive the
utility cars have to take a lot of equipment with them, they rebuild ordinary vans so that all
equipment fits in them perfectly and does not move during the trip. The department has thus
built up a lot of experience transforming vans into utility cars.
• At the new year’s drinks reception, one of Yoyco’s colleagues congratulates him on the
functioning of his department and tells him about a talk he had with a friend of his, working at
another utility company, who complained about the infrastructure of their utility cars.
• As a joke, Yoyco mentions that they should sell the product and service to other companies
instead of keeping this simply as an internal department. But some days later, Yoyco cannot
resist talking about the idea of setting up a spin-off to deliver the service of transforming vans
into utility cars to external companies. Some of his colleagues are really enthusiastic and say
they believe there is a market for it. One colleague mentions that even traditional lease
companies are not in this business because they lack the know-how.

29. 5. Child Leisure
• Ever sent your kids to athletics? Or volleyball courses? Or tennis camps? The experience many parents have
is that kids tend to get bored very quickly with most of the sports classes they take, especially when they are
young (6-12 years old). They find the techniques and exercises practiced to be to repetitive. But what should
you do as a parent, if you believe that your kids should do some sports to be healthy?
• An entrepreneur is offering a solution. A new American wave is coming our way that is offering kids “general
movement”. In each class, they are given different exercises that are targeted at moving and exercising each
muscle in their body. Your kids will be happy to follow these classes after school, during weekends or at camp.
6. Swimmate
• New inventions are coming to the sports world: a step counter, a run mate that reports on the miles run, speed
per hour etc. Some techniques already exist to measure the distance swum by swimmers, but these
techniques demand a lot of investment by the swimming pool operators, and therefore, most opreators have
not installed such systems. An entrepreneur, who swims frequently himself, has developed a technology to
measure the length and speed swum. The technology consists of a watch, to be worn by the swimmer, and two
receivers, to be placed at both ends of the swimming pool. The system is low-cost, both for the swimming pool
operators and the swimmer. Furthermore, the accuracy of measurement is better than in the systems that are
already on the market.
7. Iced Yoghurt
• An entrepreneur has the idea of bringing iced yoghurt ice to the market. The product can be manufactured by
freezing yoghurt and adding some ingredients.
