5. Model of Environmental Turbulence (ET)
• Models based on 3 factors• Novelty, speed, predictability
• Integrate the 3 factors into ET scale• Show how the new scale can predict
success of strategic behavior
3
5.1 Predictability
• Figure 5.1 Evolution of Knowledge About an Environmental Change
• Shows how changes in the environment contribute to the available knowledge
• Makes operational the concept of partial ignorance
4
5.1 Predictability
• All new technologies develop through the 7 states of Fig. 5.1• Speed of evolution is different
• Fig. 5.2 Time remaining vs. States of knowledge (Speed) • shows time remaining for each state and until full
impact
• Since 1920’s it has become increasingly difficult to recognize change
• Time until impact is shrinking
5
5.1 Predictability
HYPOTHESIS 5.1: DECREASING PREDICTABILITY
6
5.2 Novelty of Change
• Impact of change determines the importance of predictability
Definition: The novelty of a change is a measure of the inapplicability of the ESO’s capability to deal with the change
• Telepresence solutions• R&D departments need time to design, build, and test
(capability)• Sales departments need time to strategize and build sales
force (execution)
Tr = Tc + Te
7
5.2 Novelty of Change
• Fig. 5.3 Response Time vs. Novelty vs. Early Start of Response• The more novel the change the more time is
needed to respond in each state of knowledge
HYPOTHESIS 5.2: INCREASING NOVELTY
Capability of firms to respond to changes has decreased therefore time required to respond has increased
8
5.3 Escalation of Turbulence
• Fig. 5.4 State of Knowledge at Which Response Must Start• Time available to respond has become
shorter• Must make decisions with less available
knowledge• Response sometimes must be started
before “sense of impending change”• Surprise management systems
9
5.3 Escalation of Turbulence
Definition: The level of turbulence in an industry is characterized by the state of knowledge at which ESO’s in the industry must start responses in order to respond effectively to environmental changes
• First half of 20th century• Second and third stages
• Second half of 20th century• First stage
10
5.3 Escalation of Turbulence
• Fig. 5.4 State of Knowledge at Which Response Must Start• Crossover point has continually shifted to the left
• 3 transition points • Gradual (redistribution of power within the firm) or rapid
(invention of transistor)
HYPOTHESIS 5.3: ESCALATION OF TURBULENCE
During the 20th century the level of turbulence has progressively escalated in most industries
11
5.4 Evolution of Organizational Intelligence
• Organizational learning varies within industries• Intelligence of firms also varies
• Not-for-profits prior to 1950’s• Slow learners
• Solutions to discontinuities • Reactive (Extrapolation) • Anticipatory
12
5.4 Evolution of Organizational Intelligence
HYPOTHESIS 5.4 ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING
ESO’s respond to drops in predictability and increase in novelty by developing appropriate response capabilities
HYPOPTHESIS 5.5 EVOLUTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
13
5.5 Scale of Turbulence
• Each industry may have a different level of turbulence• Financial services vs. food services
• Graphic model of turbulence based on the atom• Fig. 5.5 Orbital Analogy of Turbulence
• Strategic budget level, unpredictability of change, novelty of change, frequency of change
14
5.5 Scale of Turbulence
• Fig. 5.6 Scale of Environmental Turbulence in an Industry• 5 turbulence levels• 7 attributes which determine turbulence level
• Strategic budget- % of budget spent on strategic activity• Predictability• Response time- low – high• Novelty- applicability of historical capability • State of knowledge- minimum state of knowledge before
response must begin• Applicable forecasting technology- forecasting methods used
15
5.5 Scale of Turbulence
• Turbulence scales for the commercial environment• Fig. 5.7 Level of entrepreneurial turbulence
• 10 attributes
• Fig. 5.8 Levels of marketing turbulence• 11 attributes
16
5.6 STRATEGIC THRUST
• Strategic thrust or Aggressiveness• The set of characteristics which remain common to its strategic
activity over time• Fig. 5.9 Types of Strategic Thrust
• Entrepreneurial thrust- departure from historical product-market-tech. mix
• Marketing thrust- marketing aggressiveness• Fig. 5.1 Economic Effectiveness as a Function of
Strategic Thrust• Maximum returns are achieved by those whose strategic thrust
is ahead of the average• First mover advantage
• Those farthest away from the leaders are less effective
17
5.6 STRATEGIC THRUST
HYPOTHESIS 5.6: DISTRIBTION OF STRATEGIC THRUSTIn a steady environment the strategic thrust of the largest group of ESO’s will match the turbulence level…but many above and below
HYPOTHESIS 5.7 EFFECTIVENSS OF THRUSTThose slightly ahead of turbulence level are most effective…
ROI te = ROI ee * thrust effectiveness factor * S * R
18
5.7 Effect of the Rules of the Game
• Fig. 5.11 Economic Effectiveness of Business and Non- Profit Industries• Strategic thrust • Stable, Reactive thrust
Not-for-profit • Rules of the Game
• Strong survival pressure, freedom to choose thrust (for-profit)
• Weak survival pressure, less freedom to choose thrust (not-for-profit)
• Inconsistency in the rules of the game• “Limit strategic freedom, but must make a profit”
For-profit Positive ROI
Negative ROI
19
5.7 Effect of the Rules of the Game
HYPOTHESIS 5.8: IMPACT OF RULES OF THE GAMEThe rules of the game imposed on an industry affect the level of economic effectiveness of the ESO within itHYPOTHESIS 5.9 REASONS FOR UNPROFITABILITY1) Market it serves is unprofitable2) Rules of the game make it unprofitable
20
5.7 Effect of the Rules of the Game
HYPOTHESIS 5.1: STRATEGIC TRAP
Positive economic effectiveness in an industry under free market conditions will eventually be unprofitable due to constraints (political/government regulation)
21
6. Strategic Capability6.1 Openness of Behavior
• Organizational Openness • Internal counterpart of strategic thrust• Information perspective, Action perspective
• Each perspective matches the other• Determinants- strategic culture, strategic
capability• Fig 6.1 Levels of Organizational Openness
22
6.2 Model of Strategic Performance Potential
HYPOTHESIS 6.1: OPTIMAL THRUSTThere is a strategic thrust which will produce optimal resultsHYPOTHESIS 6.2: LIMITS ON EFFECTIVNESS OF THRUSTEach strategic thrust has a maximum strategic potentialHYPOTHESIS 6.3: MATCH OF THRUST AND CAPABILITYMatch thrust with capability that will support
23
6.2 Model of Strategic Performance Potential
HYPOTHESIS 6.4 STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL
Determined by five factors:
1) Match ET with thrust 2) match thrust with capability 3) size of strategic budget 4) strength of socio-political constraints on ESO 5) the capacity for effective spending of the strategic budget
24
6.2 Model of Strategic Performance Potential
HYPOTHESIS 6.5: IRRATIONALITY OF ESO BEHAVIOR
Many ESO’s do not choose the optimal thrust, nor support their thrust with optimal capability
