Defensive Retrenchment Divestiture Liquidation Do nothing Offensive Types of Integration Forward Backward Horizontal Intensive Market penetration Market development Product Development Diversification
Types of I. Integration Strategy Description Example Forward integration Backward integration Horizontal integration Gaining ownership or increased control over distributors or retailers Seeking ownership or increased control of a firm s suppliers Seeking ownership or increased control over competitors An agricultural company purchased a regional bakerychain Hotels Inc. purchased a furniture producer One department store acquired another department store
Types of Forward integration effective when: present distributors are especially expensive or unreliable availability of quality distributors is limited competes in an industry growing and expected to continue to grow an organization has both capital and HR needed to manage of distributing its own products present distributors or retailers have high profit margin distributors
Types of Backward integration effective when: present suppliers are especially expensive or unreliable number of suppliers is small and the number of competitors is large competes in an industry growing and expected to continue to grow an organization has both capital and HR to manage new business of supplying its own raw materials the advantages of a stable raw material price particularly important present suppliers have high profit margin suppliers
Types of Horizontal integration effective when: increase economic of scale provide major competitive advantages competes in an industry growing and expected to continue to grow an organization has both capital and HR needed to manage an expanded organization competitors
Types of II. Intensive Strategy Market penetration Market development Product development Related diversification Unrelated diversification Description Increased market share for present products in present market through greater marketing efforts Introducing present products or services into new geographic area Increased sales by improving present products or developing new ones Adding new but related products or services Adding new unrelated products and services Example Coca cola is spending millions to advertise its drinks MOL purchased a 10 % stake in Slovakoil Glaxo Smith Kline (UK) introduced the new Aquafresh 3 total care toothpaste Glaxo Smith Kline (UK) introduced the new ADAPTOR toothbrush A kitchenware company entered into a growing skin and beauty business
Types of Market penetration effective when: Current markets are not saturated with a particular product or service usage rate of present customers could be increased significantly market share of major competitors have been declining while total industry sales have been increasing increased economies of scale provide major competitive advantages present products in present market Sony co. is spending over $141 million in a new advertising and promotion drive to market its high-definition television named BRAVIA sets in the USA. 2006
Types of Market development effective when: new channels of distribution are available, inexpensive an organization is very successful at what it does new untapped or unsaturated markets exists an organization has both capital and HR needed to manage an expanded organization an organization has excess production capacity an organization s basic industry is becoming rapidly global is scope present products in new geographic area Adidas in May 2005 had 1500 stores in China and stated that it would open another 40 stores every month for the next 40 months
Types of Product development effective when: an organization has successful products that are in maturity stage of the product life cycle. an industry represented by rapid technological developments major competitors offer better-quality products in comparable prices an organization competes in a high-growth industry an organization has especially strong R& D capabilities improving present products or developing new ones In 2005 Heineken developed and introduced low-calorie low carbohydrate beer Heineken Light into US. Brad Pitt and John Travolta are promotes its product.

Types of II. Intensive Strategy Market penetration Market development Product development Related diversification Unrelated diversification Description Increased market share for present products in present market through greater marketing efforts Introducing present products or services into new geographic area Increased sales by improving present products or developing new ones Adding new but related products or services Adding new unrelated products and services Example Coca cola is spending millions to advertise its drinks MOL purchased a 10 % stake in Slovakoil Glaxo Smith Kline (UK) introduced the new Aquafresh 3 total care toothpaste Glaxo Smith Kline (UK) introduced the new ADAPTOR toothbrush A kitchenware company entered into a growing skin and beauty business
Types of Related diversification effective when: an organization competes in a no-growth or slow-growth industry related products would enhance the sales of current products related products could be offered at highly competitive prices related products have no seasonal sales level that can balance existing trade problems (grain flour bakery) existing products are in a declining stage of the product s life cycle Adding new but related products Dell computer Inc. turned to produce flat-panel televisions and MP3 players, and opened an online music-downloading store.
Types of Unrelated diversification effective when: an organization competes in a highly competitive industry as indicated by low profit margins and returns present marketing channels can be used to new products to current customers an organization s basic industry is experiencing declining sales and profits an organization has both capital and HR to compete in a new industry purchase an unrelated business is an attractive investment opportunity Adding new unrelated products Hospitals are creating small malls by offering banks, bookstores, coffee shops, restaurants, drugstores and other retail stores within their buildings

Types of Size of market Michael Porter s Five Generic Large Small Cost leadership Low cost Best value - Differentiation Diff. Diff. Focus - Low cost Best value
Types of Generic To gain competitive advantage from 3 different bases: Cost leadership: producing standardized products at very low perunit cost for consumers who are price-sensitive. Two alternatives: low cost strategy: concentrate on a low cost best value: concentrate on best-price-value compared to rival s Differentiation Considered unique or industrywide products and services Focus: fulfill the needs of small groups of consumers Two alternatives low cost focus: best value focus
Types of Cost leadership effective when: price competition among rivals vigorous products of rival sellers are identical most buyers use the product in same ways buyers are large and have significant power to bargain down prices Tools: integration R&D Capacity utilization Outsourcing
Types of Differentiation effective when: there are many ways to differentiate the products few rival firm are following a similar approaches buyers needs and users are diverse technological change is fast Tools: Market penetration Market development Related diversification R&D
Types of Focus effective when: Industry leaders consider it too costly or difficult to meet the specialized needs few other rivals are attempting to specialize in the same segment Tools: Market penetration Market development Related diversification R&D Outsourcing
