Editor's Notes

  1. The role that the environment plays has influenced managers in developing a systematic means of analyzing the environment, assessing their organization’s strengths and weaknesses, identifying opportunities that would give the organization a competitive advantage, and incorporating these findings into their planning. The value of thinking strategically has an important impact on organization performance. 1. Strategic management is that set of managerial decisions and actions that determines the long-run performance of an organization. 2. It entails all of the basic management functions—planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
  2. The strategic management process is a six-step process that encompasses strategic planning, implementation, and evaluation (see Exhibit 7.1).
  3. Step 1: Identifying the Organization’s Current Mission, Objectives, and Strategies. 1. Every organization needs a mission, which defines the purpose of the organization. What is the organization’s reason for being in business? Exhibit 7.2 describes some common components found in organizational mission statements. 2.It’s also important to identify the organization’s current objectives and strategies. Step 2: External Analysis. 1.Managers in every organization need to do an external analysis. Factors such as competition, pending legislation, and labour supply could have an impact. 2.After analyzing the environment, managers need to assess what they have learned in terms of opportunities and threats. Opportunities are positive trends in external environmental factors; threats are negative trends. 3.The same environment can present opportunities to one organization and pose threats to another in the same industry because of different resources and capabilities.
  4. Step 3: Internal Analysis. 1.Should lead to a clear assessment of the organization’s resources and capabilities. 2.Any activities the organization does well or any unique resources that it has are called strengths. 3.Weaknesses are activities the organization does not do well or resources it needs but does not possess. If any of the organizational capabilities or resources are exceptional or unique, they’re called the organization’s core competencies. 4. Organizational culture is important in internal analysis. It can promote or hinder an organization’s strategic actions. 5. Combined external and internal analyses are called SWOT analysis because it’s an analysis of the organizations’ strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
  5. Step 4: Formulating Strategies. 1. After the SWOT, managers develop and evaluate strategic alternatives and select strategies that are appropriate. 2. Strategies need to be established for corporate, business, and functional levels.
  6. 1. One reason strategic management is important is because it can make a difference in how well an organization performs. 2. Another reason has to do with the fact that organizations of all types and sizes face continually changing situations. 3. Strategic management is also important because of the nature of organizations. They are composed of diverse divisions, units, functions, and work activities that need to be coordinated. 4. Strategic management is also important because it’s involved in many of the decisions that managers make.
  7. A stability strategy is characterized by an absence of significant change.
  8. Corporate Portfolio Analysis. Used when an organization’s corporate strategy involves a number of businesses. BCG Matrix helps to identify which businesses offer high potential and which are a drain on organizational resources.
  9. The first portfolio matrix—the BCG matrix—developed by the Boston Consulting Group, introduced the idea that an organization’s businesses could be evaluated and plotted using a 2 x 2 matrix (see Exhibit 7.5) to identify which ones offered high potential and which were a drain on organizational resources. The horizontal axis represents market share, which was evaluated as either low or high; and the vertical axis indicates anticipated market growth, which also was evaluated as either low or high. Based on its evaluation, businesses can be placed in one of four categories.
  10. A business-level strategy seeks to determine how an organization should compete in each of its businesses. For organizations in multiple businesses, each division will have its own strategy that defines the products or services it will offer, the customers it wants to reach, and the like. When an organization is in several different businesses, these single businesses that are independent and formulate their own strategies are often called strategic business units (SBUs).
  11. Competitive strategies developed out of the work of Michael Porter. His framework suggests that managers can choose from among three generic strategies. Porter’s major contribution has been to carefully outline how managers can create and sustain a competitive strategy in order to earn above-average profitability. a.Industry analysis is an important step in Porter’s framework. He says there are five competitive forces at work in an industry (see Exhibit 7.6). 1) Threat of new entrants is determined by barriers to entry, which are factors that determine how easy or hard it is for new competitors to enter an industry. 2) Threat of substitutes is a factor that determines whether or not customers will switch their business to a competitor. 3) Bargaining power of buyers is a factor that determines the amount of influence that buyers have in an industry.
