  9. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT = STRATEGIC PLANNING + IMPLEMENTATION + CONTROL Strategic management: the ongoing process of ensuring a competitively superior fit between an organization and its changing environment. Strategy: “the pattern of decisions a firm makes.” “The strategic management perspective is the product of a historical evolution and is now understood to include budget control, long-range planning, and strategic planning.”

  10. SYNERGY(Thinking Strategically) Synergy: occurs when two or more variables (for example, chemicals, drugs, people, organizations) interact to produce an effect greater than the sum of the effects of the variables acting independently. • The 1 + 1 = 3 effect • The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

  11. SYNERGY(Thinking Strategically)(continued) Four Kinds of Synergy: • Market synergy • Cost synergy • Technological synergy • Management synergy

  12. SYNERGY(Thinking Strategically)(continued) Individual Exercise: What kinds of synergy have you achieved in your personal affairs? Team Exercise: How many examples of synergy in the business world can you identify in five minutes?

  13. PORTER’S GENERIC COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES(Thinking Strategically) Differentiation: “the ability to provide unique and superior value to the buyer in terms of product quality, special features, or after-sale service.”

  18. BUSINESS ECOSYSTEMS(Thinking Strategically) Business ecosystem: an economic community of organizations and all their stakeholders, including suppliers and customers. Key theme:“Organizations need to be as good at cooperating as they are at competing if they are to succeed.”

  19. BUSINESS ECOSYSTEMS(Thinking Strategically)(continued) James F. Moore:“the major factor today limiting the spread of realized innovation is not a lack of good ideas, technology, or capital. It is the inability to command cooperation across broad, diverse communities of players who must become intimate parts of a far-reaching process of coevolution.”

  20. BUSINESS ECOSYSTEMS(Thinking Strategically)(continued) Individual or Team Exercise: Pick a well-known organization and identify members of its ecosystem. What organization is dominant in that ecosystem?

  21. STRATEGY.COM (Thinking Strategically) E-Commerce Strategy Lessons: • Different types and combinations of revenue sources will require different business models. • Loyal customers still expect a personal touch and some “hand holding” when they have questions, problems, or suggestions. • Identify core competencies to decide which bricks-and-mortar facilities earn their keep.

  22. STRATEGY.COM (Thinking Strategically)(continued) E-Commerce Strategy Lessons: • E-commerce sometimes requires a quick revolution, rather than slow evolution. (Start with a blank sheet of paper. Cannibalism may pay.) • E-commerce customers increasingly want high ethical standards throughout the supply chain. • “Only the paranoid survive.” (Everyone is a potential competitor in e-commerce.

  23. THE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PROCESS 1. Formulation of a grand strategy • Grand strategy: a general explanation of how the organization’s mission is to be accomplished. • Situational analysis: a technique for matching organizational strengths and weaknesses with environmental opportunities and threats to determine the organization’s right niche.

  28. FORECASTING Forecasts: predictions, projections, or estimates of future events or conditions in the environment in which the organization operates.

  29. FORECASTING(continued) Types of Forecasts • Event outcome forecasts: used when strategists want to predict the outcome of highly probable future events. • Event timing forecasts: predict when, if ever, given events will occur. • Time series forecasts: seek to estimate future values in a sequence of periodically recorded statistics.
