4. Consider Tony Chocolonely:
- 2003: Journalist Teun van de Keuken reads about the poor working conditions
on cacao farms in West-Africa. He decides to turn himself in as a “chocolate
criminal” for the consumption of chocolate.
- 2005: First chocolate bars produced.
- 2006: Teun establishes Tony Chocolonely officially.
- 2007: Mission not only fairtrade, but free of slave labour.

Can we fruitfully use the lessons learned from the Design School to analyze
strategy formation at Tony Chocolonely?
A Yes, the environment of Tony Chocolonely is relatively stable.
B Yes the founder seems to be the primary strategist of the organization.
,C Yes, the idea and course of action seem to have been formulated before the conception of
the organization.
D Yes, all of the above.
E No, the design school is only applicable for older organizations.
5. Tony Chocolonely is often in the news. A couple of years ago, because of their
lobby for a law making organizations responsible for child labor and the use of
slaves somewhere in their supply chain. How would design school thinkers explain
this lobbying behavior?
A By influencing legislation, Tony Chocolonely creates a fair market.
B By influencing legislation, Tony Chocolonely tries to carve out a first-mover advantage as
they are already adhering to the proposed law.
C By influencing legislation, Tony Chocolonely is capitalizing on its strengths.
D They can’t explain this as design school thinkers do not consider that organizations
interact with the environment.
6. Tony Chocolonely entered the market, motivated by a mission and vision to make
chocolate honest. The design school proposes that although each organization
should have a unique strategy, there is also universality of strategy. Tony
Chocolonely may have a diversified product, it’s not very different in taste from
other (premium) chocolate producers. It is more expensive to produce. The
company is distinguishing itself with creative and bold marketing campaigns.
Imagine that you were Teun van de Keuken at the start of Tony Chocolonely.
What would be the result of the gathering of information before your strategy
formulation? My strategy formation would be:
A Don’t start Tony Chocolonely, the threats would outweigh the opportunities and there are
more weaknesses than strengths.
B Start Tony Chocolonely, one strength is enough.
C Don’t start Tony Chocolonely, the market is saturated.
D Start Tony Chocolonely, I’m economic (wo)man and I can perfectly predict the future.
E It seems that the design school can’t explain everything and I want to use a different
perspective; analyze different perspectives to come to a strategy.

and planning schools?

necessarily do form.
B both always pivot around strategic outcomes that should be unique.
C strategies develop top down in the organization at all times.
D strategy formation is seen as a controlled, conscious process that leads to full-blown
deliberate strategies; with the design school it had to be explicit, but not full-blown.
