SUCCESS STORIES….

It’s all about the Strategic Management

Presented By:MANIK KUDYARMBA-HRM1200712

What is Strategy???

The word “strategy” is derived from the Greek word “stratçgos”; stratus (meaning army) and “ago” (meaning leading/moving).

Strategy is an action that managers take to attain one or more of the organization’s goals.

Strategy is a well defined roadmap of an organization.

It defines the overall mission, vision and direction of an organization. The objective of a strategy is to maximize an organization’s strengths and to minimize the strengths of the competitors.

Strategy, in short, bridges the gap between “where we are” and “where we want to be”.

Strategic Management

Strategic Management is all about identification and description of the strategies that managers can carry so as to achieve better performance and a competitive advantage for their organization.

An organization is said to have competitive advantage if its profitability is higher than the average profitability for all companies in its industry.

Success Story of “MAGGI”

The Origin In Switzerland in 1863, Julius Michael Johannes Maggi developed a formula to bring added taste to meals.

This marked the beginning of the Maggi brand and its lines of convenient food products. 

Maggi merged with Nestlé in 1947. Maggi has been offering high quality and innovative products ever since.

Indian Success Maggi owned by Nestle is a brand that created a category for itself in

the Foods market in India.

The brand which is famous for the Noodles has evolved into the umbrella brand for Nestle in the Food segment.

Nestle launched its noodles in the Indian market in the early 1980's.

Nestle wanted to explore the potential for such an Instant food among the Indian market.

Maggi has faced lot of hurdles in its journey in India.

The basic problem the brand faced is the Indian Psyche.

Initially Nestle tried to position the Noodles in the platform of convenience targeting the working women. But it found that the sales are not picking up despite heavy promotion.

The Repositioning StrategyResearch showed that Kids were the largest consumers of the brand.

Realising this, Nestle repositioned the brand towards the kids using sales promotions and smart advertising.

Now Indians are the largest eaters of Maggi Noodles in the world. Maggi Noodles is a MARKETING SUCCESS STORY.

The NISSIN Effect It was during the late 1990’s that Indo Nissin - a Japanese company

launched its Noodles brand "Top Ramen" with lot of promotion and with SRK endorsing the brand.

TopRamen gave Maggi a run for its money.

Change in Taste (Maggi)- A Big Failure- The consumers rejected the new taste of Maggi.

Maggi – It’s Back- And in 1999 Maggi relaunched Noodles with the original taste.- Nestle was ready to accept the consumers verdict and it paid off

handsomely.- Top Ramen could not sustain the growth it had for long.

Success Story of “NIKE”

The HISTORY of the BRAND

Nike was established by a couple of students from the University of Oregon.

Phil Knight - was engaged in running (an athlete), and his companion - Bill Bowerman was his athletic trainer. 

In the early 60's American sports shoes cost about $ 5, and the quality was appropriate. 

Athletes got blisters, but one could not afford to buy expensive, high-quality German shoes.

In 1964, Knight and Bowerman developed their business plan to sell inexpensive shoes by designing them in America, manufacturing in Japan (due to cheap labor), and selling it in the United States at lower prices than the German footwear.

The first batch was sold from the truck near the tracks. So were earned first 8 thousand dollars. The partners decided to continue to cooperate with the Japanese and the project was named BLUE RIBBON SPORTS.

1965 was a year of changes for the company name to the Greek goddess of victory Nike, which the manager of the company saw in a dream. By this time, Knight had already managed to sell shoes worth $ 1 million.
