Summary of ‘Strategic Management’ Chapter 1 - 10

, Chapter 1

Strategic management: integrative management field that combines analysis, formulation and
implementation in the quest for competitive advantage.

Competitive advantage: superior performance relative to other competitors in the same industry or
the industry average.

 Either provide goods or services that consumers value more highly than those of competitors
or goods/services similar to those of competitors but at lower price.

Sustainable competitive advantage: outperforming competitors or the industry average over a
prolonged period of time.

Competitive disadvantage: underperformance relative to other competitors in the same industry or
the industry average.

Competitive parity: performance of two or more firms at the same level.

Strategy: the goal-directed actions a firm intends to take in its quest to gain and sustain competitive
advantage.

- Manager’s theory about how to gain and sustain competitive advantage
- Being different from your rivals
- Creating value while containing cost
- Deciding what to do and what not to do
- Combines a set of activities to stake out a unique position
- Requires long-term commitments that are often not easily reversible.

- A firm that possesses competitive advantage provides superior value to customer at
competitive price or acceptable value at lower price.
- Profitability and market share are the consequences of superior value creation.
- The greater the difference between value creation and cost, the greater the economic
contribution the firm makes, and thus the greater the likelihood for competitive advantage.

Co-opetition: cooperation by competitors to achieve a strategic objective = win-win scenario’s.

Essence of strategy is being different from rivals and thus unique  accomplished through strategic
positioning: staking out an unique position in an industry that allows the firm to provide value to
customers, while controlling costs.

Strategy is used as a theory of how to compete.

The strategic management process is a never-ending cycle of analysis, formulation, implementation
and feedback.

strategy



Corporate managers decide which markets / how to create different synergy /setting strategic goals /
allocating resources / monitoring performance / making adjustments to the overall business portfolio
when needed / determine scope of business / decide whether to enter industries or sell divisions.

General managers in SBUs must answer the question about how to compete in order to achieve
superior performance.

Business model: organizational plan that details the firm’s competitive tactics and initiatives = how
the firm intends to make money.

- Razor-razor-blade business model: give product away or sell for small fee and make money
on replacement parts needed.
- Subscription-based business model: requiring customers to sign up for lengthy service plans.

Network effects: increase in value of a product or service as more people use it.
