,Week 1 – Competitive strategy
Lecture notes

Strategy
Plan of actions (with a limited time horizon)  how to reach goals (be unique + create value)

Goal
Value creation. What do we need:
- Individual-level: talent leads to value creation
- Firm-level: accumulation of assets leads to value creation

Mostest argument not true
Firm with the most talent and assets will create more value  the accumulation of assets does not necessarily
mean better performance
o The relationship between acquisitions and firm performance is negative
o The relationship between diversification and firm performance is mixed

Performance requires coordination
Strategy really matters for firm performance. Therefore learning about it is important  value creation

The standard model of strategy
1. Objectives  Mission, vision, intentions
2. Strategic analysis
o External (Opportunities + Threats)
o Internal (strengths + Weaknesses)
3. Strategic options and the choice
4. Strategic implementation  initiatives, plans, guidelines

Theory of strategy  when, how and why a plan of action leads to value creation.
A firm with the most value creation outperforms other firms.

Competitive strategy  A strategy at company (business unit) level

Two paradoxes on Competitive strategy:
(A paradox is a statement that seems to contradict itself but may nonetheless be true)

1. Inside-out (strategy as stretch) versus outside-in (strategy as fit) perspective on strategy
Inside-out: strategy analyses should focus on the characteristics of the firm itself –
Outside-in: strategy analysis should focus on the characteristics of the industry

2. Deterministic view versus voluntaristic view on strategy

, Deterministic view says that the environment determined the optimal strategy for a firm Voluntaristic
view says that firms can actively influence the environment through their strategy

Questions you should be able to answer
1. What are the key questions of the theories of strategy and organization
2. What is the resource based view of the firm
3. What does competitive advantage refer to
4. How can resources be assessed
5. How does the 5 forces framework work?




Article 1.1 Porter, M. (1979), How competitive forces shape strategy,
Harvard Business Review, (March-April), pp. 137-145.

Purpose of article
Understanding how the competition works and coping with competition through the five forces by
adjusting to the competition and taking advantage of them.
- Many managers concentrate so much on the fight for market share that they fail to realize that they are
also competing with their customers and suppliers for bargaining power.
- Meanwhile, they also neglect to keep an eye out on new entrants and the threat of substitute products.
- The key to growth is to stake out a position that is less vulnerable
o To attack from opponents and
o To erosion from the direction of buyers and suppliers.

Porter’s reasoning for firms outperforming others:
Favorable positioning in attractive industries, supported by generic (rather than unique) strategies
Three generic strategies
1. Cost leadership
2. Differentiation
3. Focus

Porter’s five forces framework
Positioning school theory
The degree of competitiveness in an industry is
decided by the five competitive forces
o Threat of new entrants, Threat of substitute products, Power of suppliers, Power of buyers and Rivalry
among existing firms
o Each competes with each other and maximizes its own profitability.
The collective strength of these forces determines the ultimate profit potential of an industry: the weaker the
forces collectively, the greater opportunity for better performance.

Positioning theory  SCP Paradigm
Structure: Profit potential varies per industry
Conduct: Actions taken to realize industry-specific profit potential
Performance: Variance in S&C = variance in firm performance

Positioning theory: Summary
- It has an external focus on Opportunities and Threats
- It uses FIT as strategy: The optimal fit between a firm and its environment and competitive positions in
attractive industries.
- Superior performance is realized by taking on less vulnerable positions
