Honda’s Entry (Customer?)

Enter the Motorcycle Market in North America
Most NA Dealers were unwilling to accept an untested product line.
Of the units sold in NA, it became apparent the vehicle was not designed for highway use. Repairs on warrantied bikes significantly drained the company.
The Honda employees began to “dirt-bike” to vent their frustrations in the hills of Los Angeles. Their neighbors thought it looked fun and began requesting “dirt-bikes”
Honda switched to the new, untested, recreational off-road market.
“You meet the Nicest People on a Honda”

Strategic Implications of the Experience Curve
First movers in a fast growing market will secure a widening cost advantage. Firm’s must grow as fast, or faster, than rivals or be at a cost disadvantage.

Advantages Continued….
Understanding the behavior of costs allows for more sophisticated pricing strategies. The experience curve can be used:
•As a basis for pricing a production run or contract•As a basis for market share based pricing strategy•As a basis for planning future prices
12
Continued…
Experience curves can be plotted for a company and its competitors to assess how well each company is managing its costs. Companies with the greatest cumulative experience should have the lowest costs (if business is properly defined).
Product life cycles influence how you use the experience curve for pricing. Products with a short product life cycle (rapid development of new models) need to be priced to make money more quickly because they can’t count on a long learning curve and long productions runs.

Measuring Success
Airline ProfitabilityAirline Profitability
In order to survive and profit in this tough environment, airlines attempt to manipulate three main variables:
Cost, calculated as total operating expenses divided by available seat miles (ASM)
Yield, calculated as total operating revenues divided by the number of revenue passenger miles (RPM)
Load Factor, calculated as the ratio between RPMs and ASMs, which measures capacity utilization.
Profitability = [yield X load factor] - cost

COST ADVANTAGE AT SOUTHWEST“Airlines don’t have revenue problems, they have cost problems.” Southwest.
Conventional Strategy: Meals, pre-assigned seats, membership in airline reservation system, travel agents, and hub & spoke system are key to success.
Southwest Strategy: Lowest cost operations and lowest prices.
Sales/Marketing Operations Human Resource Mgmt.
• Offer direct flights to busy cities of less than 500 miles• No pre-assigned seats• Little reliance on travel agents (saves 5-10%)• Snacks rather than meals• Prices 20-50% lower than the competition
• Fly only Boeing 737s (smallest, most fuel efficient craft)• Train pilots & mechanics only on 737s• Fly to cheaper, less congested airports (i.e. Love Field Dallas; Midway, Chicago)• Don’t transfer baggage to other airlines• Fast turnaround of aircraft (20 minutes vs. 50 minutes for industry)
• Initially non-union, now partially union labor• Cross training, flexible workforce• Employees receive same pay per job hour regardless of location (low turnover overall but accept high turnover in high cost areas; i.e. Calif.)
COST ADVANTAGE AT SOUTHWEST CONTINUED…• Airfares in Southwest markets are roughly 25 percent lower than in non-Southwest markets.
• Southwest has an average 65 percent marketshare compared with less than 40 percent for other airlines in their top 100 markets.
• Unit costs of other airlines are 50-60 percent higher than Southwest’s, except for America West with unit costs that are 20 percent higher.
•Southwest has been the most profitable U.S. airline from 1980-1995.

Achieving Differentiation Advantage
How one goes about obtaining a differentiation advantage depends upon the nature of the product/service:
• Observable Goods: the buyer can easily form accurate judgements about the quality of a product.
• Experience Goods: the buyer finds it difficult and/or costly to determine the quality of the product prior to purchase and use.
• Communication/Network Goods: the value to the buyer rises as the number of buyers and users increases.
And it embraces the whole relationship between supplier and customer
27
Differentiating Observable Goods
By differentiating an observable good the producer acts to reduce the total cost of use to the buyer. Very often this requires an increase in product price. But in successful differentiation the price increase is more than offset by a reduction in the costs experienced by the buyer. The aim is not be the low cost producer but TO BE THE LOW COST PROVIDER.

Strategic Positioning
The essence of strategic positioning is to make choices that are different from those
of rivalsStrategy is not a race to one ideal position ---
it is the creation of a different positionDifferences in positioning are necessary but
not sufficient for sustainable competitive advantage
• Sustainable advantage depends on barriers to imitation
• Advantage is magnified by mutual reinforcement across activities

Alliances-How far have we come?
“Alliances are mere transitional devices and because of this they are destined to fail”
Michael Porter
“Many so-called alliances between Western companies and their Asian rivals are little more than sophisticated outsourcing arrangements -- the traffic is almost entirely one way”
Hamel, Doz, and Prahalad
“Avoid alliances like the plague.”Reich and Mankin

THE FUTURE….
Supply chain management will become increasingly important for competitive advantage
Teams of companies will increasingly compete with other teams (extended enterprise); lean teams will win
Leveraging the full resources of the extended team will be critical

Challenges for Horizontal Alliances
Leveraging each partner’s resources while protecting proprietary know-how; many horizontal alliances are inherently learning races.
Building trust with potential competitors; simultaneously cooperating and competing (Co-opetition)
Less ability to “control” partner decisions (relative to supplier alliances).

50
Favorable Conditions for Horizontal Alliances
The partner’s strategic goals converge while their competitive goals diverge.• (e.g., Philips and Du Pont collaborate to mfg. compact disks; neither
invades the other’s market)
The size, market power, and skills/resources of partners is modest compared with industry leaders; an attempt to catch up.• (e.g., Japanese chipmakers collaborate to develop chips; U.S.
automakers collaborate on autobody and battery technology).
Each partner believes it can learn from the other and at the same time limit access to proprietary skills • (e.g., Xerox and Fuji alliance; Xerox gets access to Japanese market
and technology in Japan; Fuji participates in copier business; Fuji believes it can protect film business while Xerox believes it can protect worldwide copier business)
51
The Logic for Joint Ventures
Alliance objective is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, such as R&D alliances (need incentives to bring best technology)
Desire to create a “new culture” (resources, processes, values) that fit the new opportunity.
Desire to limit liability of parent companies.
Superior way to measure alliance performance (separate P&L)
52
Identify Partners with:• Strategic Fit: Compatible resources, assets, and capabilities• Cultural Fit: Compatible cultures and work processes
Establish clear performance objectives & monitor performance• for the alliance and requirements for each partner; make technology
transfer dependent on meeting performance requirementsDevelop plan to learn from partners
• Invest in absorbing key skills/technology from partners while protecting protect proprietary knowledge/skills as much as possible.
Use appropriate “governance” mechanisms• Build trust and align the incentives of partnering firms (e.g., joint
stock ownership is superior to legal contracts for eliciting knowledge transfer).
Create a “Strategic Alliance” function in your firm• Assign responsibility to acquire and codify knowledge with regard to
effective alliance management practices.
