What is Business Strategy?

organization through its configuration of resources within a challenging environment in order to meet the
needs of markets and to fulfill stakeholders’ expectations”
(Johnson and Scholes, 2010)

Strategy deals with:– Direction: where are we going in the long-term?– Scope: which markets do we want to compete in, which
customers do we want to serve, what activities do we want to be involved in?
– Advantage: how can we out-perform competition in those markets?
– Resources: which resources (people, financing, knowledge, skills, facilities) do we need to be competitive? – SW of SWOT
– Environment: which external environmental factors and trends will affect our ability to compete? – OT of SWOT
– Stakeholders : what are their values and expectations and how are we going to manage them.

the company.
• Too much individual decision making companies have asked business schools, to focus more on team leadership.

• Lack of government oversight / regulation and cooperation with competitors.

Corporate governanceConcept
• A set of processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions affecting the way a company is directed, administered or controlled.
• Concerned with:– Stakeholder relationships– The goals for which the corporation is governed.– Accountability of individuals in an organization through
mechanisms that try to reduce or eliminate the principal-agent problem (later slide)
– Historically, economic efficiency, with a strong emphasis on shareholders' welfare.
• Renewed interest since 2001 in aftermath of high-profile collapses like Enron and MCI Inc. (formerly WorldCom).

Governance"Traditional approach"
• CEO, board of directors, managers, shareholders, and other stakeholders
• In corporations, the shareholder (principal) delegates decision rights to the manager (agent) to act in the principal's best interests.
• Separation of ownership from control implies a loss of effective control by shareholders
• Governance controls should help align the incentives of managers and shareholders
