Last class: What is Strategy?

• Defining what strategy is (not)
• General vocabulary of strategy
• Limitations course: mostly analysis/science
– Less insight & craft
• Although you can make up for that by reading cases, FT...

Part I: The Strategic Position

Johnson, Whittington and Scholes, Exploring Strategy,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021504/5a85ec5c7f8b9a87368d2976/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Focus of part I:
The strategic position
• How to analyse an organisation’s position in the external
environment
• How to analyse the determinants of strategic capability –
resources, competences and the linkages between them
• How to understand an organisation’s purposes, taking
into account corporate governance, stakeholder
expectations and business ethics
• How to address the role of history and culture in
determining an organisation’s position

Learning outcomes (1)
• Analyse the broad macro-environment of organisations in
terms of political, economic, social, technological,
environmental (‘green’) and legal factors (PESTEL)
• Identify key drivers in this macro-environment and use
these key drivers to construct alternative scenarios with
regard to environmental change.

Learning outcomes (2)
• Use Porter’s five forces analysis in order to define the
attractiveness of industries and to identify their potential for
change
• Importance market segments & strategic customer

The PESTEL framework
The PESTEL framework categorises macro-environmental influences into six main types:
political, economic,
social, technological,
environmental legal
Thus PESTEL provides a comprehensive list of influences on the possible success or failure of particular strategies.

• Rise in travel by elderly
• Student international study exchange
Technological
• Fuel-efficient engines

Political
• Political pressures against drinking & driving / binge drinking
Economic
• Rise of the Asian economies
• Energy prices soaring
Social
• Maturing tastes N-Europe / rising consumption S-Europe/Asia
• Awareness of alcohol on fitness
Technological
• Innovations around products such as ice-cold lager
Environmental
• Packaging issues
Legal
• Changes in licensing laws & permitted alcohol limits for driving

Using the PESTEL framework
• Apply selectively • Avoid death by information overload
• identify key factors which impact on the industry, market and organisation in question
• factors that may challenge status quo in the next few years
• In brewing industry?
– Shifting geography of taste
• rise of Asian economies and southern Europe (under Ec & S)
– Responsibility for product side-effects in home markets (West)
• Increasing hostility to side-effects of drinking in West (under P and L)

Goal of scenario analysis is…
1) Predict future scenarios
2) Debate plausible scenarios
3) Forecast scenarios
• Consider plausible alternative futures – do not to attempt to predict the unpredictable
• Value = Organizational learning & debate – Limit key drivers!
– Give memorable titles
– No prediction, forecast or relative probabilities

• How many scenarios? – Avoid 3 scenarios: increases risk-aversion
• Managers will go for the middling scenario
• Two or four scenarios – avoid an easy mid-point
• Strategies for each scenario – Influence & monitor environment to deal with
• Threats & opportunities

1 Threat of Entry
• Height entry barriers
– Economies of scale and experience
• Automobiles, advertising FMCG, pharma
– But Internet banking (only 10,000 customers to be viable)
– Expected retaliation
• Price war or marketing blitz; global retaliation
– Access to supply or distribution channels
• Problem for new entrants in industries with retail component
– Yet, bypassed by Dell and Amazon
– Legislation or government action
• From patent protection to tariffs
– (De)regulation!

1 Threat of Entry
• Height entry barriers
– Differentiation
• Importance brands
• Soft drinks versus steel

2 Threat of substitutes • Substitutes are?
– Products/services that offer similar benefit to an industry’s products or services, but by a different process coming out of different industry
• Price/performance ratio
• Alumnium vs steel in automobile manufacturing applications
• Videoconferencing vs travel
• Extra-industry influences
– Always take into account!
• Demand wired telephone lines in emerging economies
– Capped due to?
• choice for wireless mobilies

3 Power of Buyers • Buyers are?
– The organization’s immediate customers, not necessarily the ultimate consumers
• Power of buyers
– Concentrated buyers
• Few grocery retailers = bulk of milk market demand
– Low switching costs
• Low for weakly differentiated commodities
– Steel, airlines, hotels
– Buyer competition threat
• Buyer own supply or retail facilities?
– Threat of backward or forward vertical integration
• E.g some steel companies own iron ore sources themselves

4 Power of Suppliers • Power of suppliers
– Concentrated suppliers
• Iron ore industry: 3 main producers
– Most steel companies still weak bargaining power
– High switching cost
• Microsoft’s operating system / office software
– Buyers prepared to pay premium to avoid hassle
– Supplier competition threat
• Foward vertical integration: e.g. on-line booking
– Low-cost airlines cut out travel agencies

5 Competitive rivalry
• Among existing industry competitors
– Competitor balance
• Numerous or roughly equal in size & power?
• One or two very dominant = less intense rivalry
– Industry growth
• Slow often means fierce rivalry
– Fixed costs
• High often means fierce rivalry
– Need larger volume to lower unit costs (overcapacity!)
– Exit barriers
• High tends to increase rivalry (esp declining ind)
– Differentiation
• Low increases rivalry

Industry structure: profitability & growth
• Choice of industry has important consequences
– Soft-drinks, pharmaceutical: 5 star industry
• Five forces are relatively weak
– Airlines, hotels: 0 star industry
• Five forces are relatively strong

Airline industry: profitability? (US figures)
36
Annual Loss and Earnings
1990 $ 3.9 billion loss
1991 $ 1.9 billion loss
1992 $ 4.8 billion loss
1993 $ 2.1 billion loss
1994 $ 0.3 billion loss
1995 $ 2.3 billion profit
1996 $ 2.8 billion profit
1997 $ 5.2 billion profit
1998 $ 4.9 billion profit
1999 $ 5.4 billion profit
2000 $ 2.5 billion profit
2001 $ 8.3 billion loss
2002 $ 11.0 billion loss
2003 $ 2.4 billion loss
2004 $ 7.6 billion loss
2005 $ 5.7 billion loss
US airlines (but also EU!) - Never a sustained return on
investment!
- Long periods of loss-making
- Spurts of mediocre profitability

Airlines industry: 5 forces
1. Threat of entry? – Low barriers of entry make for a constant stream of new entrants
• You can rent a plane, lease a gate, it’s all generic technologies
• No high capital requirements for planes: high resale value!
• Can start with one flight, very sexy industry
• Overall threat?

– Diversification
• Anheuser Busch manufactures aluminium cans
• Overall rivalry?
– strong
