, Lecture week 1: Competitive strategy
What is strategy about?
- How to develop new products?
- How to outperform competitors?
- Which markets to enter?
- How to realize organizational change?
- How to create synergies?
- Who to cooperate with?
- How to deal with environmental changes?

What is strategy.
Strategy is not a goal. It is the plan to reach a goal.
What is your advantage at the end of the day?

- It is a plan of actions
- Usually with limited time horizon.
- A plan about how firms reach their goals (be unique and create value).

How do firms achieve their goals?
- When your goal is to create value, what do we need to create value?
à On individual level we need talent (rather than strategy) to create value.
à On firm level we need assets (rather than strategy)

Motest argument: Firms with the most (talents/assets) will create more value than its
competitors.

Relationship between acquisitions and firm performance?
à The relationship between acquisitions and firm performance is negative. E.g. when a
company buys another one, a lot of new talent comes to the pool which might have a
negative effect.

Relationship between diversification and firm performance?
à The relationship between diversification and firm performance is mixed.

This concludes that performance does not emerge naturally. It requires some sort of
coordination.

Do we need strategy?
- Reduce uncertainty.
- Asymmetric information.
- Structure and organization (planning).
- How to reach a goal.

Conclusion
Unexplained variance and negative relationships at different levels implies
