,Strategic Management, 4e (Rothaermel)
Chapter 1 What Is Strategy?

1) A good strategy is a set of actions that enables a firm to achieve its own internal goals without
regard to the external environment.

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: The success of a strategy heavily depends on the external environment. A good
strategy is a set of actions that enables a firm to achieve superior performance relative to its
competitors. In this light, a strategy which produces only a minor loss of revenues while
competitors suffer heavy losses can be seen as successful.

2) The following statement by the chief executive of SunStar movie studio is an effective
strategy: "We will produce the greatest films of the 21st century."

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Grandiose statements are not strategy. Although SunStar's vision of producing the
highest-quality films among all studios may lay the foundation for an effective strategy, it must
be backed up by a clear set of actions that will allow the firm to address the competitive
challenge with clear consideration of value creation and costs.

4) A mission describes how a firm will accomplish the broad goals set out in a vision statement.

5) Product-oriented vision statements are better suited than customer-oriented vision statements
for helping companies to adapt to changes in the external environment.

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Product-oriented vision statements often constrain the ability of a firm to respond
to changes in the external environment by focusing employees on improving existing products
and services without consideration of underlying customer problems to be solved. A customer-
oriented vision helps firms respond to changes in the external environment by defining the
business in terms of providing solutions to customer needs.

Learning Objective: 01-04 Evaluate the strategic implications of product-oriented and customer-
oriented vision statements.

7) Managers should create two sets of core values, one for employees and one for themselves.

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Employees tend to follow values practiced by strategic leaders. They observe the
day-to-day decisions of top managers and quickly decide whether managers are merely paying
lip service to the company's stated values. Organizational core values must be lived with
integrity, especially by the top management team.
