Lecture 15 Strategy Analysis And Choice
Grand Strategy Matrix • Popular tool formulating alternative strategies • All organizations (or divisions) can be positioned in one of four quadrants • Based on two evaluative dimensions: Competitive position – Market growth –
RAPID MARKET GROWTH 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. WEAK COMPETITIVE POSITION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Quadrant II Market development Market penetration Product development Horizontal integration Divestiture Liquidation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Quadrant I Market development Market penetration Product development Forward integration Backward integration Horizontal integration Concentric diversification Quadrant III Quadrant IV Retrenchment 1. Concentric diversification 2. Horizontal diversification 3. Conglomerate diversification 4. Joint ventures Liquidation SLOW MARKET GROWTH STRONG COMPETITIVE POSITION
Grand Strategy Matrix Quadrant I Excellent strategic position • Concentration on current markets and products • Take risks aggressively when necessary •
Grand Strategy Matrix Quadrant II • Evaluate present approach seriously • How to change to improve competitiveness • Rapid market growth requires intensive strategy
Grand Strategy Matrix Quadrant III • Compete in slow-growth industries • Weak competitive position • Drastic changes quickly • Cost and asset reduction indicated (retrenchment)
Grand Strategy Matrix Quadrant IV Strong competitive position • Slow-growth industry • Diversification indicated to more promising growth areas •
Formulation Framework Stage 3: The Decision Stage Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM)
QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • Only technique designed to determine the relative attractiveness of feasible alternative actions
QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • • • Tool for objective evaluation of alternative strategies Based on identified external and internal crucial success factors Requires good intuitive judgment
QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • List the firm’s key external opportunities & threats; list the firm’s key internal strengths and weaknesses • Assign weights to each external and internal critical success factor
QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • Examine the Stage 2 (matching) matrices and identify alternative strategies that the organization should consider implementing • Determine the Attractiveness Scores (AS)
QSPM Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix • Compute the total Attractiveness Scores • Compute the Sum Total Attractiveness Score
QSPM Key External Factors Economy Political/Legal/Governmental Social/Cultural/Demographic/ Environmental Technological Competitive Key Internal Factors Management Marketing Finance/Accounting Production/Operations Research and Development Computer Information Systems Strategic Alternatives Weight Strategy 1 Strategy 2 Strategy 3
QSPM Limitations: • Requires intuitive judgments and educated assumptions • Only as good as the prerequisite inputs
QSPM Positives: • Sets of strategies examined simultaneously or sequentially • Requires the integration of pertinent external and internal factors in the decision-making process
Cultural Aspects of Strategy Choice Culture: • The set of shared values, beliefs, attitudes, customs, norms, personalities, heroes, and heroines that describe a firm
Cultural Aspects of Strategy Choice Culture: • Successful strategies depend on degree of support from a firm’s culture
Politics of Strategy Choice Politics in organizations: • • • Management hierarchy Career aspirations Allocation of scarce resources
Politics of Strategy Choice Political tactics for strategists: • • • Equifinality Satisfying Generalization Focus on Higher-Order Issues Provide Political Access on Important Issues
Role of A Board of Directors Duties and Responsibilities: 1. 2. 3. 4. Control and oversight over management Adherence to legal prescriptions Consideration of stakeholder interests Advancement of stockholders’ rights
