17 Capacity utilization Make or buy decisions Unit 6: Business Strategy (HL ONLY) This topic does not add new content but gathers together and synthesizes ideas, concepts and techniques from the course. The use of these ideas, concepts and techniques will allow informed decisions to be made about the future direction of an organization. This will be assessed through a question in section C of paper 1 requiring a strategic response. Student s should apply business theories learned in class to real- life situations. Strategy is about asking questions: what, why, when, how, where and who? Strategic management is the management of the long term activities of the business, which includes the integration of strategic analysis, strategic choice and strategic implementation. Stage 1: Strategic analysis where is the business now? Deciding where the business is now involves an analysis of its internal and external situation. The analysis will dictate the nature of future strategy. The opportunities and threats faced will vary according to the nature of the business. An analysis of the present market and the firms competitive situation will influence the aims, objects and principles. The starting point for the analysis will probably be through the use of a SWOT and PEST analysis. Questions to consider: Is the business new or established? Who are the stakeholders? Is the business profit or NPO? Types of organization? What are objectives of organization? How does mission/vision statement reflect business? What are attitudes of the business to risk? What is the firms present financial situation and is it conducive to change? Financial analysis and ratio analysis? Is present product portfolio appropriate? (Boston matrix) What resources are available to the business? (Porter s five forces market analysis) Should the organization enter international markets?
18 Stage 2: Strategic choice where is the business aiming to be? Once the business has identified its position in the market, it needs to consider its objectives in the short medium and long term. To achieve this, the business must examine market opportunities, threats, and then plan for the future. Questions to consider: Why are business plans important? How are markets developing? (Sales forecasting) Which new market opportunities are available? (Market research) What are the future directions available to the firm? When is expansion desirable and achievable? (Small vs large organizations, Cash flow forecasts, Gearing, Sources of finance, HR planning) How can the core competencies of the business be developed? Growth strategies? (Ansoff matrix, Investment appraisal) What are competitors doing and how can their offer be matched or improved upon? (Benchmarking) How do the processes of decision making help to direct the business? (scientific and formal, decision tree, Force field analysis? What are the measures of success? (ROCE, Market share, Motivation and productivity) Stage 3: Strategic implementation how is the business going to achieve its objectives? Having decided on the future direction of the business, its mission, aims and objectives, how will the business put its strategies into operation? Questions to consider: How can the firm develop competitive advantage? (Porters generic strategies) Which new products/services should be developed? Which new technologies could be applied? How can differentiation be achieved? How should the business plan for change? (Workforce planning, recruitment and training, flexible working patterns, investment appraisal) What is the appropriate scale of operations? (economies and diseconomies of scale) Which growth methods can and should be selected? (Internal/organic growth, external growth, globalization) Which marketing strategies can be implemented? (Market leadership and market penetration pricing, segmentation, targeting and positioning, distribution chain management, e- commerce) What is the appropriate organizational structure? (flattening, decentralization, flexible organization such as Handy s shamrock) What is the appropriate management and leadership style How should the firm incorporate social responsibility and ethical approaches? How can change be managed effectively? (change culture, contingency planning and crisis management)
