Competing in the marketplace is like war.
You have injuries and casualties, and the
best strategy wins.

you; it forces your hand.

Most important
drivers shaping a
firm’s strategic
options fall into
two categories
Firm’s competitive
capabilities,
market position,
best opportunities
Nature of industry
and competitive
conditions
Overview: Matching Strategyto a Company’s Situation
Features of an Emerging Industry
• New and unproven market

industry future clears and risk lessens
Features of High Velocity Markets
• Rapid-fire technological change
• Short product life-cycles
• Rapidly evolving customer expectations
• Frequent launches of new competitive moves
• Entry of important new rivals
Strategy Options for Competingin High Velocity Markets
• Invest aggressively in R&D
• Develop quick response capabilities
– Match rivals
– Shift resources
– Adapt competencies

– Speed new products to market
• Use strategic partnerships to develop specialized expertise and capabilities
Keys to Success in Competingin High Velocity Markets
• Cutting-edge expertise
• Speed in responding to new developments
• Collaboration with others
• Agility
• Innovativeness
• Opportunism
• Resource flexibility
• First-to-marketcapabilities
Characteristics of Industry Maturity
• Slowing demand generates stiff competition
• More sophisticated buyers demand bargains
• Greater emphasis on cost and service
• “Topping out” problem in adding production capacity
• Product innovation and new end usesharder to come by
• International competition increases
• Industry profitability falls
• Mergers and acquisitions reduce the number of industry rivals
Strategy Options for Competingin a Mature Industry
• Prune product line
• Emphasize process innovation
• Strong focus on cost reduction
• Increase sales to present customers
• Purchase rivals at bargain prices
• Expand internationally
• Build new, more flexible competitive
capabilities
Competing in a Mature Industry: The Strategy Pitfalls and Mistakes
• Employing a ho-hum strategy with no stand-out or distinctive features thus leaving the company “stuck in the middle” with no good options for improving its position
• Concentrating on short-term profits rather than strengthening long-term competitiveness
• Being slow to adapt competencies to changing customer expectations
• Being slow to respond to price-cutting• Having too much excess capacity• Overspending on marketing• Failing to pursue cost reductions aggressively
Stagnant or Declining Industries: The Standout Features
• Demand grows more slowly than economy as whole (or even declines)
• Competitive pressures intensify--rivals battle for market share
• To grow and prosper, firm must take market share from rivals
• Industry consolidates to a smaller number of key players via mergers and acquisitions
Strategy Options for Competingin a Stagnant or Declining Industry
• Pursue focus strategy aimed at fastest growing market segments
• Stress differentiation based on quality improvement or product innovation
• Work diligently to drive costs down by
– Outsourcing
– Redesign internal processes
– Consolidate under-utilized production facilities
– Close low-volume, high-cost distribution outlets
– Cut marginal activities from value chain
Competing in a Stagnant Industry: The Strategic Mistakes
• Being overly optimistic about industry’s
future (believing things will get better)
• Getting embroiled in a profitless battle for
market share with stubborn rivals
• Diverting resources
out of the business too
quickly
Competitive Features ofFragmented Industries
• No seller has a sizable market share (sometimes because the industry is so new that no large firms have yet emerged)
• Exploding technologies force firms to specialize just to keep up in their area of expertise
• Low entry barriers
• Absence of scale economies
• Buyers require small quantities of customized products (a condition that allows small firms to serve the special needs of a few buyers)
• Market is so big or diverse that it requires many firms to satisfy buyer needs
Examples of Fragmented Industries
Book publishing
Landscaping and plant nurseries
Auto repair
Restaurant industry
Public accounting
Women’s dresses
Meat packing
Paperboard boxes
Hotels and motels
Furniture
Competing in a Fragmented Industry: The Strategy Options
• Construct and operate “formula” facilities
• Become a low-cost operator
• Increase customer value via backward or
forward integration
• Specialize by product type
• Specialize by customer type
• Focus on limited geographic area
What Is the Motivationfor Competing Internationally?Gain access to

Competitive Features ofInternational Markets
• Market differences among countries
• Cost variations among countries
• Fluctuating exchange rates
• Differences in host government trade policies
• Pattern of international competition
Market Differences Among Countries
• Buyer needs and habits
• Distribution channels
• Long-run growth potential
• Driving forces
• Competitive pressures
Cost Differences Among Countries
• Wage rates
• Worker productivity
• Natural resource availability
• Inflation rates
• Energy costs
• Tax rates
• Fluctuating currency exchange rates
=
Differences in HostGovernment Trade Policies
• Import tariffs or quotas
• Local content requirements
• Price control policies
• Other regulations
– Technical standards
– Product certification
– Minority ownership by local citizens
– Prior approval of capital spending projects
– Withdrawal of funds from country
Manufacturing Share vs. Market Share
• Firm with the biggest manufacturing share isbest able to fully capture scale economies
• Consequently manufacturing share is a better indicator than market share of the industry’s global low-cost producer
Pattern of International Competition
Multicountry
Competition
Global
Competition
Characteristics ofMulti-Country Competition
• Each country market is self-contained
• Competition in one country market is independent of competition in other country markets
• Rivals competing in one country market differ from set of rivals competing in another country market
• Rivals vie for national market leadership
• No “international” market, just a collection of country markets
Characteristics of Global Competition
• Competitive conditions across country markets are strongly linked together
– Many of same rivals compete in many of the same country markets
– Rivals vie for worldwide leadership
– A true international market
• A firm’s competitive position in one country is affected by its position in other countries
• A firm’s overall competitive advantage is based on its entire world-wide operations
Types of International Strategies
• Licensing
• Exporting
• Multicountry strategy
• Global low-cost strategy
• Global differentiation strategy
• Global focus strategy
• Global best-cost strategy
Multi-Country Strategy
• Strategy in each country market is matched to local market circumstances
• Different country strategies are called for when
– Buyers in one country want a product that is different from buyers in another country
– Host government regulations precludeuniform global approach
• Two drawbacks
1. Poses problems of transferring competencies across borders
2. Works against building a unified competitive advantage
Global Strategy
• Strategy for competing is similar in all country markets
• Involves
– Coordinating strategic moves globally
– Selling in many, if not all, nations where significant market exists
• Works best when products and buyer requirements are similar from country to country
Competitive Strategy Principle
A global strategy works best in
markets that are globally
competitive or beginning to globalize!
A multi-country strategy is
appropriate for industries
where multi-country
competition dominates!
Global Strategy andCompetitive Advantage
• Two avenues to gain competitive advantage
1. Locating activities among nations to lower costs or achieve greater product differentiation
2. Coordinating dispersed activities in ways domestic-only competitor cannot
Principle of Competitive Markets
With a global strategy, a firm can
pursue sustainable competitive
advantage by locating activities in
the most advantageous countries
and coordinating strategic actions
worldwide. A domestic-only
competitor forfeits such
opportunities!
Locating Activities toBuild a Global Advantage
• Two issues
– Whether to concentrate each activity
• In one or two countries or
• To disperse activities to different nations
– Where to locate activities (which country is best location for which activity?)
Concentrating vs. Dispersing Activities to Build Global Advantage
• Activities should be concentrated when
– Scale economies or experience curve effects need to be captured
– Coordination of related activities is enhanced
• Activities should be dispersed when
– They need to be performed close to buyers
– Transportation costs, scale diseconomies, or trade barriers make centralization expensive
– Buffers for fluctuating exchange rates, supply interruptions, and adverse politics are needed
Coordinating Activities toBuild a Global Advantage
• Achieve dominating depth in a competitively valuable area by transferring competencies, capabilities, resource strengths from one country to another
• Shift production from one location to another to take advantage of most favorable cost or trade conditions or exchange rates
• Enhance brand reputation by incorporating same differentiating attributes in its products in all markets where it competes
• Choose when and where to challenge rivals
Achieving Global Competitivenessvia Strategic Alliances
• Allows firms to compete on a
– More global scale and
– Preserve their independence
• Types of alliances
– Joint research efforts
– Technology-sharing
– Joint use of production facilities
– Marketing one another’s products
– Joint manufacturing or assembly
Benefits of Strategic Alliances
• Gain scale economies in production and/or marketing
• Fill gaps in technical expertise or knowledge of local markets
• Share distribution facilities and dealer networks
• Direct combined competitive energies toward defeating mutual rivals
Pitfalls of Strategic Alliances• Becoming too dependent on another firm for
essential expertise over the long-term
• Different motives and conflicting objectives
• Time consuming
• Language and cultural barriers
• Mistrust when collaborating in competitively sensitive areas
• Clash of egos and company cultures
Guidelines in FormingStrategic Alliances
• Pick a compatible partner
• Choose ally whose strengths complement firm’s products and customers
• Learn thoroughly and rapidly about partner’s technology and management
• Do not share competitively sensitive information
• View alliance as temporary, not permanent
How Strategic Intent VariesAmong Industry Competitors
• GLOBAL DOMINANCE
Pursue global strategy
• DOMINANCE IN HOME MARKET
Defend home country market while pursuing international sales in foreign markets
• MULTINATIONAL
Pursue multicountry strategy
• DOMESTIC-ONLY
Focus on home country market
What Are Profit Sanctuaries?
• Country markets where firm
– Has a strong or protected market position and
– Derives substantial profits
• Generally, a firm’s most strategically crucial profitsanctuary is its home market
Profit sanctuaries are a valuable competitive asset in
global industries
Concept: Critical Markets
• Critical markets are country markets that
– Are profit sanctuaries of one or more key competitors in the industry (or have the potential to become a sanctuary)
– Have big sales volumes
– Include prestigious customers whose business it is strategically important to have
– Offer exceptionally good profit margins
Concept: Cross-Subsidization• Involves supporting competitive efforts in one
market with resources/profits diverted from operations in other markets
• Competitive power of cross-subsidization results from a global firm’s ability to
– Charge lower prices or otherwise launch a strategic offensive to lure away a domestic firm’s customers and cover losses with profits earned in other critical markets
Competitive Strategy Principle
To defend against aggressive multinational competitors intent on global dominance, a
domestic-only competitor usually has to
– Abandon its domestic focus
– Become a multinational competitor
– Craft a multinational competitive strategy
Why a Global Competitor CanDefeat a Domestic-Only Firm
• A one-country firm is hard-pressed to defend its
market share in the long-term against a global firm
intent on global dominance because
• Global or multicountry rivals can use profits earned
elsewhere to subsidize price cutting in domestic
firm’s profit sanctuary
– If domestic firm retaliates with matching price cuts it erodes its own profitability in its only profit sanctuary
Characteristics of Industry Leaders
• Stronger-than-average to powerful position
• Well-known reputation
• Proven strategies
• Strategic concern -- How to sustain dominant leadership position
Strategy Options: Industry Leaders
Stay-on-the-offensive strategy
Fortify-and-defend strategy
Follow-the-leader strategy
Stay-on-the-Offensive Strategies
• Best defense is a good offense
• Be a first-mover
• Relentlessly pursue continuous improvement and innovation
• Force rivals to scramble to keep up
• Launch initiatives to keep rivals off balance
• Grow faster than industry, taking market share from rivals
Objectives:Fortify-and-Defend Strategy
• Make it harder for new firms to enter and for challengers to gain ground
• Hold onto present market share
• Strengthen current market position
• Protect competitive advantage
Fortify-and-Defend: Strategic Options
• Increase advertising and R&D
• Provide higher levels of customer service
• Introduce more brands to match attributes of rivals
• Add personalized services to boost buyer loyalty
• Keep prices reasonable and quality attractive
• Build new capacity ahead of market demand
• Invest enough to remain cost competitive
• Patent feasible alternative technologies
• Sign exclusive contracts with best suppliers and distributors
Objectives: Follow-the-Leader Strategy
• Use competitive muscle to encourage runner-up firms to be content followers
• Signal smaller rivals that moves to cut into leader’s business will be hard fought
Follow-the-Leader: Strategic Options
• Be quick to meet competitive price cuts
• Counter with large-scale promotional campaigns if challengers boost advertising
• Offer better deals to major customers of maverick firms
• Dissuade distributors from carrying rivals’ products
• Attempt to attack key executives of rivals

Types of Runner-up Firms
• Market challengers
– Employ offensive strategies to gain market share
• Content followers
– Willing to coast in current position because profits are adequate
I’m trying!
Strategic Options forRunner-up Firms: Case # 1
Where large size yields significantly lower unit costs giving large-share firms a cost advantage, two options exist
1. Build market share
• Become a lower-cost producer
• Pursue a differentiation strategy
2. Withdraw from business
Rule of Offensive Strategy
Runner-up firms should avoid
attacking a leader head-on with an
imitative strategy, regardless of
resources and staying power an
underdog may have!
Strategic Options forRunner-up Firms: Case # 2
• Where large size does not yield a cost advantage, runner-up firms have six strategy options:
1. Vacant niche strategy
2. Specialist strategy
3. “Ours is better than theirs” strategy
4. Content follower strategy
5. Growth via acquisition strategy
6. Distinctive image strategy
Overcoming Obstaclesof Small Size
• Where big size is a competitive asset, firms with low market share face obstacles
– Less access to economies of scale
– Difficulty in gaining customer recognition
– Inability to afford mass media advertising
– Difficulty in funding capital requirements
Overcoming Obstaclesof Small Size: Strategic Options
• Focus on a few segments where strengths can yield a
competitive edge
• Develop technical expertise highly valued by customers
• Aggressively pursue development of new products for customers in target segments
• Use innovative entrepreneurial approaches to out-manage slow-to-change leaders
Weak Businesses: Strategic Options
• Launch a strategic offensive
• Play aggressive defense
• Pursue immediate abandonment
• Adopt a harvest strategy
What Is a Harvest Strategy?
• Steers middle course between status quo and exiting quickly
• Involves gradually sacrificing market position in return for bigger near-term cash flow/profit
• Objectives
– Short-term - Generate largest feasible cash flow
– Long-term - Exit market
Types of Harvesting Options
• Reduce operating budget to rock-bottom
• Hold reinvestment to minimum
• Emphasize stringent internal cost controls
• Place little priority on new capital investments
• Raise price gradually
• Trim promotional expenses
• Reduce quality in non-visible ways
• Curtail non-essential customer services
• Shave equipment maintenance
When ShouldHarvesting Be Considered?
• Industry’s long-term prospects are unattractive
• Building up business would be too costly
• Market share is increasingly costly to maintain
• Reduced levels of competitive effort will not trigger immediate fall-off in sales
• Firm can re-deploy freed-up resources in higher opportunity areas
• Business is not a major component of diversified firm’s portfolio of businesses
• Business does not contribute other desired features to overall business portfolio
Achieving a Turnaround: The Strategic Options
• Revise existing strategy
• Launch efforts to boost revenues
• Cut costs
• Sell off assets to generate cash and/or reduce debt
• Combination of efforts
13 Commandments for Crafting Successful Business Strategies
1. Always put top priority on crafting and executing strategic moves that enhance a firm’s competitive position for the long-term and that serve to establish it as an industry leader.
2. Understand that a clear, consistent competitive strategy, when well-crafted and well-executed, builds reputation and recognizable industry position whereas a strategy aimed solely at capturing momentary market opportunities yields fleeting benefits.
3. Endeavor not to get “stuck back in the pack” with no coherent long-term strategy or distinctive competitive position, and little prospect of climbing into the ranks of the industry leaders.
4. Invest in creating a sustainable competitive advantage, for it is a most dependable contributor to above-average profitability.
13 Commandments for Crafting Successful Business Strategies
5. Play aggressive offense to build competitive advantage and aggressive defense to protect it.
6. Avoid strategies capable of succeeding only in the best of circumstances.
7. Avoid rigidly prescribed or inflexible strategies --changing market conditions may render it quickly obsolete.

13 Commandments for Crafting Successful Business Strategies
8. Don’t underestimate the reactions and the commitment of rival firms.
9. Be wary of attacking strong, resourceful rivals without first having solid competitive advantage and ample financial strength.
10. Consider that attacking competitive weakness is usually more profitable than attacking competitive strength.
13 Commandments for Crafting Successful Business Strategies
11. Be judicious in cutting prices without an established cost advantage.
12. Be aware that aggressive strategic moves to wrest crucial market share away from rivals often provoke aggressive retaliation in the form of a marketing “arms race” and/or price wars.
13. Employ bold strategic moves in pursuing differentiation strategies so as to open up very meaningful gaps in quality or service or advertising or other product attributes.
