Class Summary
GE’s Experience Illustrates:• Benchmarking (relative cost position analysis) is a key first step to make vs. buy and plant location
decisions.• Key question to ask: “Are we as good as the best in the world at this activity?”• Be careful about letting “nationalistic” ideals unduly influence decisions (need a geocentric mindset).
Also, understanding the technology is critical for top managers to make the right decisions.Benchmarking Example Illustrates:
• Firms may need a dedicated “competitive intelligence” team to continuously benchmark competitor practices.
• Focus on key cost areas (80/20 rule). Don’t waste resources• Detailed analysis (data) on processes and practices (visits, interviews) is necessary to understand
what processes to actually change/adopt.
