0.1. The concept of strategy
- 4 big issues in these classes
o Concepts and evolution of strategic “schools of thought” WHAT?
§ To be understood to understand strategic management as a science
o Boundaries of the firm: WHERE?
§ Main issue in corporate strategy - sea level
• What do we do and what not?
• Example: you’re a car maker and you sell cars. You decide to
sell insurances and financial products for cars. They will act as a
portal because they offer a favorable way. The question is
what will we do and what will we not? We need to look at the
boundaries of our services. Where do they begin and end?
o Fundamental question, sky is not the limit
o There should be good reasons why you would add
something to your services
§ Horizontal: size of the company (producing how much?)
• How many products?
o Ex: cars, insurances, financial products, …
§ Vertical: what will we produce? Ourselves (“make or buy”)?
• Ex: you do soft drink, distribution, and packaging
• Ex: you make diamantes but also own the mines
§ Corporate (company as a whole): on which market(s) do we want to
be?
§ Finally, we decide on our portfolio
§ Decisions based on rational (sometimes less rational) elements of
boundaries
o Competition: WHO and HOW?
§ Business unit level
• Once we know which market, we’re in
• Consider this market and who’s in that market
4
, • This is not as easy to identify (online, virtual markets)
§ Type of market business is operating in: WHO?
• Challenging to identify
• Online and offline could be different competitors
§ E.g., airplane industry versus consumer products (e.g., Boeing versus
Unilever)
§ Kind of interaction of rivals: HOW?
• What are the dynamics
• Once we know who is on the market, how do we react if the
competitor does something
• Possible price wars
• How can we explain actions?
o Positioning and dynamics: WHY?
§ Are we making good decisions based on the company, do we have
resources, location, good website? …
• What do we have as a company?
• What are we good at?
§ Where do we want to be? low cost, differentiation, ...
§ Which competitive advantage do we want to have? Do we have the
resources and capabilities for that?
§ Most crucial yet difficult
• Not over or underestimating the strengths and weaknesses of
the company
- What is strategy
o Distinguishing strategy from tactics:
§ Strategy is the overall design and philosophy to plan for deploying
resources to establish a favorable position / reach success
§ Tactic is a scheme for a specific maneuver
• It’s different from a strategy
• More short time
o Ex: cheating on an exam
o Ex: I’m going to be in class and fulfill the exams as asked
o Characteristics of strategic decisions:
§ Important
§ Involve a significant commitment of resources
• Hours of resources
• Capital
• Not only money, also time
§ Not easily reversible
• Example: you start studying something, when you decide to do
something else, there will be some classes you took who will
no longer be useful, but you did put time and effort into it
§ Long term
