Please do not boo or hiss or throw things at the group.
THANK YOU!
Introduction
Chapter 2 is an excellent review to help us remember what core requirements are required for a successful and strategic business plan. The author built the concepts that will follow this chapter on these basics principles.
Corporate Strategy vs. Business Strategy
Corporate Strategy- The focus is on “where” a business should invest its resources. It also focuses on “what” businesses are chosen for competition. What level of resources should be invested across the business portfolio. The product market may be undefined.
Business Strategy- By contrast the focus is on “how” the company should compete in a defined product market. How will the company differentiate their products?

Porter’s Five Forces - Augmented
Competitive Market Dynamics – Opportunities and Threats
Customers:– Who are they? How much do they buy?– Under what circumstances would they buy more
from us?– Are any groups particularly important?– Why do they buy our product/service?– How sensitive are they to price, quality, or
service?
Competitive Market Dynamics – Opportunities and Threats Suppliers:
– Who are our major suppliers and how much do we buy from each?
– Under what circumstances would we buy more or less?
– Are any suppliers or groups particularly important to us?
– Why do they buy our product/service?
– What supply factors are critical to us - price, quality, reliability or service?
Competitive Market Dynamics – Opportunities and Threats
Substitute Products:– What substitutes for our products/services exist in
the market place?
– How are they different from our offerings in terms of price, quality and performance?
– How likely are our customers to switch to a competitor’s products or services?
Competitive Market Dynamics – Opportunities and Threats
New Entrants:
– What are the barriers to entry deterring new entrants into our market?
– How strong is our brand franchise?
– How difficult would it be for a competitor to imitate the way we do business?
Competitive Market Dynamics – Opportunities and Threats Competitive Rivalry:
– Is the industry growing or shrinking?
– Are there few or many competitors?
– Is there overcapacity?
– What are the switching costs for customers?
– What is the ownership structure for competing firms?
– How important is our market to each of them?
Competitive Market Dynamics – Opportunities and Threats
Other Forces:– Government and political environment
– Technology
Resources and Capabilities
Analyze Internal Strengths & Weaknesses
– Assets - resource, owned/controlled by entity, that will yield future economic benefits
– Resources - a strength of the business embodied in the tangible or intangible assets that are tied semi-permanently to the firm
Balance Sheet Assets
( Assets used by a firm to generate revenues )
Current Assets- cash & other assets that will be turned into cash during the accounting cycle
Productive Assets- assets used to produce goods and services for customers
Intangible Assets- assets that have value yet are not material or physical
Current Assets(Cash, marketable securities,
accounts receivable, inventory…)
Cash need for inventory purchases, pay “bills”, meet current debt obligations
Cash Reserves important for funding growth or acquisition strategies
*Profit planning and performance measurement must include analysis of cash flows, cash reserves, and forecasts of cash required.
Productive Assets
(Computers/IT Equipment, Buildings, Manufacturing Equipment)
Represent assets necessary to compete directly or indirectly; technology, machinery, infrastructure
Productive Assets- must be sufficient in quantity and type to support the firm’s strategy.
Performance Measurement & Control Toolkit- offers techniques to analyze their acquisition and measure their effectiveness
Intangible Assets(Copyrights, Patents, Goodwill, Valuable Licenses)
Intangible Assets- are most often NOT seen,and have met the condition of having “the ability to quantify value with reasonable precision”
Examples- lease agreements, purchase of broadcast licenses, goodwill created from the purchase of a subsidiary
Intangible Resources
Resources that are critical to achieving profit goals and strategies, yet are rarely recognized on a firm’s financial statements. They include:
Distinctive Internal Capabilities.
Market Franchises.
Networks and Relationships with Suppliers and Customers.
Special resources and know-how possessed by a firm that give it competitive advantage in the marketplace
Distinctive Internal Capabilitiesdefined:
Types of Distinctive Internal Capabilities
Functional Skills-
Refers to the strengths (and weaknesses) in the major functional areas of a business, such as research and development, IT, production and manufacturing, marketing and sales.
Market Skills-
Refers to a business’s ability to respond quickly and effectively to market needs.
Embedded Skills-
Refers to the tangible resources that are difficult to acquire and/or replace. E.g. physical plant, distribution channels and information technology etc.
Distinctive Internal Capabilities
Take a long time to develop.
Are hard to copy/imitate.
In some instances are created by being the “first mover”.
Are the lifeblood of any firm operating in a competitive market.
Are a firms most valuable assets but most of them are not valued on a firm’s balance sheet. Hence the name, “Invisible Assets”.
Market Franchises *This refers to a business’s distinctive ability to attract
customers who are willing to purchase the business’s products and services based on marketwide perceptions of value.
Franchising requires high investment and managerial commitment to sustain existing and potential customer brand perception.
Financial accounting standards in North America do not allow the recognition of franchise value on a firm’s financial statement.
Relationships and Networks
Long term relationships are critical intangible
resources that must be nurtured with important
suppliers and customers.
Business to Suppliers
Business to Customer
Types of Relationships and Networks
Business to Supplier
This relationship is important to ensure the timely, most cost effective and efficient delivery of all the factor inputs essential to the success of any business.
Business to Customer
Distribution networks/channels are necessary to facilitate the flow of goods and services from the producer to the end consumer.
The 4 Ps of Strategy
Perspective- creating a mission
Position- choosing how to compete
Plan- setting performance goals
Patterns- feedback and adjustments
The 4 Ps of Strategy Perspective
Ideals, values and history woven together to view opportunities surrounding the business.
Mission– Provides perspective to all a firm’s activities
Five forces– Used to understand customers, suppliers,
products and competitors
The 4 Ps of Strategy Position
Managers must choose how to create value for customers based on the firm’s mission.– SWOT
How will the firm compete?– On Quality?– On Service?– On Product Design?– On Niche Strategy?
The 4 Ps of Strategy Plan
Managers must find ways to effectively implement strategy based on the firm’s position.– Preparing Plans– Communicating Intended Strategy– Coordinating Resources– Motivating Employees– Measuring/Monitoring Implementation
The 4 Ps of StrategyPatterns
Managers must use feedback mechanisms to either maintain or realign strategy.– Fostering Creativity– Challenging Subordinates to Share Ideas– Emergent Strategy
Strategy that emerges spontaneously as employees respond to unpredictable threats and opportunities through trial and error

“With Food Sales Flat, Nestle´Stakes Future on Healthier Fare” WSJ 3/18/04
-The article depicts how Nestle´ is rethinking their strategic plan in order to sustain profitability in a changing market. The food industry is facing stagnant growth, Nestle´ is attempting to mingle science with food to serve a niche market for health conscious consumers. The products are known as “phood”. These products help lower cholesterol, aid in digestion, and provide other health benefits. Nestle´ has been mixing food with science since the 1800’s when one of their scientists invented baby formula to fight infant mortality.
-They are serious about this leap into this product extension, since they have invested 1/5 of its food budget ($600M), and 3500 people for R&D
Opportunities for the Food Industry
•Review Products
•Re-evaluate communication and education strategies
•Contribute to the scientific understanding of weight

In Summary...The dimensions of the 4 Ps must be managed
appropriately:
Finding the correct strategy is not an easy or task or every manager would reap the rewards of success
SWOT analysis is a necessary tool to understand the internal & external dynamics of a firm.
The 5-Forces Model should be used to understand the market as a whole.
The bottom line should be the creation of value for the stock holders and stakeholders of the company, and most importantly, the customers.
