2. The British Broadcasting Corporation • One of Britain’s most important cultural institutions • A dominant force in the Broadcasting industry (News entertainment and information) • Tries to differentiate itself with a wide variety of high quality programs (Teletubbies and Castaway) • Government-owned • Service provided for a license fee

3. BBC’s General Environment The main strength is its growth potential and projection (TV, Radio, Internet) and the strong position in the UK compared to it’s competitors. • Social: One of the most important institutions in the UK • Technology: Holds a continuous commitment to improve their technology and means of security (Increased use of fiber Optics, and Digital systems) • Political: Deregulation in the telecommunication industry, and presence of the government in decision-making • Economy: Unification of the European Union, strong presence in the UK (basically no strong competitors)

9. TOWS Matrix This matrix uses BBC’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to show the different possible strategies and solutions These strategies then can be implemented to help the overall performance and profitability of the organization. SPACE Matrix The BBC falls in the IV quadrant, which indicates that the company should pursue a Competitive strategy. The firm should consider the following alternative courses of action: horizontal integration, market penetration and product development. Strategy Formulation

10. BCG Matrix Radio: 52.6% market share, 47.4% growth rate; considered a “STAR” TV: 37.1% market share, 62.9% growth rate; rated as “CASH COW” BBC Online: “QUESTION MARK” This is because it has a very low market share, but retains a high growth rate percentage. IE Matrix UK: should pursue a hold and maintain strategy including market penetration and product development US/WORLD: harvest or divest strategies should be implemented. They will probably never harvest or divest the world portion because this is used for “political presence.” Strategy Formulation
