GARETH R. JONES /CHARLES W. L. HILL Theory of Strategic Management Chapter 1 Strategic Leadership: Managing the Strategy Making Process for Competitive Advantage

The Concept of ‘Strategy’ The word ‘Strategy’ was initially introduced and defined in the ancient military dictionaries It comes from the Greek word ‘strategos’, strictly meaning a general in command of an army; it is formed from ‘stratos’, meaning army and ‘ag’, meaning to lead Used first time in business literature by William Newman (1951)

Competitive Advantage To increase shareholder value, managers must pursue strategies that increase the profitability of the company and ensure that profits grow.

A company has competitive advantage over its rivals when its profitability is greater than the average profitability and profit growth of other companies competing for the same set of customer.

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE Risk capital is capital that cannot be recovered if a company fails and goes bankrupt. Shareholder value is the return that a shareholder earns from purchasing shares in a company.

 External Analysis Purpose is to identify the strategic opportunities and threats in the organization’s operating environment that will affect how it pursues its mission. External Analysis requires an assessment of: Industry environment in which company operates Competitive structure of industry Competitive position of the company Competitiveness and position of major rivals The country or national environments in which company competes The wider socioeconomic or macroenvironment that may affect the company and its industry Social Government Legal International Technological

 Internal Analysis Internal analysis includes an assessment of: Purpose is to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of the organization. Strengths lead to superior performance and weaknesses to inferior performance. Internal analysis includes an assessment of: Quantity and quality of a company’s resources and capabilities Ways of building unique skills and company-specific or distinctive competencies Building & sustaining a competitive advantage requires a company to achieve superior: Efficiency Quality Innovations Responsiveness to customers

STRATEGY PLANNING PROCESS 4. SWOT Analysis and the Business Model The comparison of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats is normally referred to as a SWOT analysis. The goal of a SWOT analysis: Create, affirm, or fine-tune a company-specific business model. Design a business model that will best align, fit, and match a company’s resources and capabilities to the demands of the environment in which it operates.

STRATEGY PLANNING PROCESS 5. Strategy Implementation Strategy implementation involves taking action at the functional, business, and corporate levels to execute a strategic plan. Putting quality improvement programs into place Changing the way a product is designed Positioning the product differently in the marketplace Offering different versions of the product to different consumers

STRATEGY DECISION MAKING Cognitive Biases and Strategic Decision Making The rationality of decision-making is bound by one’s cognitive capabilities. When managers make decisions, they tend to fall back on certain rules of thumb. Sometimes these rules lead to severe errors, called cognitive biases. Prior hypothesis bias refers to making decisions based on a belief, even when evidence proves that the belief is incorrect.

Cognitive Biasis and Strategic Decision Making Escalating commitment occurs when decision makers, having committed significant resources to a project, commit even more despite feedback that tells them the project is failing. The use of simple analogies to make sense out of a complex problem is reasoning analogy, which may flawed by invalid reasoning. Generalizing from a small sample or a single vivid anecdote is representativeness. The illusion of control is the tendency to overestimates one’s ability to control events.

Techniques for Improving Decision Making Devil’s advocacy requires the generation of a plan, as well as a critical analysis of that plan. Dialectic inquiry requires the generation of a plan and a counter-plan that reflects plausible but conflicting courses of action. Strategic managers listen to a debate between advocates of the plan and counter-plan and then decide which will lead to higher performance. This approach may reveal problems with definitions, recommended courses of action, and assumptions of both plans.

Characteristics of Good Strategic Leaders Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion. -Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric Vision, Eloquence, and Consistency A strong leader gives an organization a sense of direction. Articulation of a Business Model Knowing how the various strategies that the company pursues fit together.

Characteristics of Good Strategic Leaders Commitment A strong leader demonstrates his or her commitment to a vision and business model with action and words. Being Well Informed Effective leaders develop a network of formal and informal sources who to keep them well informed about what is going on within their company.

Characteristics of Good Strategic Leaders Willingness to Delegate and Empower Avoids being overloaded with responsibilities. Understands that delegation is a good motivational tool. The Astute Use of Power Power comes from control over resources that are important to the organization: budgets, capital, positions, information, and knowledge. Politically astute managers use these resources to critically place allies who can help them attain their strategic objectives. (continued)

Characteristics of Good Strategic Leaders Emotional Intelligence Self-awareness—the ability to understand one’s own moods, emotions, and drives as well as their effect on others Self-regulation—the ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses or moods, that is, to think before acting Motivation—a passion for work that goes beyond money or status and a propensity to pursue goals with energy and persistence Empathy—the ability to understand the feelings and viewpoints of subordinates and taking those into account when making decisions Social skills—friendliness with a purpose.
