COURSE DESCRIPTION• Today’s Business World is extremely competitive. It relies
heavily on the decisions made by its (Strategic) Managers / Strategic Management. The strategic managers must develop panoramic view of business environment, i.e., both internal and external. The managers of modern businesses should be adequately skilled to pre-empt the situation rather than resorting to reactive mode. Recent economic slowdown and currency war raging between the USA, Europe (Euro Zone) and China are cases in example. Therefore, the strategic management course has been designed to enable you to learn not only the fundamentals, but also the intricacies of higher levels of management. A careful look at the schedule would let you know the progression of the course.

STRAT MGMT & CEO
• All Org are run by the CEO’s• Explain role of CEO vis-vis Strat Mgmt and challenges they face
– CEOs are synonymous with the success and failure of the org– Strat Mgmt is based on participatory decision making techniques
with the CEO taking full responsibility for the outcome • Leadership roles:
– Romantic ---- Leader is the key to success or failure – External Factor ---- Focus is on the external factors for success
or failure of the Org • Explain recent examples:
– BP Oil Rig disaster and its fallout – OGDC– Downfall of BCCI– Recent economic downturn in USA / Euro Zone / DPW etc
11
STRAT MGMT
• The Essence of STRAT MGMT is to focus on 2 fundamental
questions:
– How should we compete in order to create competitive advantages (CA) in the market place
– How can we create competitive advantage in the market place that are not only unique, sustainable and valuable but also difficult for competitors to copy or substitute.
• Important to note is:
– Sustainable CA cannot be achieved without operational effectiveness which means performing similar activities better than rivals.
• Operational Effectiveness includes concepts of TQM, just-in-time, benchmarking, business process reengineering, and outsourcing etc
• Strategy is all about being different from everyone else.
12
SUCCESSFUL STRAT MGMT
• An industry is composed of a set of firms that produce similar products or services, sell to similar customers, and use the similar methods of production.
• Gathering industry information and understanding competitive dynamics among the different companies in an industry is key to successful strategic management.
13
STRAT MGMT DEFINITION
• What is Strat Mgmt?• Step further than incremental management – Taking minor
decisions in a stable, simple and unchanging industry. • Does it happen always? No, therefore, need for Strat
Mgmt which is defined as:• “Analyzing, taking decisions, and initiating actions in order
to create and sustain competitive advantage.”• Biggest Question
– How (and when) and why do some firms outperform others?
• Critical Answer– The challenge to managers is to decide on strategies that provide
advantages that can be sustained over time
14
STRAT MGMT AND 4 KEY ATTRIBUTES
• Directed at overall organizational goals – Looking at the strategic issues rather than functional
areas – What to produce and at what cost • Involving multiple stakeholders
– Involve owners, employees, customers, suppliers, and the community at large
• Incorporating short term and long term perspectives – Keep an eye on the current production needs as well
as vision for the future ---- Creative Tension• Recognizing need for trade-offs between
efficiency and effectiveness– Using organizational resources wisely and optimally
15
THE STRAT. MGMT PROCESS
• It involves 3 related principal activities:– Analysis
• Of strategic goals (V + M + Strat Obj)
• Internal and External Environment of the Org
– Decisions (Strategic)• Based on Org’s domestic and international operations, the Org
should address 2 basic questions, i.e., 1. What industries should we compete in?
2. How should we compete in those industries?
– Actions• In order to achieve success as a result of decisions, the
necessary resources must be made available for a desirable outcome.
• It is a continuing process and seeks intimate involvement of CEO
• Be able to differentiate between Intended Strategy and Realized Strategy
17
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND STAKEHOLDERS MANAGEMENT
• Management (CEO)– To run the Org to satisfy the interests and
needs of the shareholders under the guidelines prepared by BOD
• Shareholders (Owners)
• BOD (Elected by the shareholders to represent their interests)– To align the interests and motives of the
management with those of the owners
ROLE OF CEO--- Electronic Data System since 1962
• In 1998 --- EDS earned $22Bn (Total market $140Bn) as Revenue with shares trading at $35.
• In March 2003 --- Shares shrunk to $16. Additionally, EDS’s reputation was tarnished due investigations by S&EC resulting in loss of competitive position.
• EDS CA -- technical competence, steady growth, old CEO’s conservative culture --- crisp white shirt and military cut hair style v/s new CEO’s culture --- gung-ho style to get rid of bureaucratic life style
• To spur growth the new CEO pushed for “megadeals” requiring outsourcing companies to make large investments. Resultantly, stocks were pushed up to $77. By 2001, CEO (Mr. Brown) received $52M in compensation.
18
EDS- WHAT WENT WRONG • CEO’s Attitude --- Over ruling the managers• By 2002, Navy contract suffered loss of $1.9Bn due poor
calculation of margins – Megadeals / megarisks• In the same time frame, a contract with Worldcom signed in
1998 incurred a loss of $118M due bankruptcy of Worldcom as a result of Internet Bubble Burst
• 2002 estimates were fudged and investors were assured of 13-14% growth despite recession
• Stocks plunged to $11.68• By 2003, EDS BOD lost patience and replaced CEO• Closing statement: Pay for performance, differentiate
performance- not organizational level….make difficult choices. Do as I say, not as I do.

• Creating Symbiosis or Zero Sum • Two views
1. Zero Sum --- All the stakeholders are to be satisfied:• Employees want higher wages • Shareholders want higher profits • Zero sum concept gives rise to Unionism
2. Stakeholder symbiosis ---- Managers acknowledge
interdependence between employees, suppliers,
customers, shareholders and the community at
large

individuals will strive to improve the overal welfare of the society.

nutrition, safety, security, and fossil fuels
• Social includes assets of civil society, social cohesion, trust,
reciprocity, equity and other values that provide mutual
benefits
22
THE STRAT. MGMT Perspective --- An imperative
• It requires managers to take an integrative view of the Org and assess how all of the functions and activities fit together to help an Org achieve its goals and objectives.
• Some Key Driving Forces are: 1. Globalization
– Global economy is NOT the flow of goods only but it is flow of capital, people, and information worldwide.
2. Technology– Innovative technology is having impact on our lives, trade,
services and products
3. Intellectual Capital – Creating and applying knowledge to deliver differentiated
products and services of superior value for customers require the acquisition of superior talent, as well as ability to develop and retain that talent

• Ideas must be encouraged, analyzed and implemented
• Trg and Dev must move hand in glove
EMPLOYEES AND STRAT MGMT

enduring, overarching strategic priorities and competitive
positioning.
