7 Strategic Flexibility
A set of capabilities used to respond to various demands and opportunities existing in a dynamic and uncertain competitive environment It involves coping with uncertainty and the accompanying risks

8 I/O Model of Above-Average Returns
1. External Environments General Environment Global Technological Economic Sociocultural Political/Legal Demographic 1. Strategy dictated by the external environments of the firm (what opportunities exist in these environments?) 2. Firm develops internal skills required by external environment (what can the firm do about the opportunities?) Industry Environment Competitor Environment

9 Industrial Organization Model
I/O Model of Above-Average Returns Industrial Organization Model 1. Study the external environment, especially the industry environment economies of scale barriers to market entry diversification product differentiation degree of concentration of firms in the industry The External Environment

10 Industrial Organization Model
I/O Model of Above-Average Returns Industrial Organization Model 2. Locate an attractive industry with a high potential for above-average returns The External Environment An Attractive Industry Attractive industry: one whose structural characteristics suggest above-average returns

11 Industrial Organization Model
I/O Model of Above-Average Returns Industrial Organization Model 3. Identify the strategy called for by the attractive industry to earn above-average returns The External Environment An Attractive Industry Strategy Formulation Strategy formulation: selection of a strategy linked with above-average returns in a particular industry

12 Industrial Organization Model
I/O Model of Above-Average Returns Industrial Organization Model 4. Develop or acquire assets and skills needed to implement the strategy The External Environment An Attractive Industry Strategy Formulation Assets and Skills Assets and skills: those assets and skills required to implement a chosen strategy

13 Industrial Organization Model
I/O Model of Above-Average Returns Industrial Organization Model 5. Use the firm’s strengths (its developed or acquired assets and skills) to implement the strategy The External Environment An Attractive Industry Strategy Formulation Assets and Skills Strategy implementation: select strategic actions linked with effective implementation of the chosen strategy Strategy Implementation

14 Industrial Organization Model
I/O Model of Above-Average Returns Industrial Organization Model The External Environment An Attractive Industry Strategy Formulation Assets and Skills Superior returns: earning of above-average returns Strategy Implementation Superior Returns

15 Resource-based Model of Above Average Returns
1. Strategy dictated by unique resources and capabilities of the firm (what can the firm do best?) 2. Find an environment in which to exploit these assets (where are the best opportunities?) 1. Firm’s Resources The Firm

16 Resource-based Model of Above Average Returns
1. Identify the firm’s resources-- strengths and weaknesses compared with competitors Resources Resources: inputs into a firm’s production process

17 Resource-based Model of Above Average Returns
2. Determine the firm’s capabilities--what it can do better than its competitors Resources Capability Capability: capacity of an integrated set of resources to integratively perform a task or activity

18 Four Attributes of Resources and Capabilities (Competitive Advantage)
Valuable allow the firm to exploit opportunities or neutralize threats in its external environment Rare possessed by few, if any, current and potential competitors Resources and Capabilities Costly to imitate when other firms cannot obtain them or must obtain them at a much higher cost Nonsubstitutable the firm is organized appropriately to obtain the full benefits of the resources in order to realize a competitive advantage

19 Resources and capabilities that meet these four criteria become a source of:
Valuable Rare Core Competencies Core Competencies Resources and Capabilities Costly to imitate Nonsubstitutable

20 Core Competencies are the basis for a firm’s
Competitive advantage Strategic competitiveness Core Competencies Ability to earn above-average returns

21 Competitive Advantage
Resource-based Model of Above Average Returns Resource-based Model 3. Determine the potential of the firm’s resources and capabilities in terms of a competitive advantage Resources Capability Competitive Advantage Competitive advantage: ability of a firm to outperform its rivals

22 Resource-based Model of Above Average Returns
4. Locate an attractive industry Resources Capability Competitive Advantage An Attractive Industry An attractive industry: an industry with opportunities that can be exploited by the firm’s resources and capabilities

23 Resource-based Model of Above Average Returns
5. Select a strategy that best allows the firm to utilize its resources and capabilities relative to opportunities in the external environment Resources Capability Competitive Advantage An Attractive Industry Strategy formulation and implementation: strategic actions taken to earn above average returns Strategy Form/Impl

24 Resource-based Model of Above Average Returns
Resources Capability Competitive Advantage An Attractive Industry Superior returns: earning of above-average returns Strategy Form/Impl Superior Returns

25 Stakeholders: Groups who are affected by a firm’s performance and who have claims on its wealth The firm must maintain performance at an adequate level in order to maintain the participation of key stakeholders Capital Market Stock market/Investors Debt suppliers/Banks Firm Product Market Primary Customers Suppliers Organizational Employees Managers Non-Managers 59

26 Stakeholder Involvement
Each of the key stakeholders wants a piece of the same pie 1 How do you divide the pie in order to keep all of the stakeholders involved? 2 How do you increase the size of the pie so that there is more to go around? 62
