Nice-to-be in Markets Strategic Alliances have made vertical and horizontal integration less important Alliances boost contribution to fixed cost while expanding a company’s global reach

  8. Global Strategy Formulation Standardization/Positioning As globalization advances, many companies seek to standardize core products and services However, the idea of a fully identical standardized global product is a myth…Ex. Sony Adopting a more global market positioning is another form of standardization Example of these are Coca Cola, Disney World, Unilever, and IBM

  10. Global Strategy Formulation Activity Concentration To enhance global competitiveness, companies continually look at 3 factors (1) which parts of the value-creation process they should do themselves and which to outsource (2)whether they can eliminate duplicate operations and reduce the number of manufacturing sites (3) whether they can relocate value-added activities to more cost effective locations Ex. Eli Lilly with R&D
