10. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix
• Globe Telecom’s Fixed Line division falls under the
Question Mark quadrant. Therefore, Globe maintains
a relatively low market share position in a high
growth sector of the fixed line business. They can
either pursue market penetration, market
development or product development to improve
their fixed line division and attain high market share
position, or just sell this division and focus more on
their strengths.

quadrant. This means that Globe Telecom has a

15. Strategy-Evaluation Report
• Business strategies are driven by Four factors: The
Customers, Operations/Processes, Community/Social
Responsibility, and Financial. Key strategies that they
have implemented, and reason for their existing reign
as the leading telecommunication provider, are
investments on improving the quality of their key
growth areas by improving the speed, capacity and
reliability of their core network, improve their customer
satisfaction by minimizing corporate hierarchy, increase
management visibility and putting clear procedures in

policy is for their internal environment and their
employee’s safety and interest, Related Party
Transactions Policy is for their stakeholders and
other parties involved in their operations and
products.
17. Focus Location for Globe
• Due to the threat the government once imposed on the
competing telecommunication companies, it would be
advisable to focus on expanding the reach of their networks
in geographic areas in the Philippines where there are no
means or signals for any communication or areas where
they have spotty or lousy signals. As part of their vision in
steering the Philippines to be a digital nation, they need to
establish more cell sites and strengthen capabilities of the
country’s mobile and wireless networks through different
technological and digital advancements in the Philippines
before they expand the reach of their services to other
countries.

Their total weighted grades only vary by 0.1 with Globe garnering a total weighted score of 3.0 and PLDT with a total weighted score of 2.9. Both companies serve as each other’s tenacious rival in the telecommunications industry in the Philippines as they both perform excellently in the industry.
Reading through various pieces and articles regarding Globe Telecom’s recent strategic positions, it can be said that the company is doing their best to improve in all the aspects covered by the company with the strategy that they are pursued and implemented.
They placed Mister Gil B. Genio, former Chief Operating Officer (COO) and still Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), as the company’s Chief Technology and Information Officer (CTIO) that allows Globe Telecom to respond to dynamic business and market demands. It puts him in charge of an integrated and well-structured networked and technology organization that allows Globe to respond to dynamic business and market demands.
Alberto de Larrazabal, who was Globe’s Chief Finance Officer (CFO), is also assigned as new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to ensure effective implementation and execution of strategies across all commercial units of Globe Telecom. Therefore, all core business segments will be consolidated under the CCO to ensure effectiveness in strategy implementation. As for strategy, it is good that Globe has formed a unifying chief officer for the execution of the company’s strategies across the whole organization for a better implementation and guaranteed success.
The strategists are the managers of an organization and having been defined what positions are needed to deal with the dynamic demands of the market, it will be easier for Globe Telecom to deal with it and form strategies as the strategists of the company. The only strategy that we can suggest to Globe is to offer more economic bundles or promos so that more and more customers will come.
Strategic Positioning and Action Evaluation (SPACE) Matrix for Globe is formed with the average scores of the company’s Internal Strategic Position namely the Financial Position (FP) and Competitive Position (CP), and the company’s External Strategic Position composed of Stability Position (SP) and Industry Position (IP) and these factors being +5.2, -4.6, -4.75, and +5.75 respectively
Globe Telecom falls on the quadrant Aggressive. This would mean that their strategy can capitalize on their internal capabilities in dealing with their weaknesses, avoiding threats that may hinder success and take advantage of the opportunities that come in the way of Globe Telecom being one of the top companies in the telecommunication industry in the country.
Some of the best applicable strategies that the company can implement would be Market Development, Product Development, Integration and Diversification.
Globe is divided into two divisions namely their Fixed Line division and their Wireless division. Based on the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix for Globe, the company’s Fixed Line division falls under the quadrant Question Mark. This means that Globe is highly in need of cash but experiences poor cash generation in this division. Therefore, the company keeps a market share position that is relatively low in a high-growth sector of the industry such as the Fixed Line business. The company has the choice of improving their fixed line division by pursuing market penetration, market development or product development, or they sell this division so they can focus more on their strengths. Regardless of the Fixed Line Division, Globe’s Wireless Division excels as it lands itself in the quadrant Star which means a relatively high market share position in this high-growth sector of the Telecommunications industry. To protect this competitive advantage, it is most advisable to invest in market development and product development.
Based on the QSPM above, the prevailing strategy that Globe Telecom should implement is to pursue product development, in which the company can capitalize on the aforementioned strengths and address their weaknesses, and also take advantage of the opportunities that they face and dodge the threats given above, with a given total attractiveness score of 4.7. It got the highest score among the three options of strategies to be implemented by Globe. Integration and diversification got a score of 3.5, while Market development is falling behind with a score of 3.15.
Globe Telecom’s organizational chart incorporates Strategic Business Unit (SBU) Structure. It is displayed that different strategic units that are equally vital to the company’s business are identified and headed by the biggest persons in the company. All eight chief officers together with the Executive Vice President, Senior Advisor, Chief technical Advisor and General Counsel, are under the President and CEO of the company, Mr. Ernest L. Cu. We admire that the Executive Vice President, Mr. Bernard P. Llamzon, is also in charge of Consumer Sales, so that his management and marketing skills are not idle while he is the EVP. If the group was to alter the organizational chart, we would recommend that the Chief Audit Officer and Chief Finance Officer be under a single department but maintain different tasks.
Based on the Product- Positioning Map, Globe is better than PLDT in terms of the quality of customer service while PLDT outshines Globe Telecom in delivering high quality telecommunications services. Although Globe has a larger subscriber base in SMS department, PLDT’s internet services are said to be better than that of Globe’s.
