competitive threats By focusing activities across all functional
departments on meeting those needs and threats effectively

2-182-18
Corporate ObjectivesThe marketing implications of corporate
objectives: Most organizations pursue multiple objectives
Trying to achieve many objectives at once leads to conflicts and trade-offsManagers can reconcile conflicting goals by
prioritizing themAnother approach is to state one of the
conflicting goals as a constraint or hurdle
2-192-19
Corporate Sources of Competitive AdvantageA sustainable competitive advantage at the
corporate level is based on company resources - resources that other firms do not have, that take a long time to develop, and that are hard to acquire
2-202-20
Corporate Growth StrategiesA firm can go in two major directions in
seeking future growthExpansion of its current businesses and
activitiesDiversification into new businesses, either
through internal business development or acquisition
2-212-21
Exhibit 2.9 - Alternative Corporate Growth Strategies
2-222-22
Corporate Growth StrategiesExpansion by increasing penetration of
current product-marketsExpansion by developing new products for
current customersExpansion by selling existing products to new
segments or countries
2-232-23
Corporate Growth StrategiesExpansion by diversifying:
Vertical integration Forward vertical integration occurs when a firm
moves downstream in terms of the product flow Backward integration occurs when a firm moves
upstream by acquiring a supplierRelated (or concentric) diversification Unrelated (or conglomerate) diversification
2-242-24
Allocating Corporate ResourcesTo exploit the advantages of diversification
Corporate managers must make intelligent decisions about how to allocate financial and human resources across the firm’s various businesses and product-markets
Two sets of analytical tools have proven useful in making such decisionsPortfolio models Value-based planning
2-252-25
Portfolio ModelsEnable managers to classify and review their
current and prospective businesses by viewing them as portfolios of investment opportunities and then evaluating each business’s competitive strength and the attractiveness of the markets it servesThe Boston Consulting Group’s (BCG) growth-
share matrix
2-262-26
Exhibit 2.10 - BCG’s Market Growth Relative Share Matrix
2-272-27
Exhibit 2.11 - Cash Flows across Businesses in The BCG Portfolio Model
2-282-28
Limitations of the Growth-Share MatrixMarket growth rate is an inadequate descriptor of
overall industry attractivenessRelative market share is inadequate as a
description of overall competitive strengthThe outcomes are highly sensitive to variations in
how growth and share are measuredIt provides little guidance on how best to
implement investment strategies for each businessIt assumes that all business units are independent
of one another except for the flow of cash
2-292-29
Value-Based PlanningA resource allocation tool that attempts to
address such questions by assessing the shareholder value a given strategy is likely to createEconomic value added: The amount of
return a strategy or operating program generates in excess of the cost of capital
Discounted cash flow model
2-302-30
Exhibit 2.12 - Factors Affecting the Creation of Shareholder Value
2-312-31
Value-Based PlanningSome limitations of value-based planning
It is not a substitute for strategic planning Good forecasts that are critical to the validity
of value-based planning are difficult to make There are natural human tendencies to overvalue
the financial projections associated with some strategy alternatives and to undervalue others
Value-based planning can only evaluate alternatives, but it cannot create them
2-322-32
Sources of SynergyKnowledge-based synergies
Performance enhancement through transfer of competencies, knowledge, or customer-related intangibles from other units within the firm
Corporate identity and the corporate brandCorporate identity flows from the
communications, impressions, and personality projected by an organization
2-332-33
The Marketing Implications of Business-unit Strategy DecisionsStrategic business units: Components of a
firm engaged in multiple industries or businesses
Steps in developing business-level strategiesDeciding how to divide into SBUsManagers must recommend:
The unit’s objectives The scope of its target customers and offerings Which broad competitive strategy to pursue How resources should be allocated
2-342-34
How Should Strategic Business UnitsBe Designed?Characteristics of strategic business units
A homogeneous set of markets to serve with a limited number of related technologies
A unique set of product-marketsControl over those factors necessary for
successful performanceResponsibility for their own profitability
2-352-35
How Should Strategic Business UnitsBe Designed?Dimensions that define the scope and mission
of the entire corporation also define individual SBUsTechnical compatibilitySimilarity in the customer needsSimilarity in the personal characteristics
2-362-36
The Business Unit’s ObjectivesCorporate objectives typically broken
down into subobjectives for each SBUBreaking down an SBU’s objectives into
subobjectives for each of its productmarket entries is often a major part of developing business-level strategy
