Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
Economic,
societal, political,
and government
regulations
• What an enterprise can and cannot do
strategywise is always constrained by
what is legal, by what complies with
government policies and regulatory
requirements, by what is considered
ethical, and by what is in accord with
societal expectations and the standards
of good social and community
citizenship.

Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• An industry's competitive conditions
and overall attractiveness are big
strategy-determining factors.
• A company's strategy has to be tailored
to the nature and mix of competitive
factors in play—price, product quality,
performance features, service, war-
ranties, and so on.

conditions and

attractiveness
Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• A company's strategy needs to be
deliberately aimed at capturing its best
growth opportunities, especially the
ones that hold the most promise for
building sustainable competitive
advantage and enhancing profitability.
• Strategy should also provide a defense
against external threats to the
company's well-being and future
performance.

Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• One of the most pivotal strategy-shaping
internal considerations is whether a
company has or can acquire the
resources, competencies, and capabilities
needed to execute a strategy proficiently.
• The best path to competitive advantage is
found where a firm has competitively
valuable resources and competencies,
where rivals can't develop comparable
capabilities except at high cost or over an
extended period of time.

strengths and
weaknesses,
competencies and
capabilities
Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• Managers do not dispassionately assess
what strategic course to steer.
• Their choices are typically influenced by
their own vision of how to compete and
how to position the enterprise and by what
image and standing they want the
company to have.

Factors Shaping the Choice of Strategy
• An organization's policies, practices,
traditions, philosophical beliefs, and ways
of doing things combine to create a
distinctive culture.
• The stronger a company's culture, the
more that culture is likely to shape the
company's strategic actions, sometimes
even dominating the choice of strategic
moves.

Levels of Strategy
2017/03/15

Corporate Level Strategy
• What businesses are we in? What
businesses should we be in?
• Four areas of focus
– Diversification management (acquisitions and
divestitures)
– Synergy between units
– Investment priorities
– Business level strategy approval (but not
crafting)

Business Level Strategy
• How do we support the corporate strategy?
• How do we compete in a specific business arena?
• Three types of business level strategies:
– Low cost producer
– Differentiator
– Focus
• Four areas of focus
– Generate sustainable competitive advantages
– Develop and nurture (potentially) valuable capabilities
– Respond to environmental changes
– Approval of functional level strategies
Functional / Operational Level Strategy
• Functional: How do
we support the
business level
strategy?
• Operational: How do
we support the
functional level
strategy?
• An example.
• Business L.S.: Become
the low cost producer of
widgets
• Functional L.S. (Mfg.):
Reduce manufacturing
costs by 10%
• Operational (Plant #1):
Increase worker
productivity by 15%

Striving forCompetitive Advantage
• To achieve sustainable competitive advantage, a company’s strategy usually must be aimed at either
– Providing a distinctive product or service or
– Developing competitive capabilities rivals can not match
• Achieving a sustainable competitive advantage greatly enhances a company’s prospects for
– Winning in the marketplace and
– Realising above-average profits
What separates a powerful strategy from an ordinary strategy is management’s ability to forge a series of moves,
both in the marketplace and internally, that produces sustainable competitive advantage!
Strategic Approaches to Building Competitive Advantage
• Strive to be the industry’s low-cost provider
• Outcompete rivals on a key differentiating feature
• Focus on a narrow market niche, doing a better job than rivals of serving the unique needs of niche buyers
• Develop expertise, resource strengths, and capabilities not easily imitated by rivals

Five Generic Competitive Strategies
Best Cost Strategy • Giving customers more value for the
money by incorporating good-to-
excellent product attributes at a lower
cost than rivals
• The target is to have the lowest (best)
costs and prices compared to rivals
offering products with comparable
upscale attributes
