Definition of Strategy
Strategy: A firm’s theory about how to gaincompetitive advantages
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Herb Kelleher, a founder and CEO of Southwest Airlines, seems to have had a different theory about how to gain competitive advantage.
His theory was that people would be willing to fly instead of driving, taking a bus, or taking a train if the price could be made affordable. He also theorized that a certain part of the market would prefer to pay a lower price and fly without some of the usual benefits of air travel, like meals and reserved seats.
Both of these theories, and many others, can lead to competitive advantage depending on circumstances, strategic insight, and strategic implementation.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Definition of Strategy
Theories are based on a set of
assumptions and hypotheses about
the way competition in an industry is
likely to evolve (develop) and how that
evolution can be exploited to earn a
profit.

Definition of Strategy
Theories are based on a set of assumptions and hypotheses about the way competition in an industry is likely to evolve (develop) and how that evolution can be exploited to earn a profit.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Definition of Strategy
The greater the extent to which these assumptions and hypotheses accurately reflect how competition in this industry actually evolves, the more likely it is that a firm will gain a competitive advantage from implementing its strategies.
If these assumptions and hypotheses turn out not to be accurate, then a firm’s strategies are not likely to be a source of competitive advantage.

Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
A good analysis of the external environment may allow a firm to face threats and opportunities.
For example, a firm thinking entry into a new business may discover a significant threat through its external analysis before actually entering the new business.
Such a discovery would allow the firm to either abandon the idea or adopt a strategy that would neutralize that particular threat
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
A condition may present opportunity to one type of firm and a threat to another type of firm.
For example, a falling unemployment rate (economic climate) presents opportunity to a manufacturer of home appliances and a threat to fast food restaurants. Falling unemployment means disposable incomes are likely to rise, allowing people to spend on larger ticket items like washing machines.
Falling unemployment also means that workers have more and better options for employment, meaning that low paying fast food restaurant jobs will be more difficult to fill.

TWO LEVELS OF EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT External analysis consists of looking at two ‘levels’ of environment: •the general environment and •the industry environment.
The general environment is the environment in which all firms in an economy operate, regardless of a firm’s specific industry.
Elements of the general environment have a potential effect on every firm in an economy.

Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Model of Environmental Threats
Threat from New Competition
• If firms can easily enter the industry, any above normal profits will be bit away quickly.
• Barriers to entry …….lower the threat of entry.
• Barriers to entry make an industry more attractive.
• This is true whether the focal firm is already in the industry or thinking about entering.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Model of Environmental Threats contd.
Threat of New Competition
Barriers to Entry:
• Economies of scale—firm that can’t produce the minimum efficient scale will be at a disadvantage.
• Product differentiation—entrants are forced to overcome customer loyalties to existing products.
• Cost advantages
• Government policies—governments may imposetrade restrictions and/or grant monopolies.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Model of Industry Competition
Threat from Existing Competitors
• Attributes of an Industry That Increase the Threat of Direct Competition:
• large numbers of competitors• slow or declining growth• high fixed costs and/or high storage costs• low product differentiation
• industry capacity added in large increments
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Model of Industry Competition
Threat of Substitute Products
• Substitutes fill the same need but in a different way.
- Coke and Pepsi are rivals, milk is asubstitute for both.
• Substitutes create a price maximum because consumersswitch to the substitute if prices rise.
• Substitutes will likely come from outside theindustry—be sure to look.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Model of Industry Competition
Threat of Supplier Leverage
• Powerful suppliers can “squeeze” (lower profits)the focal firm.
Industry conditions that facilitate supplier power:
• small number of firms in supplier’s industry
• highly differentiated product
• lack of close substitutes for suppliers’ products
• supplier could integrate forward
• focal firm is an insignificant customer of supplier
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Model of Industry Competition
Threat from Buyers Influence• Powerful buyers can “squeeze” (lower profits)
the focal firm by demanding lower prices and/orhigher levels of quality and service.
Industry conditions that facilitate buyer power:
• small number of buyers for focal firm’s output
• lack of a differentiated product
• the product is significant to the buyer
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Model of Industry Competition
Threat from Buyers Influence
Indicators of the threat of buyers influence:
• Buyers operate in a competitive market—they arenot earning above normal profits.
• Buyers can vertically integrate backward.
• Many small buyers can be united around an issueto act as a block.

Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Complementors As Another Force
Complementors Increase the Value of the Focal Firms Product
• Customers perceive more value in the focal firm’sproduct when it is combined with the complementor’s product.
if your customers value your product more when they have this other firm’s product than when they have your product alone.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Ex:the value of cable television companies depends partly on the existence of television production firms.
Because the value of program-producing companies is greater when cable television firms exist and because the value of cable television companies (channels) is greater when program-producing companies exist, these types of firms are complements.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
Responding to Environmental Threats
Neutralizing Threats
• Most firms cannot individually change the threats in an industry.
• By altering relationships in an industry, firms may reduce threats and/or create opportunities, thereby increasing profits.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
firms can respond by 1) avoiding the industry (choosing not to enter or choosing to exit), or, 2) making strategic choices that may neutralize the threats.
In a sense, many of the possible strategic choices consist of basically turning a threat into an opportunity. These choices are treated in more detail in later chapters.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
A regional bakery (Bakery X) faces intense rivalry from two other bakeries that constantly compete for business with fast food restaurants and small, independent grocery stores. These bakeries do most of their business through brokers who ask for bids on behalf of restaurants and grocers. After a period of particularly intense price competition, Bakery X decides it is time to try to manage the rivalry.
Chapter 2 Strategic ManagementChapter 2 Strategic Management
When the largest broker approaches Bakery X with a request for bid from a restaurant chain to supply hamburger buns in a neighboring city in which one of the rival bakeries is located, Bakery X provides the broker with a bid. However, the bid is higher than recent history suggests and includes a written statement. The statement explains that Bakery X plans to focus on servicing restaurants and stores in certain selected cities and that it will be forced to charge higher prices in other cities. Bakery X does this knowing that the broker will communicate this odd behavior to the other bakeries. The other bakeries recognize the signal and begin to respond. Price wars are avoided and average profits rise for all three bakeries.

• Identifying environmental threats is only half the task in accomplishing an external analysis.
• Such an analysis must also identify opportunities.
