Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 2
IDENTIFYING THE TARGET Japanese present in or dominate most product categories in
consumer electronics
In less than 20 years Canon, Hitachi, Seiko and Honda have established world wide reputation equal to those of Ford, Kodak and Nestle
Strategic intent prevalent among global competitors– Building a global presence – Defending a Domestic Position– Overcoming national fragmentation
World Television Industry Japanese- global presence US (RCA, GE and Zenith) - Defending domestic dominance Europe (Philips, CSF Thomson) - overcoming national
fragmentation
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 3
IDENTIFYIG THE TARGET
Contd….
Loose Bricks - In US Japanese Strategy
- late 1960s - established brand dominance in small screen and portable televisions ignored by US producers
– 1967 - Largest producer of B&W TVs– 1970 - Closed the gap in colour sets– Labour and scale advantages– Labour cost change - as economies develop and exchange rate
fluctuates. Low cost manufacturing location shifting - Japan to Korea - to
Singapore - Taiwan Created strong distribution positions and brand franchises Evolved into low-cost sourcing to world scale volume and world
wide brand positions across the spectrum of consumer electronics products.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 4
IDENTIFYIG THE TARGET
Contd….
US Producers Believed that Japanese did well due to low cost high quality
systems. Vulnerable as did not understand the changing nature of
Japanese competitive advantage. Did not have presence outside US, so they had to fight every
market share battle in US. Reduced prices at home affected 100% of their sales volume
but for Matsushita it was only a fraction.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 5
IDENTIFYIG THE TARGET
Contd….
Loose Bricks in Europe Philips well known everywhere in the world international
distribution system, but has own problems 1970 Restriction in Europe on TV sets manufacturing -
Japanese supplied picture tubes. Sony, Matsushita and Mitsubishi set up local manufacturing
operations in UK. Toshiba and Hitachi found UK partners. They had to pay price penalties in moving assembly from Far
East to Europe for establishing European distribution and brand positions.
Found a loose brick in small screen portables, and picture tubes in Europe
European market was more fragmented.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 6
IDENTIFYIG THE TARGET
Contd….
Nearly 3 million of total European market in 1976 Philips was the only one could fund the automation of manufacturing and rationalization of product lines. However, its tube manufacturing spread over seven European countries.
By 1982 Philips was world’s largest colour TV maker and closed the cost gap with Japanese.
Philips operated through national markets, country managers are poorly placed to assess global vulnerability. Philips risk responding on a local basis to global competition.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 7
GLOBAL STRATEGY
Cross - subsidization and retaliation in – Chemical– Audio– Aircraft engine– Computer
What determined whether competition was global or national:
– International cash flows rather than international product flows– Scale economies– Homogeneous markets
Global Competition– Occurs when companies cross-subsidize national market share
battles in pursuit of global brand and distribution positions.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 8
GLOBAL STRATEGY
Contd…..
Global Businesses– In which the minimum volume required for cost
efficiency is not available in the company’s home market.
Global Companies– Which have distribution systems in key foreign
markets that enable cross-subsidization, international retaliation, and world scale volume.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 9
NEW CONCEPTS
World-wide cost competitiveness - minimum world market share to underwrite the appropriate manufacturing scale and product-development effort.
Retaliation - minimum market share in a particular country to be able to influence the behaviour of key global competitors.
(e.g. 2 to 3% share is too week). Home country vulnerability - competitive risks of national market
share leadership if not accomplished by international distribution. Rather high market share may have opposite effect - support high price levels - foreign competitor come under the price umbrella.
As part of the global strategy distinguish between objectives of – low-cost sourcing– minimum scale– a national profile base– retaliation against a global competitor– benchmarking products and technology in a state-of-the art
market
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 10
NEW CONCEPTS
Contd…..
Product Families Global competition requires a broader corporate concept of
product line- scrutinize all products moving through distribution channels in which its products are sold.
Scope of Operations Cost advantage are less durable than brand and distribution
advantages. Investment in world-scale manufacturing not linked to global
distribution presents untenable risks. Support investment in core technologies
Honda - Engine Technology Automobiles, Motorcycles, Power tillers, Snow-mobiles,
Lawnmowers, Power generators
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 11
NEW CONCEPTS
Contd…..
Resource Allocation SBU Concept
(GE, 3M, HP) Separate manufacturing and marketing subsystems
– Manufacturing local - for global, or– Manufacturing global, marketing local
Global competition strategy - HQ(Strategic mission, timing of launch, level of market share, level of investment, expected cash flow)
Local marketing strategy - National Subsidiary (marketing mix).
Slice the company in many ways– one way for distribution investments– another for technology– another for manufacturing
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 12
GLOBAL INTEGRATION
Global integration contrasts with the multinational approach whereby companies set-up country subsidiaries that design, produce and market products or services tailored to local needs.
Changes supporting global integration:– growing similarity of what citizens of different countries want– reduction in tariff and non-tariff barriers– too expensive technology investments to amortize in one market only– global competitors - rules of the game
Steps for developing global strategy– Developing the core strategy - the basis of sustainable competitive
advantage. Unusually developed for the home country first.– Internationalizing the core strategy- through international expansion of
activities and through adaptation.– Globalizing- the international strategy by integrating the strategy across
countries
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 13
WHAT IS GLOBAL STRATEGY
A multi-domestic strategy seeks to maximize world wide performance by maximizing local competitive advantage, revenues or profits.
A global strategy seeks to maximize world wide performance through sharing and integration.
Global Strategy Forces– Global strategy Levers– Position of Businesses and parent company– Industry globalisation drivers – Organisation’s ability to implant a global strategy– Benefits/costs of global strategy
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 14
Multidomestic and Global Industries
A global industry is one in which competition crosses national borders
A global industry is one in which competition crosses national borders
A multidomestic industry is one in which competition is essentially segmented from
country to country

Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 17
MARKET PARTICIPATION
A pattern of major share in major markets - USA- Europe - Japan “triad”.
Electrolux Group - Swedish
Building significant share in major world markets. Aims to be the first global appliance maker. 1986-acquired Zanussi Industries to become top
producer of appliances in Western Europe. Later the year acquired White Consolidated Industries
the third largest American appliance manufacturer.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 18
PRODUCT OFFERING
Product standardization to a greater or lesser extent. Differing world wide needs can be met by adapting the standardized core product.
Boeing 737 1970 - sales began to level off. Entered developing countries but product did not fit to new
environments Shortness of run ways, greater softness, lower technical
expertise of pilots - planes tend to bounce during landing, the brakes failed.
Modified the design - adding thrust to engines, redesigning wings, landing gear, tires with lower pressure.
These adaptations to core product enabled 737 to be best selling plane in history.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 19
LOCATION OF VALUE ADDED ACTIVITIES
Costs are reduced by breaking up the value chain- so each activity may be conducted in a different country.
One value chain strategy is partial concentration and partial duplication
Electronics Companies Locate part or all of manufacturing in Southeast Asia - low
cost, skilled labour - key component - chip is very cheap US - Japan semi-conductor Agreement - Japanese agreed
not to sell chips in US -> Chips being sold below cost in South East Asia.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 20
Uniform marketing approach around the world- although not all elements of marketing mix be uniform.
Unilever
Great success with a fabric softener that used a– global common positioning– advertising theme– symbol (a teddy bear)
But brand name varied by country
MARKETING APPROACH
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 21
A competitor is attacked in one country in order to drain its resources for another country.
Competitive attack in one country is countered in another country Counter attack in a competitor’s home market as a parry to an
attack on one’s home market.
Bridgestone Corporation - Japanese Tire Action of Major competitors
– Continental AG’s acquisition of GenCorp's General Tire and Rubber Company.
– General Tire’s JV with two Japanese tire makers,– Sumitomo’s acquisition of an intent in Dunlop Tire.
Competitive move– Establish the presence in major US market – Formed a JV to own and manage Firestone Corporation’s world wide tire
business - gained access to Firestone’s European plants.
COMPETITIVE MOVES
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 22
INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION DRIVERS
Market Drivers Homogeneous Customer Needs - Understanding which
aspects can be standardized and which could be customized in the key.
Global customers - buy on a centralized or coordinated basis for decentralized use (e.g. National defence agencies).Having a single global account manager make it easier for global customer for single global price - the lowest price.
Global channels - Global channels are rare - but region wide channels are increasing.(e.g. European grocery distribution and retailing)
Transferable Marketing - Brand names and advertising may be requiring little local adaptation.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 23
INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION DRIVERS
Contd…..
Cost Drivers Economics of Scale and Scope - corresponding risks
are rigidity and vulnerability to disruption.
Electronics Industry Cost of circuits have decreased - advantage goes to
companies that can produce lowest cost components. Size has become a major asset.
Thomson (France) - 1987 increased in operating scale and global coverage by acquiring RCA television business from GE.
Learning and Experience - The steeper the learning and experience curves greater the potential benefit.
Sourcing Efficiencies - Centralized purchasing
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 24
INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION DRIVERS
Contd…..
Himont - Global Polypropylene Market Global coordination among manufacturing facilities in purchase
of key raw material - monomer
Favourable Logistics - A favourable ratio of sales value to transportation cost enhances the ability to concentrate production. Other logistical factors are
– non perishability– absence of time urgency– little need for location close to customer facilities.
Differences in Country Costs and Skills Concentration in low-cost or high-skill countries - increase
productivity and reduce cost. The danger is of training future offshore competitors.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 25
INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION DRIVERS
Contd…..
Volkswagen Hourly Labour cost Germany DM 40
Spain DM 20 Moved production of Polos from Wolfbury to Spain. Product Development Costs - Developing few global or
regional products
Ford Motor Company Centres of Excellence program - to reduce duplication Ford of Europe - Common platform for all compacts Ford of NA - replacement of midsized Taurus and Sable
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 26
INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION DRIVERS
Contd…..
Governmental Drivers Favourable Trade Policies - Import tariffs and quotas, non tariff
barriers, export subsidies, local content requirements, currency and capital flow restrictions, requirements on technology transfer.European Community - Banking and Financial Services
Decision to permit free flow of capital along member countries Deutsche Bank had only 15 offices outside Germany -
established major presence in French market.1987 - moved to Italian market by acquiring Bank of America’s 100 branches.
J.P. Morgan - US, Swiss Bank Corporation and SP Warburg Group - Britain - increased their participation in major European markets.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 27
INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION DRIVERS
Contd…..
Compatible Technical Standards - often standards are set with protectionism in mind (e.g. Motorola - electronics products excluded from Japanese market - operated at a higher frequency than was permitted in Japan).
Common Marketing Regulations - Certain type of media may be prohibited or restricted(e.g. - US is for more liberal than Europe about advertising claims on TV.– British TV do not allow scenes of children pestering their
parents to buy a product).
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 28
INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION DRIVERS
Contd…..
Competitive Drivers Inter dependence of Countries - When activities are shared
among countries a competitor’s market share in one country affects its scale and overall cost position in the shared activities.
(e.g. companies promote product as “the leading brand in US”.)
Automobile Industry Ford and Volkswagen- concentrate production and more
competitive Toyota - pressured to enter more markets to reach the volume.
1984-87 doubled the number of cars for German market.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 29
INDUSTRY GLOBALISATION DRIVERS
Contd…..
Globalized competitors - The need to preempt a global competitor can spur increased market participation.
Unilever - European Consumer Product Launched a hostile take over bid for Richardson - Vicks Inc. Global archrival P&G saw the threat on its home turf and out bid
Unilever. With Richardson - Vicks European system P&G strengthened the
European position.
Changes Over TimeEuropean Major Appliance Industry
Globalisation forces seem to have reversed 1960s and 70s - regional standardization strategy was successful 1980s - the most successful strategies seem to be national
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 30
BENEFITS OF A GLOBAL STRATEGY
Cost Reductions Economies of scale by pooling production or other
activities for two or more countries(Sony - concentrated its CD production in Terre Haute, Indiana, and Saizburg, Austria)
Exploiting lower factor costs by moving manufacturing or other activities to low-cost countries.(Mexican side of the US - Mexico border is crowded with manufacturing plants of US companies using Mexican labour)
Exploiting flexibility(Moving production from location to location on short notice to take advantage of lowest cost at a given time).
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 31
BENEFITS OF A GLOBAL STRATEGYContd…...
Dow Chemical
LP model for best production using by location – exchange rates– tax rates– transportation cost– labour cost
Enhancing bargaining power - can switch production to different location increases bargaining power with suppliers, workers, and host governments.(European labour Union- single European market allow switching production)
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 32
BENEFITS OF A GLOBAL STRATEGYContd…...
Improved Quality of Products and Programs
Toyota Markets a far smaller number of models than GM. Concentrated on improving its few models, while GM
fragmented developmental funds. Toyota Camry in US rated as the best in class of medium - sized
cars. Enhanced Customer Preference
– Through reinforcement(e.g. soft drinks, food companies, financial services - credit cards)
– For industrial products - a multinational customer with a standard product around the world gains from world wide familiarity(e.g. Computer manufacturers)
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 33
BENEFITS OF A GLOBAL STRATEGYContd…...
Increased Competitive Leverage More points from which to attack or counter
attack
Becton Dickinson - US Medical Products To prevent Japanese becoming a competitive
nuisance in disposable syringes - enter three markets in Japan’s backyard to prevent Japanese expansion – Hong kong, Singapore, Philippine
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 34
DRAWBACKS OF GLOBAL STRATEGY
Significant management costs - increased coordination, reporting requirements, added staff.
Earlier or greater commitment to a market than warranted.(American co. - Motorola - penetrate Japan more to enhance global competitiveness position than making money in Japan).
Product standardization may result in a product that does not satisfy any customer.
Procter & Gamble Stumbled - introduced Cheer laundry detergent in Japan without
changing US product or marketing message (the detergent was effective in all temp.)
Two instances of insufficient adaptation – detergent did not suds up as Japanese use a great deal of fabric
softener.– Japanese usually work cloths in cold tap/bath water.
Cheer become successful in Japan - after reformulating the product and marketing messages.
Prof. Sushil\IITD\Session-III(B) 35
DRAWBACKS OF GLOBAL STRATEGY
Contd…..
Canon Sacrificed the ability to copy certain Japanese paper sizes
when it first designed a photocopier for the global market
Activity concentration distances customers and can result in lower responsiveness and flexibility. Also increases currency risk.
Uniform marketing can reduce adaptation to local customer behaviour.

Strategic Orientation of Global Firms
Ethnocentric– Values and priorities of parent organization should
guide strategic decision making of all operations Polycentric
– Culture of company in which strategy is implemented dominates decision making
Regiocentric– Parent firm attempts to blend its own predispositions
with those of region under consideration Geocentric
– Parent firm adopts global systems approach to decision making, emphasizing global integration

The Global Challenge
Few “pure” cases of either global or multidomestic industries exist
The challenge -- global firms must
– Decide which activities will be performed in how many and which locations
– Determine degree to which activities are coordinated across locations
