STRATEGIC PLANNING & LEVELS OF STRATEGY


Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Thinking Strategically: The Three Big Strategic Questions


At the Strategic (organisation wide) level the questions are: 1. Where are we now -- what is our situation? 2. Where do we want to go?
Business(es) we want to be in and market positions we want to stake out Buyer needs and groups we want to serve Outcomes we want to achieve

3. How will we get there?


Thus at the Marketing Management level the business we are in is a given, but the target groups, product offering etc. still needs to be decided.
Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

The Hierarchy of Strategy

Corporate Strategy Business Strategy (SBU) Functional Strategy


Consumer Product Firms Industrial Product Firms Service Organisations Non Profit Organisations

Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Levels of Strategy - Corporate


Corporate Level strategic decisions are concerned with: overall purpose and scope adding value to shareholder investment portfolio issues resource allocation between SBUs structure and control of SBUs corporate financial strategy

Strategic Management in Different Contexts (1)


In small businesses, the importance of:
the expectations of individuals (e.g. Owners and founders) competitive positioning

product and geographic scope portfolio decisions corporate structure and control

Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Strategic Management in Different Contexts (2)


In the public sector, the importance of: powerful stakeholder influence (e.g. by government)
constraints or guidelines on strategic decision making by government competition for resources delivery of value for money within a political context

In the professional service organisations, the importance of:


the expectations and standards of professionals the powerful influence of internal stakeholders (e.g. partners) increasingly, competitive positioning.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS


Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Situational Analysis and the 5Cs

Company

Customer [&Collaborators]

You could use a SWOT analysis to bring these elements together and start to create meaningful information from the raw data

Context

Competitors [& Collaborators]

Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

SWOT
Examples of questions to explore
Strength
What do you do particularly well? What do you do that is unique in the marketplace? What do your customers/clients/patrons ask for you to do over and over again? What do you have the right tools/resources to accomplish?

Weaknesses
What do you not feel as comfortable doing? What needed resources, staff, or skills do you lack?

Internal Factors

Opportunities
Are there new situations coming down the road that you can take advantage of (new programs being offered, new faculty joining the department, new tools available to you)? Are there gaps in the market that you can fill? Are there partnerships that might be fruitful?

Threats
Who is your competition and what do they offer that you cant do as well or at all? Are there environmental changes or situations that could cause problems for you and your programs? What other roadblocks are being thrown in your path?

External Factors

The big question is So what..?! i.e. so what does this all mean? What are the implications of the information in each quadrant? A list on its own is of little value.

Be SMART!

SETTING OBJECTIVES

Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Writing Objectives be SMART!

Specific
Objectives have to be specific and positively described.

Measurable
A goal achievement should be measurable.

Attainable
It should be attractive for the team to reach the goal.

Realistic
The objective needs to be achievable in a realistic way.

Timebound
The objective has to be set within a time frame.

Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Marketing Objectives Sample targets


Economic marketing j objectives
Close connection to general economic company objectives
revenue / profitability profit contribution / Return-on-Investment growth (revenue/sales/profit) rationalizing capacities security (risk distribution) market position /market share

Non-economic marketing j objectives


Connecting to mental processes of buyer (purchase behavior)
customer retention customer satisfaction name recognition attitude (image / sympathie) repurchase rate level of distribution effects of knowledge strength of purchase intention

Additional Sample Metrics

Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Marketing Objectives - Target Pyramid


Objectives are generally set at each level of the pyramid, but it is important that they are inter-connected.

Corporate objectives

Measures such as ROI sit at the corporate level. Objectives would relate to things like Increase in sales, improvement of company image; greater brand awareness Specific objectives related to each area

Marketing objectives

Financial target

Price Communication Distribution policy target target target

PR- objectives

Exhibition objectives

Advertisement objectives

Managing customer data, raise purchase interest, increasing popularity of brand; campaign specfiic objectives

The BCG Matrix is based on the product life cycle theory. The assertion is that you should have both high growth products as well a cash generators. It has 2 dimensions (market share and market growth). The basic ideas is that the bigger the share or the faster the growth the better it is for the company.

BCG Portfolio Matrix (Market Growth / Market Share matrix)

Key
Each circle represents one of the organisations business units. However, this matrix can also be used to evaluate a product portfolio. Size of circle represents the relative size of the business unit in terms of revenue Implications: Stars: Fund so they can continue to grow Question marks: Review further investment or sell? Cash Cows: Milk funds to invest in more promising opportunities Dogs: Sell, abandon, or reposition for niche opportunities Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology

Subjective measurements across SBUs Process also highly subjective - from the selection and weighting of factors to the subsequent development of both a firms position and the market attractiveness Businesses may have been evaluated with respect to different criteria Sensitive to how a product market is defined

Competitive Strategy Michael Porter


Generic Competitive Strategies

Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology CRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Competitive Strategy
Risks of the Generic Strategies
Risks of Cost Leadership
Cost leadership is not sustained competitors imitate technology changes other bases for cost leadership erode Proximity in differentiation is lost

Risks of Differentiation
Differentiation is not sustained competitors imitate bases for differentiation become less important for buyers

Risks of Focus
The focus strategy is imitated The target segment becomes structurally unattractive structure erodes demand disappear Broadly targeted competitors overwhelm the segment the segments differences from other segments narrow the advantages of a broad line increase New focusers sub segment the industry

Cost proximity is lost

Cost focusers achieve even lower cost in segments

Differentiation focusers achieve even greater differentiation in segments

Dr Margot Wood

Tracy and Wiersemas Value Discipline Model


This model reflects Porters three basic strategy concepts of cost leadership, segmentation strategy and differentiation strategy. Tracey and Wiersema extend them into value disciplines. The primary difference between Porters work and the value discipline model is that Tracey and Wiersema deepened the focus on the customer relationship by defining the Customer Intimacy value discipline. Porters focus was market-focussed, Tracey and Wiersema shifted to a customer focus.
Source: The Tracey & Wiersema Value Discipline Model Part 1

Disciplines
Operational excellence: deliver products smoothly, reliably (e.g., Fandango,
TurboTax)

Product leadership: excellent quality; innovation (e.g., Apple, BMW) Customer intimacy: knowledge of customer needs (e.g., Amazon, Facebook)
