Strategic Management lecture summary by David Schouten (​​)
1

,Lecture 1​ ​26 October 2020
!!! This lecture is relatively short because a large part was spent discussing course planning
and practicalities, which I did not include in the summary.

Strategy comes from strategos (Greek), which means “the general’s view”. The book defines
it as “an integrated and coordinated set of commitments and actions designed to exploit (and
develop) core competencies and gain a competitive advantage”.
Some key definitions used throughout the course:
Competitive advantage A firm has a competitive advantage when it implements a
strategy competitors are ​unable to duplicate or find too
costly to try to imitate it​.

Above average returns … are returns ​in excess of what an investor expects​ to earn
from other investments with a similar amount of risk.

Operational effectiveness … means ​performing these activities better​ -- that is, faster,
or with fewer inputs and defects -- than rivals.

Strategic positioning attempts to achieve sustainable competitive advantage by
preserving what is distinctive​ about a company.
… (by) performing ​different​ activities from rivals, or
performing ​similar​ activities in different ways.


Two models underly the strategic perspective of the course:
● The​ I/O model​ is used to analyze the external environment of an organisation. It
assumes resources are mobile, organisations make rational decisions, and firm
strategies are similar in nature. Uses Porter’s five forces (discussed this lecture).
● The ​resource-based view​ is the opposite. It believes that internal characteristics of
an organisation (e.g. the team) is a more important determinant of a firm’s success.
Uses VRIN Model (discussed in ​Lecture 2​)

General environment analysis​ is used to analyse the environment of a firm that is not
under the control of managers. A strategy can not directly influence this. It is basically the
same as a PESTEL analysis. Factors included in this analysis are Political/legal, Economic,
Socio-cultural, Technological, Demographic, Global, and Environmental.

An industry is a group of firms that are active with the same/similar products on the same
market. An industry’s structure has big effects on profitability.
After determining the industry boundaries we assess the industry characteristics using
Porter’s five forces​1​:
1. Rivalry Among Competitors
high if:
i. large number of competitors
ii. low switching costs
iii. slow ratio of industry growth
iv. high exit barriers

, 2. Threat of New Entrants
determined by:
i. time and cost of entry
ii. economies of scale
iii. technology protection
iv. high switching costs
3. Bargaining Power of Buyers
high if:
i. concentration of buyers
ii. low product
differentiation
iii. low switching costs
iv. backward integration
4. Threat of Substitute Products or
Services
high if:
i. better price/quality ratio
ii. low switching costs
5. Bargaining Power of Suppliers
high if:
i. concentration of suppliers
ii. importance of input
iii. high switching costs
iv. forward integration

If all forces are LOW, the industry ​is​ attractive. If all forces are HIGH, the industry is ​not
attractive. In the latter case, the organisation should improve their position or leave the
industry.
