Single and Multiple-Business Organizations

• A single business organization is primarily in one industry

– Coca-Cola is considered a single business organization

– It competes in the beverage industry

• A multiple business organization is in more than one industry

– PepsiCo, also in the beverage business, competes in other industries

6-5

Single and Multiple-Business Organizations – cont’d

• The distinction between single and multiple business organizations is important

– It influences an organization’s overall strategic direction

– It determines what corporate strategy is used

• Keeping an organization as is

– Involves an effort at stability

• Reversing a decline

– When an organization falls behind, it is an effort at renewal

Learning Outcome 6.2

Discuss Organizational Growth Strategies

• Growth is appealing and serves to attract new customers and gain new resources

• A growth strategy is one that expands products offered or markets served or expands its activities or operations through current or new businesses

– Growth helps achieve goals through increasing revenues, profits, or other measures

6-12

Possible Growth Strategies

• Concentration

– When an organization focuses on its primary line of business and looks for ways to meet its growth goals by expanding its core business

• There are three concentration options

– Product – market exploitation

– Product development option

– Market development option

6-13Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 14: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-14

Concentration Strategies

• Product-Market exploitation

– Attempt to increase sales of current products in current markets and might include incentives or advertizing

• Product development option

– Creates new products or new features on current products, which would be sold in current markets

• Market development option

– When selling current products in new markets

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 15: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-15

Concentration Strategies – cont’d

• A concentration strategy is one that looks for ways to grow the core business using different combinations of products and markets

– Product market diversification is not usually viewed as a concentration option as it involves expansion into both new products and new markets

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 16: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-16

Concentration Strategies – cont’d

• The advantage of a concentration strategy is an organization becomes good at what it does

– The develop knowledge of the industry and of their competitors

– Functional and competitive strategies can be tuned to know what customers want and how to best provide it

– Everyone can concentrate on exploiting resources, competencies, and capabilities critical to success

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 17: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-17

Concentration Strategies – cont’d

• The main drawback is that the organization is vulnerable to changes in the industry and the external environment

– The key is to recognize significant trends and adjusting the organization’s direction

• Concentration strategy may be effective for small companies, but larger often start off by this approach and may continue using it

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 18: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-18

Vertical Integration

• Is a strategy that grows by gaining control of its inputs (backward) or its outputs (forward)

• Backward integration

– The organization becomes its own supplier

– Example: eBay bought an online payment business

• Forward integration

– The organization becomes its own distributor

– Example: Apple Computer opened retail outlets

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 19: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-19

Vertical Integration – cont’d

• Vertical integration strategy is a growth strategy because an organization expands its activities and operations by becoming a source of supply or distribution

– However, expanding into industries connected to its primary business means it is still a single business organization

– It is taking another path to meeting growth goals by controlling different parts of the value chain

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 20: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-20

Horizontal Integration

• This strategy is used to grow the organization by combining operations with its competitors

– Allows an organization to expand market share and strengthen its competitive position in it’s same industry

• Is it legal?

– U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice evaluates whether antitrust implications.

Page 21: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-21

Diversification

• This strategy enables a company to grow by moving into a different industry.

• There are two types of diversification

– Related

– Unrelated

• Related Diversification

– Is diversifying into a different industry, but related to the company’s current business

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 22: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-22Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 23: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-23

Diversification – cont’d

• Unrelated diversification

– Diversifying into a completely different industry, not related to the company’s current business

• Diversification is an attempt at a “strategic” fit

– Effort is to transfer resources, distinctive capabilities, and core competencies to the new industry

– It is an attempt at synergy that seeks to enhance performance of both businesses

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 24: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-24

Diversification – cont’d

• Synergy occurs when shared resources, capabilities, and competencies enable greater performance by two entities when combined

• Unrelated diversification is when an organization seeks growth by moving into industries in which there is no strategic fit

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 25: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-25

Diversification – cont’d

• Research shows that related diversification is superior to unrelated diversification because it allows the effective use of current resources, capabilities, and core competencies

– However, unrelated diversification can be a valuable strategy at times, depending on how effectively the diverse operations are managed

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 26: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-26

International

• This is another growth strategy that seeks to take advantage of potential opportunities offered by global markets or by protecting core operations from global competitors

– This approach will be discussed at greater length in Chapter 7

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 27: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-27

Implementing the Growth Strategies

• There are three basic ways that growth strategies can be implemented:

– Mergers/Acquisitions

– Internal development

– Strategic partnering

• Mergers-Acquisitions

– Involves the purchase of an organization that enables a firm to combine operations with that company it has merged with or acquired

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 28: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-28

Mergers and Acquisitions

• Merger is a legal transaction in which two parties combined operations through an exchange of stock to create a new entity

– Usually they take place between organizations of similar size and it is considered “friendly”, it is acceptable to all parties

• Acquisition is an outright purchase of one company by another

– Can be hostile and involve different sized firms

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 29: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-29

Internal development

• Internal development involves creating and developing new business activities within

– Rather than face risks and challenges of combining new businesses, a company seeks to develop crucial capabilities to meet desired goals

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 30: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-30

Strategic Partnering

• This is a grow effort that seeks to minimize the challenges and risks or buying a business or developing its own

• The three main types of strategic partnerships are:

1. joint ventures,

2. long-term contracts

3. strategic alliances

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 31: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-31

Joint Ventures (JV)

– Two or more organizations form separate and equal independent organization for strategic purposes

– It minimizes the financial and political/legal constraints that accompany M&A or internal development

– Example: Clorox and Proctor & Gamble entered a JV to develop garbage bags and plastic wrap

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 32: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-32

Long Term Contracts

• Long term contract

– Covers a specific business purpose

– Viewed as variation of vertical integration between company and supplier

– Both partners understand the importance of long term benefits to meet cost or quality expectations

– Creates assured outlet for products

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 33: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-33

Strategic Alliance

• Strategic alliance

– Two or more organizations share different resources, capabilities, or competencies to pursue some business purpose; requires trust

– Different than joint venture because there is no separate legal entity formed

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 34: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-34

Learning Review: Learning Outcome 6.2

• Define growth strategy

• Describe the various corporate growth strategies

• Discuss how the corporate growth strategies can be implemented

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 35: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-35

Learning Outcome 6.3

Describe the Organizational Stability Strategy

• It may seem odd for an organization to want to remain where it is

– However, it may make sense when resources, capabilities, or competencies are stretched to limits and growth might risk the organization’s competitiveness

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 36: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-36

When is Stability an Appropriate Strategic Choice?

• In period of rapid upheaval with several industry and general external forces drastically changing

– This demands investment in current businesses or functions

• When there is slow or no growth opportunities

– Allows the firm to analyze their strategic options –diversification, vertical or horizontal integration

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 39: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-39

Implementing Stability Strategy

• Primarily, this means not growing, but not allowing decline

– While it may not mean putting new products on the market, it may mean evaluating what is being done and determining what might be done better

• Stability can be appropriate, but it is short term

– If weaknesses exist or performance declines, it may embark on renewal effort

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 40: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-40

Learning Review:Learning Outcome 6.3

• What is a stability strategy?

• Why might an organization choose a stability strategy?

• Describe how a stability strategy is implemented.

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 41: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-41

Learning Outcome 6.4

Describe Organizational Renewal Strategies

• When managers have not been effective and unable to develop or exploit a competitive advantage the organization will need for something to be done in order to survive

– Renewal strategies are used to put the organization back on the path to successfully achieving its strategic goals

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 42: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-42

What Leads to Performance Declines?

• Poor management judgment is evident when:

– Decisions to expand too rapidly or over-expand

– Inadequate financial controls or high costs

– Managers unaware of trends or changes in the external environment

– Performance is declining

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 43: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-43Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 44: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-44

Signs of Declining Performance

• Excess number of personnel

• Unnecessary and cumbersome administrative procedures

• Fear of conflict or taking risks

• Tolerating work incompetence at any level or in any area of the organization

• Lack of clear vision, mission, or goals

• Ineffective or poor communication within various units and between various units

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 45: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-45

Retrenchment

• Retrenchment

– Short run strategy designed to address weaknesses that are leading to performance declines

– Not necessary to have negative financial returns, usually occurs if unable to meet strategic goals

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 46: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-46

Retrenchment – cont’d

– Is a military term refers to going back to the “trenches” to stabilize, revitalize, and prepare for entering battle again

– The point is to address issues before they lead to severe problems

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 47: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-47

Turnaround

– Designed for situations in which the organization’s performance are more serious

– Often when the organization is facing severe external and internal pressures and must make strategic changes in order to remain viable

– There is no guarantee the turnaround will accomplish the desired results, but without it the organization will not survive

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 48: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-48

Implementing Renewal Strategies

• Cost cutting

– Reducing costs to bring performance results back in line with expectations

– It can be across the board or selective

– The effort should avoid cutting costs in those areas critical to retain or exploit competitiveness

– Redundancies, inefficiencies, or waste in activities should be eliminated

– Restructuring/downsizing are severe approaches

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 49: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-49

Restructuring

• This includes refocusing on the primary businesses and involve

– Selling or divestment

– Spin off

– Liquidation

– Downsizing

• Divestment might occur when the business is desired by another company and is no longer a strategic fit

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 50: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-50

Restructuring – cont’d

• Spin off

– Involves removing a business unit and setting it up as a separate, independent business by distributing its shares of stock

• Liquidation

• When no buyer exists or there is no possible spin off, a business unit will be discontinued

– This is a strategic action of last resort

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 51: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-51

Restructuring – cont’d

• Downsizing

– Is a quick way to cut costs by elimination jobs

– It can be effective when done strategically

– Table 6.3 lists some recommendations

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 52: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-52

Learning Review:Learning Outcome 6.4

• Discuss the causes of corporate decline

• Describe the two organizational renewal strategies

• What two strategic actions are used in implementing the renewal strategies?

• Describe organizational restructuring actions

• Why are most organizational renewal strategies used in combination?

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 53: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-53

Learning Outcome 6.5

Discuss How Corporate Strategy is Evaluated and Changed

• Competitive strategy and functional strategies have been aligned with organizational goals

– How do you know its working?

– Has it been successful?

– How can that be evaluated?

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 54: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-54

Evaluating Corporate Strategies

• This is an important part of the entire strategic management process

• There are four main evaluation techniques

– Corporate goals

– Efficiency, effectiveness, productivity

– Benchmarking

– Portfolio analysis

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 55: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-55Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 56: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-56

Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Productivity Measures

• Efficiency is an organization’s ability to minimize resource use in goal attainment

• Effectiveness is an organization’s ability to reach its goals

• Productivity is a specific measure of how many inputs it takes to produce outputs

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 57: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-57

Benchmarking

• Is the search for the best practices inside or outside an organization

– The benchmarking process can be used to implement strategy

– Specific benchmarks or best practices can be a standard against which to measure performance

– Using benchmarks, strategic managers can evaluate whether an organization is being managed well or if improvements are needed

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 58: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-58

Portfolio Analysis

• When a company has multiple brands, a portfolio is its various business units

• Portfolio analysis is done through one of three different matrices

– Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix

– McKinsey-GE stoplight matrix

– Product –market evolution matrix

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 59: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-59

Portfolio Analysis – cont’d

• BCG matrix

– Focuses on growth share

– Determines whether a business unit is a cash producer or cash user

– Measures a business unit’s market share compared to the market share of the largest rival in the industry

– There are four areas within this matrix ‘ “dog”, “question mark”, “star”, and “cash cow”

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 60: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-60

BCG Matrix – cont’d

• “DOG”

– A business unit with low growth and low market share

– Requires significant cash investments to continue operation

– May be a business to divest, liquidate, or harvest; using excess cash to support other businesses

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 61: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-61

BCG Matrix – cont’d

• “Question mark”

– These are low in competitive strength, though it is in an industry with potential

– If meeting the cash needs for development that would allow it to achieve “star” status, a firm may invest

– If the cash infusion does not allow for the business to become a star, a firm may divest

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 62: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-62

BCG Matrix – cont’d

• “Star”

– A business with high market share and high growth potential

– Stars may take significant cash infusion to maintain market leadership or they may take little cash if the industry is not that competitive

– This is the strongest position in the matrix

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 63: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-63

BCG Matrix – cont’d

• “Cash cow”

– These are businesses with high market share in an industry with a low growth rate

– These are strong cash providers, but additional cash infusion will not alter the position

– So, positive cash flows from these businesses should be used to support stars and question marks with potential

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 64: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-64

McKinsey-GE Spotlight Matrix

• Provides a more comprehensive analysis of a business unit’s internal and external factors

– More than relative market share, it includes an analysis of the internal resources and capabilities believed to be important to business success

– Industry attractiveness includes such factors as profitability, number of competitors, ethical standards, technological stability of the market, market growth rate

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 65: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-65Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 66: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-66

Product-Market Evolution Matrix

• This looks at individual competitive position and stage in the product life-cycle

– This also suffers from the same subjectivity biases as McKinsey matrix

• All portfolio matrices seek to assess performance and help a firm decide what to support, what to acquire, and what to sell.

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Page 67: Coulter smia6 ppt_06

6-67

Changing Corporate Strategies

• Strategic managers must decide whether to act and, if so, what actions to take

– Changes to functional and competitive strategies might be necessary, modifications or even drastic action might be needed to achieve desired results

– The key is to understand the opportunities and threats, strengths and weaknesses facing the organization and the need to design appropriate strategies to exploit resources, capabilities, and core competencies

Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 7- 67

Page 68: Coulter smia6 ppt_06
