Download or read book Commitment written by Pankaj Ghemawat and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1991-08-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To create a competitive advantage, a company must commit itself to developing a set of capabilities superior to its competitors; But such commitments tend to be costly and hard to reverse. How then, should a company decide which broad path, or strategy, to commit itself to? And how are competition and uncertainty to be accounted for in that decision? In this brilliant reassessment of how companies gain and sustain competitive advantage, Pankaj Ghemawat consolidates contemporary research in economics and other disciplines into a comprehensive yet practical framework for comparing commitments to strategically distinct options. This framework will help managers address specific strategic choices such as entry, exit, vertical/horizontal integration, capacity expansion, and innovation, as well as choices of generic strategy. Step by systematic step, Ghemawat provides managers with the tools and techniques they need to improve the quality of the choices that they make. Specifically, Ghemawat discusses: * how to identify the choices that are truly strategic -- that involve commitment -- before rather than after the fact * how to analyze the short-run and long-run competitive positions implied by a particular strategic option * how to assess the sustainability of superior competitive positions over time * how to account for the flexibility afforded by a particular option in dealing with future uncertainties * how to deal with both honest mistakes and deliberate distortions in the process of choice This pathbreaking book will help managers invest in the future. Its logic applies to choices involving disinvestment as well as those involving investment -- and to choices that embody elements of both. Its logic can be used for diagnostic purposes, such as the valuation of business, and most broadly, it win force managers to think about important issues that they may have tended to ignore. Ghemawat's discussion of these important ideas is concise, studded with detailed examples, based on rigorous research and, above all, practical. It will become required reading for thoughtful practitioners as well as practitionersto-be in the 1990s.

Download or read book Dynamic Strategic Action Planning in Today s Fast Paced Environment written by Annette Brown and published by AudioInk. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Effective Strategic Plans take action. They are used regularly, reviewed regularly, change regularly; they are dynamic and fluid by design and intent. Regularly corresponds both to your business cycle as well as the cycle of goal and goalette completion. Examples of businesses and their logical cycles follow: a non-profit building homes in impoverished areas might be reviewed on a project basis, while a start-up business might be reviewed on a weekly basis. Critical to the success of any Strategic Plan is the ability of all people at all levels in the organization to know what their part or role is, in order to give them the ability to contribute to the organization with their full potential. Each person in the organization must perceive their role to be crucial to the achievement of the goals. Each action must lead toward achievement of the goals. Each person finds a match between what their roles are, how they contribute, and what they are being required to do, act upon, and achieve. Assessment criteria must lead directly back to goal achievement. There are 5 major questions to ask in creating a living, Dynamic Strategic Action Plan that can be implemented at all levels in your organization. 1) What is your PURPOSE? (Major Goals or Mission) 2) What will you do to achieve that PURPOSE? (Minor Goals or Goalettes) 3) What resources do you need to achieve your PURPOSE? (Assignment of Resources) 4) How will you know when you've achieved that PURPOSE? (Assessment Criteria) 5) How much has been accomplished thus far in achieving your PURPOSE? (Status) These five questions will be asked over and over in the Dynamic Strategic Action Planning process. You will set up cycles of review for each Goal and Goalette, with Action Plans that lead to results. The key to this Dynamic Strategic Action Planning process is simple: What you focus on gets done - Focus on your Goals and Goalettes. What you give attention to gets done - Review your progress regularly. What you measure gets done - Set realistic criteria for achievement and assess your results.

Download or read book The Dynamics of M A Strategy written by Björn B. Schmidt and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's banking sector has witnessed significant inbound M&A traffic by developed market banks in recent years. At the same time, Chinese banks have risen to become some of the world's biggest banks. Along with these massive market values and financing capabilities have come global ambitions culminating in first outbound M&A moves. This study exploratively researches the relationship between developed market banks' inbound M&A into China and Chinese banks' outbound M&A. Based on a conceptual discussion, case studies and expert interviews an explanation model is developed outlining the drivers and barriers of Chinese banks' outbound M&A and the factors in the inbound-outbound relationship. This model enables developed market banks to analyse potential M&A reactions by incumbents. Finally, dynamic M&A market entry strategies are derived, which explicitly account for future incumbent outbound M&A moves.

Download or read book Strategic Tools in Dynamic Environments written by Cornelius Herzog and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,2, European Business School - International University Schlo Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel, language: English, abstract: "The reason why firms succeed or fail is perhaps the central question in strategy" stated Porter. While traditional strategy approaches can soundly answer this central question in stable environments, these approaches are not directly applicable to dynamic environments and there is currently no final and complete answer that determines the causes for a company's failure or success with their strategies in dynamic environments. Nevertheless, there are many examples of companies that outperform their competitors even in dynamic environments, such as Microsoft and Intel, and there are many examples of companies that have not been successful at all, such as Siemens and BenQ with their mobile phone division. One critical point of each strategy is the strategic management process during which the strategy is developed and implemented and during which strategic tools such as the famous SWOT analysis or Porter's five forces are used, for example, to structure or collect data. The purpose of this paper is to explore if strategic tools developed in stable environments are still suitable in dynamic environments or if there are certain constraints. Therefore, the paper builds on existing literature to develop a thorough understanding of dynamic environments and successful patterns of strategy in dynamic environments, and based on this understanding, an analysis framework is developed to analyze several strategic tools. The new finding is that the use of strategic tools is still desirable in dynamic environments, but that there are limitations that must be considered to obtain useful results when using tools. This finding is used to develop a categorization of strategic tools and to propose a new framework for the use of strategic tools

Download or read book Dynamic Strategic Resources written by Michael A. Hitt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1999-11-15 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s it has been recognized that a firm's resources, capabilities and competencies help it gain a competitive advantage, that in turn produces higher performance. This resource-based view of the firm has been an important development in the field of strategic management. It explains why some organizations perform better than others and shows that leveraging, both tangible and intangible, resources is necessary to gain a sustainable competitive advantage. Bringing together contributions from multiple perspectives this book examines the management of strategic resources. First, the book discusses resource strategy and firm performance - how resources lead to competitive advantage and how firm resources interplay with the firm strategy to produce specific outcomes. Second, it addresses the development, commitment and governance of firm resources - how firms develop critical resources, including the especially difficult development of intangible resources such as tacit knowledge, internal networks and the creation of new intellectual capital. Finally, attention is focused on the problems involved in the transfer of resources and skills in cooperative strategies such as strategic alliances, and the allocation of resources to produce innovation. The resource-based view of the firm is a valuable way of analyzing and understanding firm strategies and performance. The contributions in this book provide an important in-depth view of how strategic resources can be developed and leveraged to create value in organizations.
