The Limitations of SWOT Analysis Strengths may not lead to an advantage SWOT’s focus on the external environment is too narrow SWOT gives a one-shot view of a moving target SWOT overemphasizes a single dimension of strategy

The Value Chain Sequential process of value-creating activities The amount that buyers are willing to pay for what a firm provides them Value is measured by total revenue Firm is profitable to the extent the value it receives exceeds the total costs involved in creating its product or service The benefits of streamlining a business with value chain management include: Lower infrastructure costs associated with collaboration. Create commonality in parts and suppliers. Control inventory by getting the supply chain talking to the demand chain. Cut transaction costs by integrating with public and private exchanges. Deliver products to market faster while minimizing risk and capital investment.

Porter.

Criteria for Sustainable Competitive Advantage and Strategic Implications Exhibit 3.8 Criteria for Sustainable Competitive Advantage and Strategic Implications Source; Adapted from J. Barney, “Firm Resources a Sustained Competitive Advantage, ‘ Journal of Management 17 (1991), pp. 99-120.

Evaluating Firm Performance Balanced Score Card Provides a meaningful integration of many issues that come into evaluating a firm’s performance Four key perspectives How do customers see us? (customer perspective) What must we excel at? (internal perspective) Can we continue to improve and create value? (innovation and learning perspective) How do we look to shareholders? (financial perspective) How do customers see us? (customer perspective) Time Quality Performance and service Cost What must we excel at? (internal perspective) Processes Cycle time Employee Skills Productivity Decisions Actions Coordination Resources and capabilities Can we continue to improve and create value? (innovation and learning perspective) Introduction of new products and services Greater value for customers Increased operating efficiencies\ How do we look to shareholders? (financial perspective) Profitability Growth Shareholder value Increased market share Reduced operating expenses Higher asset turnover Problems with the Balanced Score Card Lack of a clear strategy Limited or ineffective executive sponsorship Too much emphasis on financial measures rather than nonfinancial measures Poor data on actual performance Inappropriate links to scorecard measures to compensation Inconsistent or inappropriate Terminology
