Business Strategies – Develop, Formulate and Execute a Strategy
“Resource-based management strategy theory” uses VRIO framework to analyze internal
strengths and weaknesses.
Value: Company’s technology superior to competitors? Better human
resources? Network of customers? Assets of high values?
Rarity: How are the assets rare compared to competitors?
Imitability: Is it difficult to copy the technology or the business model? Can
“rarity” be maintained for a period of time?
Organization: Is the organizational structure appropriate?

Business Strategies – Develop, Formulate and Execute a Strategy
Differentiation
strategy
Cost-based
strategy „Stuck in the
middle“
strategy
Hybrid strategies
Often we see hybrid strategies because …
cost leadership does not sell products
differentiation can be used to increase sales or charge a premium price
price can be used to differentiate
clear linkage between core competences and value adding activities
generic approach of Porter is not reflecting the needs of different areas (e.g. HR)

3) Expected product (e. g. car with certain comfort + performance)
4) Augmented product (e. g. car with surprising features)
5) Potential product (e. g. car with autonomous driving and shared ownership)

Business Strategies – Area Strategies and their Integration
The product life cycle importance of new products

share or dominance is important; be aware of changes in the market
Decline: extension strategies or repositioning of the product; “milking”
strategy without new investments

Make or Buy

7.4. Procurement/ Purchasing II
Business Strategies – Area Strategies and their Integration
Make or Buy?
“Make” an activity itself
Contracts with supply firms cannot exclude all
risks. If so it is costly (asymmetric information)
Difficult to measure performance of the
supplying firm
Delivery risk can shutdown a production
Full control of „private“ information
No “transaction costs” of negotiating, writing,
contracting etc.
“Concentrate on core activites and outsource non-core activities” (Campbell et al. 2017, p. 46)
“Buy” an activity from a supplier
Market firms are often more efficient
No overhead/ bureaucracy costs
Flexibility
Independent firms must survive market
competition higher innovation rate
No inhouse accounting/ planning necessary
Better adaption to capacity

7.4. Procurement/ Purchasing III
Business Strategies – Area Strategies and their Integration
Bargaining power of suppliers are determined by:
the uniqueness and scarcity of the resource that the supplier provide
the cost of switching to another resource
how many other companies/ industries are interested in the resource
the number and size of the suppliers
Global Sourcing = Selection of suppliers across the world
and the procurement of goods/ services
across geographical boundaries for the
global supply chain

organization.” (Campbell et al. 2017, p. 48)

“Culture is the organizational equivalent of a human’s personality.” (Campbell et al. 2017, p. 53)

2) Symbols and rituals are loosing
orientation force.
3) New people offer new orientation
patterns.
4) Old and new cultures conflict.
5) If new patterns/ orientations resolve
the crisis, they are accepted.

Building “agile” structures
“Talent matters, but in many cases organization matters more.” (D. Ulrich 2016)
HR has to create both: talent and
capability.
HR knows the company: Analyse what the
organization is good at doing.
Create dynamic structures from outside-in
perspectives (e.g., project organization,
scrum methodology)

elements […] are aligned with each other.” (Kaplan/ Norton 2008, p. 125)
