9.1 NATURE OF STRATEGY EVALUATION
Strategy evaluation is vital to an organizationswell-being;
timely evaluations can alert management to problems or
potential problems before a situation becomes critical.Strategy evaluation includes three basic activities:
a. Examining the underlying bases of A firmsstrategy.
b. Comparing expected results with actual results.
c. Taking corrective actions to ensure that performance
conforms to plans.

It is impossible to demonstrate conclusively that a
particular strategy is optimal, but it can be evaluated for
critical flaws. As described in Table 9-1, there are fourcriteria to use in evaluating a strategy:
1. Consistency
2. Consonance
3. Feasibility
4. Competitive Advantage

Process of Evaluating Strategies
Strategy evaluation is necessary for all sizes and kinds of
organizations. Strategy evaluation should initiate managerial
questioning of expectations and assumptions, trigger a review
of objectives and values, and stimulate creativity in generatingalternatives and formulating criteria of evaluation.
Evaluating strategies on a continuous rather than a periodic
basis allows benchmarks of progress to be established and
more effectively monitored.
Managers and employees of the firm should continually beaware of progress being made toward achieving the firms
objectives. As critical success factors change, organizational
members should be involved in determining appropriate
corrective actions.9-5

9.2 STRATEGY-EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
Reviewing Bases of Strategy that addresses such questions as the
following:
1. How have competitors reacted to our strategies?
2. How have competitors strategies changed?
3. Have major competitors strengths and weaknesses changed?
4. Why are competitors making certain strategic changes?
5. Why are some competitors strategies more successful than
others?
6. How satisfied are our competitors with their present marketpositions and profitability?
7. How far can our major competitors be pushed before
retaliating?
8. How could we more effectively cooperate with our competitors?

Numerous external and internal factors can prevent
firms from achieving long-term and annual objectives.
External opportunities and threats and internalstrengths and weaknesses that represent the bases of
current strategies should continually be monitored for
change. Here are some key questions to address in
evaluating strategies:

Key Questions to Address in Evaluating Strategies
1. Are our internal strengths still strengths?2. Have we added other internal strengths? If so, what are
they?
3. Are our internal weaknesses still weaknesses?
4. Do we now have other internal weaknesses? If so, whatare they?
5. Are our external opportunities still opportunities?6. Are there now other external opportunities? If so, what are
they?
7. Are our external threats still threats?8. Are there now other external threats? If so, what are they?9. Are we vulnerable to a hostile takeover?

Measuring Organizational Performance
It involves comparing expected results to actual results,
investigating deviations from plans, evaluating individual
performance, and examining progress being made toward
meeting stated objectives. Both long-term and annual
objectives are commonly used in this process.Strategists use common quantitative criteria to make three
critical comparisons:
1. Comparing the firms performance over different time
periods.2. Comparing the firmsperformance to competitors.3. Comparing the firmsperformance to industry averages.

Problems with Quantitative
Criteria
Most quantitative criteria are geared to
annual objectives rather than long-term
objectives
Different accounting methods can provide
different resultson many quantitative
criteria
Intuitive judgments are almost always
involved in derivingquantitative criteria

9.3 Balanced Scorecard
The balanced scorecard allows firms to evaluate strategies
from four perspectives: financial performance, customer
knowledge, internal business processes, and learning and
growth. The balanced scorecard analysis requires that
firms seek answers to the following questions: How well is the firm continually improving and
creating value along measures such as innovation,
technological leadership, product quality, operational
process efficiencies, etc.? How well is the firm sustaining and even improving
upon its core competencies and competitive
advantages?
How satisfied are the firmscustomers? 9-12

9.4 Characteristics of an Effective
Evaluation System
Strategy evaluation must meet several basic requirements to be
effective.
1. Strategy-evaluation activities must be economical; too much
information can be just as bad as too little information. Strategy-
evaluation activities should also be meaningful; they shouldspecifically relate to a firmsobjectives.
2. Strategy-evaluation activities should provide timely information;
on occasion and in some areas, managers may need
information daily.
3. Strategy evaluation should be designed to provide a true pictureof what is happening.
4. The strategy-evaluation process should not dominate decisions;
it should foster mutual understanding, trust, and common
sense.

9.5 Contingency Planning
Contingency plans can be defined as
alternative plans that can be put into
effect if certain key events do not occur
as expected.
A basic premise of good strategic
management is that firms plan ways to
deal with unfavorable and favorable
events before they occur.

Auditors examine the financial statement of firms to
determine whether they have been prepared according
to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
and whether they fairly represent the activities of the
firm.
Independent auditors use a set of standards called
generally accepted accounting standards (GAAS).

Twenty-First-Century Challenges
in Strategic Management
Deciding whether the process should be
more an art or a science
Deciding whether strategies should bevisible or hidden from stakeholders
