4. Strategy is to do with the matching of the activities of an organisation to the environment in which it operates.
23 July 2013 (c) Prof. Prasad Kulkarni 16
5. Strategy can also be seen as 'stretching' an organization's resources and competences to create opportunities or capitalize on them. 6. Strategic decisions therefore often have major resource implications for an organisation.
7. Strategic decisions are therefore likely to affect operational decisions, to set off waves of lesser decisions.
8. The strategy of an organisation will be affected not only by environmental forces and resource availability, but also by the values and expectations of those who have power in and around the organisation

Financial objectives
The primary objective is concerned with the return to shareholder. A satisfactory return for a company must be sufficient to reward shareholders adequately in the long run for the risks they take. The reward will take the form of profits which can lead to dividends or in increase in the market value.
23 July 2013 (c) Prof. Prasad Kulkarni 54
The size of the return which is adequate for ordinary shareholders will vary according to the risk involved. There are different ways of expressing a financial objectives in quantitative terms. Financial objective would include the following
23 July 2013 (c) Prof. Prasad Kulkarni 55
1. Profitability: it is just not the profit for every year. The investment must provide future appreciation of worth and increased profits in future. 2. Return on investment: the return on investment must be on increase year after year.
23 July 2013
56
Low risk: high risk projects might promise a high return but it may be safer to opt for a project with a lower return but a greater guarantee of success. Share price, earnings, dividends and market value: EPS or dividend payments are measures which recognize that company is owned by its shareholders. Lesser the EPS, shareholders are likely to sell the shares.
23 July 2013 (c) Prof. Prasad Kulkarni 57
Market capitalization: Total value of business shares on the stock market. When the earnings and dividends are low, the market value of the shares also drops. Price/ earnings ratio: The relationship between EPS and the price at which the shares are traded. It is the market value divided by EPS. This should not come down

Executive performance needs to be judged on success at meeting a mix of both financial and non-financial measures to effectively operate a business. Some non-financial measures are drivers of financial outcome measures which give managers more control to take corrective actions quickly.
23 July 2013 (c) Prof. Prasad Kulkarni 67
Too many measures, such as hundreds of possible cost accounting index measures, can confuse and distract an executive from focusing on important strategic priorities.The balanced scorecard disciplines an executive to focus on several important measures that drive the strategy.

Begin the meeting by explaining why you believe your company should be setting goals, and what those goals should ultimately achieve, such as better productivity, better customer satisfaction or better inter-office relationships.
23 July 2013 (c) Prof. Prasad Kulkarni 71
Ask for ideas for goals that the company could try to meet. Write all the ideas on a large piece of poster board or white board. Discuss how each goal could potentially be met. Choose three goals from the brainstorming session that you are going to commit to keeping as a company. Strategize on how the goals will be met, what you expect to get out of setting that goal, and a timeline for those changes to take place. Be specific and write down all the ways you can achieve the goals you've chosen. Write about the the goals in a memo to send out to everyone in the company, so everyone knows what was discussed in the meeting. Post the goals in prominent places around the office, so they are constantly fresh in all of the employees' minds.

Industry
It is a group of companies offering products or services that are close substitutes for each other- that is products or services that satisfy the same basic customer needs.
Sector
Groups of closely related industries Example Telecommunication sector telecommunication equipment industry telecommunication service industry Market segments: These are different group of customers within a market that can be differentiated from each other on the basis of homogeneity
Whether industry members are racing to differentiate their products from rivals by a. offering better performance features b. higher quality c. improved customer service d. wider product selections
Rivals resort to a. Special promotions b. Heavy advertising c. Rebates d. Low interest finance
How actively industry members are pursuing efforts to build stronger dealer networks. How hard companies are striving to gain market edge over rivals by developing valuable expertise and capabilities that rivals are hard presses to match
Rivalry intensifies as the number of competitors increases and as competitors become more equal in size and capability Rivalry is usually stronger in slow growing markets and weaker in fast growing markets.
Rivalry is usually weaker in industries comprised of so many rivals that the impact of any one companys action is spread thin across all industry members; likewise it is often weak when there are fewer than five competitors.
Rivalry increases when buyer demand falls and sellers find themselves with excess capacity/inventory. Rivalry increases as it becomes less costly for buyers to switch brands. Rivalry is more intense when industry conditions tempt competitors to use price cuts or other competitive weapons to boost unit volume.
Rivalry increases when one or more competitors dissatisfied with their market position. Rivalry becomes more volatile and unpredictable as the diversity of competitors increases in terms of visions objectives, strategies and resources.
Rivalry increases when strong companies outside the industry acquire weak firms in the industry and launches aggressive well funded moves. A powerful successful competitive strategy employed by 1 company greatly intensify the competitive pressure on its rivals to develop effective strategic responses
b. Entry barriers are low or can be readily hurdled by the likely entry candidates ( ex: Entry of Prestige into induction cooker market) c. When existing industry members are looking to expand their market reach by entering product segments or geographical areas when they currently do not have presence Ex: chandrika soap with glycerin and Mysore sandal in North India
New comers can expect to earn attractive profits Example: entry of Go air in the airline segment Buyer demand is growing rapidly Example: Android phones Industry members are unable to strongly contest the entry of new comers ( Idea- spice Karnataka)
Entry threats are weaker when a. Pool of entry candidates are small example: Uninor, virgin etc b. Entry barriers are high example: Insurance sector pay upfront 100 crore c. Existing competitors are struggling to earn high profitts Example: Usha Martin
d. The industry outlook is risky or uncertain Example: telecom equipment company e. Buyer demand is growing slowly or stagnant Example: color television f. Industry members will strongly contest the efforts of new entrants to gain a market foot hold Example: Jiva versus Medimix
Threat of substitutes
Threat of substitutes are stronger when a. Good substitutes are readily available or new ones are emerging example: Digital pen versus pen b. Substitutes are attractively priced example: china silk versus kanchi silk.
Substitutes have comparable or better performance features example : windows versus Google chrome. End users have low costs in switching to substitutes example: carbonated drinks versus fruit beverages.
Substitutes are weaker when 1. Good substitutes are not readily available or dont exist example: Music CD versus USB 2. Substitutes are highly priced relative to the performance they deliver Example: Hair oil versus almond oils
End users have high costs in switching to substitutes Example: Digital greetings versus Archie's
Signs that competition from substitutes is strong when a. Sales of substitutes are growing faster than sales of the industry being analyzed ( Pureit versus aquagueard) b. Profits of the producers of substitutes are on the rise( tubeless tyres versus tyres.
Threat of suppliers
The power of Microsoft and Intel on PC makers. Supplier bargaining power is higher when a. Industry members incurs high costs in switching their purchase to alternative suppliers. Example: company procuring steel from Tata steel world cheapest producer of Iron.
Needed inputs are short in supply Example; Indian oil depends OPEC decisions Sellers product enhances the image of the product Seagate and Intel in the PCs. There are only few suppliers of a particular input Example: Airbus and boeing
Some suppliers threaten to integrate forward into the business of industry members and perhaps become powerful rival example: ITC transformation from commodity business leader to FMCG maker.
Supplier bargaining power is weaker when a. Commodity readily available from many suppliers example: fertilizers b. Sellers switching cost alternatives are low Example: Namadhari seeds, seed teck, parrys Mahyco
Good substitute inputs exists or new ones emerge Example : BT brinjal There is a surge of suppliers Ex: Anchor, haevell, surya, ABB etc.. Industry member is biggest purchaser of the product Example: Maruti versus Gabriel shock observers.
Industry members are a threat to integrate backward into the business of suppliers and to self manufacture their own requirement. Ex: Hindustan lever chemicals and seeds.
Threat of Buyers
Buyer switching costs to competing brands or substitute products are low Ex: Switch in the FMCG product Buyers are large and can demand concessions when purchasing large quantities Ex: Jain irrigation can bargain more with steel manufacturers.
Large volume purchases by buyers are important to sellers Ex: KPTCL and ABB. There are few buyers Ex: Electricity manufacturers in Karnataka Identity of buyer adds prestige to sellers list of customers Ex: JK tyres and automobile manufactures
Buyer have the ability to postpone purchases until later if they do not like the present deals being offered by sellers Ex: BSNL postponed telecom equipment procurement.
Bargaining power is weaker when A. Buyer purchases in small quantity B. Buyer switching cost to competitor is high ( Sony Explod to other music players) C. There is a surge in buyer demand that creates seller market( Real estate)
d. A seller brand reputation is important to buyers Ex: IFB washing machine whirlpool refrigerator. 5. Buyer collaboration or partnering with selected sellers provides attractive Win win opportunities CEAT and two wheeler manufacturer
Entry or exit of major firms Diffusion of technical knowledge Changes in cost and efficiency Consumer preferences shift from standardized to differentiated products (or vice versa) Changes in degree of uncertainty and risk
definition
Industry driving forces are those that have the biggest influence on what kinds of changes will take place in the industry structure and competitive environment Driving forces analysis has two steps a. Identifying what the driving forces are b. Assessing the impact they will have on the industry
Identifying an industrys driving forces Growing use of internet and emerging new internet technology applications - Internet is working as new distribution channel - Due to internet rivalry among competitor is increasing - Helps in better supplier coordination - Squeeze out the costs of internal operation.
Increasing globalization - Seeking customers in foreign countries - Outsourcing the production operations changes in long term industry growth rate - Shifts in industry growth up or down are driving force for industry change affecting the balance between industry supply and buyer demand entry and exit and the character and strength of competition.
- Higher the demand greater the activities of existing and new companies in the segment. changes in who buys the product and how they use it - Shift in buyer demographics and new ways of using the products.(c d) product innovation - New products brings new customers create new product differentiation among sellers. - Innovation in the products strengthens the market position( digital camera, toys and drugs)
technological change and manufacturing process innovations - New technology- lower cost-opening up whole new industry frontiers. - Technology developments has effects on a. Capital requirements b. Minimum efficient plant sizes c. Distribution channels and logistics d. Learning curve effects
Marketing innovations - Internet marketing - Rural models entry or exit of major firms - Entry of foreign firms - Entry of established firm from another segment Diffusion of technical know how across more companies and more countries.
Changes in cost and efficiency : widening and shrinking in the costs among key competitors tend to dramatically alter the state of competition.( email and fax effect on postal servie) growing buyer preferences for differentiated products instead of a commodity product. - Buyer varieties and consumer switching - Buyer sometimes needs fixed product ( example : online trading)
reductions in uncertainty and business risks. - Emerging industry- risk taking enterprises - Once the emerging industry more number of companies will enter the businesses. Regulatory influences and government policy changes - Deregulations - Protecting the domestic companies
Definition
KSFs are those competitive factors that most affect industry members ability to prosper in the market place the particular strategy elements, product attributes, resources, competencies, competitive capabilities and market achievements that spell the difference between being strong competitor and weak competitor
How well a company product offering resource and capabilities measure up against an industry just how financially and comparatively successful that company will be
KSF for beer industry 1. Full utilization of capacity 2. Strong network of wholesale dealers 3. Clever advertising
KSFs vary from industry to industry and even from time to time within the same industry, as driving forces and competitive conditions change Identifying KSFs for industry 1. Attributes of competitors product offering are casual 2. Resources and competitive capabilities does a company need to have to be competitively successful. 3. Shortcomings those are almost certain to put a company at a significant competitive disadvantage

Valuable organizational assets ( Panasonic factory in Japan) Valuable intangible assets ( Sony) Important competitive capabilities ( Parachute Marico) An attribute that places a company in a position of market advantage ( Chik, cavin care) Alliances or cooperative ventures with partners ( Hero Honda)
Core Competencies
A competence becomes a core competence when the wellperformed activity is central to a companys competitiveness and profitability
Often, a core competence results from collaboration among different parts of a company Typically, core competencies reside in a companys people, not in assets on a balance sheet A core competence gives a company a potentially valuable competitive capability and represents a definite competitive asset
Distinctive Competence
A distinctive competence is a competitively significant activity that a company performs better than its competitors A distinctive competence
Represents a competitively valuable capability rivals do not have Presents attractive potential for being a cornerstone of strategy Can provide a competitive edge in the marketplace because it represents a competitively superior resource strength
Examples

Grand Strategies
Grand strategies, often called master or business strategies, provide basic direction for strategic actions Indicate the time period over which longrang objectives are to be achieved Any one of these strategies could serve as the basis for achieving the major longterm objectives of a single firm Firms involved with multiple industries, businesses, product lines, or customer groups usually combine several grand strategies
7-265
Product Development
Innovation Horizontal Integration Vertical Integration Concentric Diversification
Divestiture
Liquidation Bankruptcy Joint Ventures Strategic Alliances
Consortia
266
Concentrated Growth
Concentrated growth is the strategy of the firm that directs its resources to the profitable growth of a dominant product, in a dominant market, with a dominant technology Concentrated growth strategies lead to enhanced performance Specific conditions favor concentrated growth The risks and rewards vary
7-267
Market Development
Market development commonly ranks second only to concentration as the least costly and least risky of the 15 grand strategies It consists of marketing present products, often with only cosmetic modifications, to customers in related market areas by adding channels of distribution or by changing the content of advertising or promotion Frequently, changes in media selection, promotional appeals, and distribution are used to initiate this approach
7-268
Product Development
Product development involves the substantial modification of existing products or the creation of new but related products that can be marketed to current customers through established channels
7-269
Innovation
These companies seek to reap the initially high profits associated with customer acceptance of a new or greatly improved product Then, rather than face stiffening competition as the basis of profitability shifts from innovation to production or marketing competence, they search for other original or novel ideas The underlying rationale of the grand strategy of innovation is to create a new product life cycle and thereby make similar existing products obsolete
7-270
Horizontal Integration
When a firms long-term strategy is based on growth through the acquisition of one or more similar firms operating at the same stage of the production-marketing chain, its grand strategy is called horizontal integration Such acquisitions eliminate competitors and provide the acquiring firm with access to new markets
7-271
Vertical Integration
When a firms grand strategy is to acquire firms that supply it with inputs (such as raw materials) or are customers for its outputs (such as warehouses for finished products), vertical integration is involved The main reason for backward integration is the desire to increase the dependability of the supply or quality of the raw materials used as production inputs
7-272
Ex. 7.7
7-273
Concentric Diversification
Concentric diversification involves the acquisition of businesses that are related to the acquiring firm in terms of technology, markets, or products With this grand strategy, the selected new businesses possess a high degree of compatibility with the firms current businesses The ideal concentric diversification occurs when the combined company profits increase the strengths and opportunities and decrease the weaknesses and exposure to risk
7-274
Conglomerate Diversification
Occasionally a firm, particularly a very large one, plans acquire a business because it represents the most promising investment opportunity available. This grand strategy is commonly known as conglomerate diversification. The principal concern of the acquiring firm is the profit pattern of the venture Unlike concentric diversification, conglomerate diversification gives little concern to creating product-market synergy with existing businesses
7-275
Turnaround
The firm finds itself with declining profits Among the reasons are economic recessions, production inefficiencies, and innovative breakthroughs by competitors Strategic managers often believe the firm can survive and eventually recover if a concerted effort is made over a period of a few years to fortify its distinctive competences. This is turnaround. Two forms of retrenchment: Cost reduction Asset reduction
7-276
Elements of Turnaround
A turnaround situation represents absolute and relative-to-industry declining performance of a sufficient magnitude to warrant explicit turnaround actions The immediacy of the resulting threat to company survival is known as situation severity Turnaround responses among successful firms typically include two stages of strategic activities: retrenchment and the recovery response The primary causes of the turnaround situation have been associated with the second phase of the turnaround process, the recovery response
7-277
Divestiture
A divestiture strategy involves the sale of a firm or a major component of a firm When retrenchment fails to accomplish the desired turnaround, or when a nonintegrated business activity achieves an unusually high market value, strategic managers often decide to sell the firm Reasons for divestiture vary
7-278
Liquidation
When liquidation is the grand strategy, the firm typically is sold in parts, only occasionally as a wholebut for its tangible asset value and not as a going concern Planned liquidation can be worthwhile
7-279
Bankruptcy
Liquidation bankruptcyagreeing to a complete distribution of firm assets to creditors, most of whom receive a small fraction of the amount they are owed Reorganization bankruptcythe managers believe the firm can remain viable through reorganization Two notable types of bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Chapter 11
7-280
Joint Ventures
Occasionally two or more capable firms lack a necessary component for success in a particular competitive environment The solution is a set of joint ventures, which are commercial companies (children) created and operated for the benefit of the co-owners (parents) The joint venture extends the supplierconsumer relationship and has strategic advantages for both partners
7-281
Strategic Alliances
Strategic alliances are distinguished from joint ventures because the companies involved do not take an equity position in one another In some instances, strategic alliances are synonymous with licensing agreements Outsourcing arrangements vary
7-282
7-283
When strategic planners study their opportunities, they try to determine which are most likely to result in achieving various long-range objectives Almost simultaneously, they try to forecast whether an available grand strategy can take advantage of preferred opportunities so the tentative objectives can be met In essence, then, three distinct but highly interdependent choices are being made at one time
7-284
Retrenchment strategies
Retrenchment is a short-run renewal strategy designed to overcome organizational weaknesses that are contributing to deteriorating performance. Retrenchment strategies call for two primary actions: cost cutting and restructuring
23 July 2013 (c) Prof. Prasad Kulkarni 286
Retrenchment strategy alternatives include shrinking selectively, extracting cash for investment in other businesses, and divestment. restructuring involves an organization refocusing on its primary business. Variants of Retrenchment Strategy: The three major variants of retrenchment strategy are turnaround strategy, survival strategy and liquidation strategy.

Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited-Turnaround Success Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited (KPC) was set up in 1958.

During the recession in the late 1990s, the sales bottomed out and the management realized that the business could not grow any more. This triggered a period of introspection and the company started looking inwards. Every time any business hits the bottom, there are two perspectives external and internal. Since the management had little control over external factors, it focused on managing the internal working of the company. Fortunately, even on the external front, the company had a chance to buy out one of their major competitors K G Khosla. The move started in 1994 when KG Khosla Company became sick and the ICICI requested the Kirloskars to manage this business. Subsequently both the companies, KPC & KG Khosla, were merged in the year 2000.
23 July 2013

The first thing KPC management team did was to understand the business of KG lines, style of business, etc. Then it started leveraging the synergies between the two companies. Since the sales of the KPC were already bottoming out and the Khosla product line with its manufacturing facilities was added to its plant in Pune, the company was left with no other option except to cut costs across the board. By the end of 2000, the management of KPC had through an understanding with the staff at Faridabad plant of KG Khosla reduced the employee strength considerably. The VRS at Faridabad was introduced with a total understanding with the parting staff. KPC then shifted 90 people from Pune to Faridabad for about three months during which time the company saw to it that the production continued at Faridabad with these workers. After this activity at Faridabad, the company also restructured its Pune plant by reducing the strength by 650 people. The final strength of employees at both the plants after this whole downsizing exercise finally stood at 800.

The company then turned its attention on restructuring its debt to bring the interest costs down. The third element of improvement was adding new product lines to its existing range while concentrating on improving the efficiency of its existing products. As a result, KPC turned around after successful implementation of all these wellplanned initiatives during the period 1999 2002.

Comprehensive profit improvement plans were put in place through promotions, SKU rationalizations, cost reduction and improved asset management. Functional excellence initiatives ensured that each and every process within the organization is benchmarked against peer group companies and process improved through a well-defined action plan.

Post Restructuring Scenario After the divestiture of Geep battery business, grooming business (blades and razors) has emerged as the single largest business accounting for 70% of turnover. Focus has been on the premium double edge, which was declining earlier, but with focused support and advertising this product made a strong rebound. Mach III the flagship brand of the company continues to perform extremely well with its niche premium positioning. Overall, the blades and razors business has registered a 22% growth. In addition, a new product called Vector Plus has been introduced in India. The product, which is an outcome of three years of development at its Boston Research and Development Facility, is based on the Indian consumer habits.

In personal care business, the main focus was on the tube shaped gel and the Gillette Series products in aerosol, gel, foam, after-shave and splash. This segment has registered a growth of 400%. Activities aimed at preventing the growth gray market have also aided growth in this segment. The oral care strategy for India has been revised to target the mass segment. Two products have been launched - Oral-B Classic and Oral-B Plus, both positioned in the popular price segment. This business has grown by 34% during 1999. The alkaline battery segment (Duracell), accounts for a small part of turnover, but company enjoys a very high market share in the category. The strategy here would be wait and watch till the alkaline category starts growing. This business has grown at about 11% year on year.

Restructuring
It is the process of reorganizing and divesting business units and exiting industries to refocus on companys core business and rebuild its distinctiveness
Why restructuring?
Stock market valuation is less for the diversified company. Investors see highly diversified company unattractive for four reasons 1. Multi business system do not have proper business models 2. Companies hide the performance result of weaker firms 3. Diversification reduces profitability 4. Innovation in the businesses
Retrenchment Strategies
Turnaround (most conservative) often involves layoffs Divestment Liquidation (most extreme) A retrenchment strategy is often accompanied by a reorganization process known as corporate restructuring.

Strategic control
The process of continuous review of the strategy between the phase of strategy implementation and obtaining the intended objectives
Premise control
It is designed to check systematically and continuously whether the premises on which the strategy is based are still valid. If the designed strategy idea is not good that can be rejected Planning the premise control dependence on environmental and industry factors.
Strategy should be controlled on various environmental factors such as inflation, technology, interest rates, regulation and demographic factors. Premise control also got affected by industry factors like competitive suppliers, product substitutes, and barriers to entry.
Strategic surveillance
It is designed to monitor a broad range of events inside and outside the firm that are likely to affact the course of its strategy Business world, business today, trade conferences conversations intended and unintended observations are all subjects of strategic surveillance
Implementation control
It is designed to assess whether the overall strategy should be changed in light of the results associated with the incremental actions that implement the overall strategy. Implementation control depends on Two factors i.e. monitoring strategic thrusts and milestone review
Monitoring strategic thrust or projects 1. Implementing the process in phases and monitoring. 2. Managers will be observing the process continuously.
Milestone review 1. Identify significant milestones 2. Milestones are critical events, major resource allocation etc 3. Establish the milestone period point.
Operational control
Operational control is aimed at the allocation and use of organizational resources through an evaluation of the performance of organizational units such as division, SBUs to assess their contribution to the achievement of the organizational objectives
Evaluation process for operational control a. Setting standards of performance b. Measurement of performance c. analyzing variance d. Taking corrective actions
a. Setting standards. - The key managerial tasks - The special requirement for the performance of the key tasks can help to determine the type of standards to set. - Performance indicators that best express the special requirements could then be decided upon to be used for evaluation.
b. Measurement system - Difficulties in measurement - Timing of measurement - Periodicity in measurement c. Analyzing the variance. - The actual performance matches the budgeted performance
The actual performance deviates positively over the budgeted performance The actual performance deviates negatively from the budgeted performance.
d. Taking corrective actions - Checking of performance - Checking of standards - Reformulating strategies plans and objectives.
Monitoring performance and evaluating deviations ( same as operational control) Monitoring performance - Difficulties in measurement - Timing of measurement - Periodicity in measurement Analyzing variance - Actual performance matching with budgeted, positive and negative of the performance
Strategic evaluation
The process of determining the effectiveness of a given strategy in achieving the organizational objectives and taking corrective actions wherever required
What to be evaluated
Objectives Environmental objectives Internal conditions Resource capabilities
Evaluation techniques for operational control - Internal analysis a. Value chain analysis b. Quantities analysis c. Qualitative analysis - Comparative analysis
