Corporate Strategy


Ansoff Matrix
Marketing planning tool which helps a business determine its growth strategy.

Market Penetration:

 Businesses focus on selling existing products in an existing market.
 Least risky, lower potential rewards.
 Seeks to achieve four main objectives:
- Maintain or increase market share of current products
- Restructure a mature market by driving out competitors
- Secure dominance of growth markets
- Increase usage by existing customers

e.g. Tesco launching a £5 million advertising campaign

Market Development:

 Businesses seek to sell existing products in a new market.
 More risky strategy than market penetration due to the targeting of new markets.
 There are many possible ways of approaching this strategy:
- New geographical markets
- New product dimensions or packaging
- New distribution channels (e.g. moving to e-commerce and mail order)
- Different pricing policies to attract different customers or create new market segments

e.g. Google launching their search engine in China

Product Development:

 A business aims to introduce new products into existing markets.
 May require the development of new competencies and the business to develop modified products
which appeal to existing markets.
 A successful product development strategy places the marketing emphases on:
- Research & development and innovation
- Detailed insights into customer needs
- Being first to market

e.g. Cobra Beer launching a draft version of its bottled beer.

Diversification:

 A business sells new products in new markets
 High risk strategy due to little experience in new market with new product
 Chance of being highly rewarding

e.g. NESCAFE developing a range of soft drinks
