the environment.° Has close associations with budgeting (early 1990s),

long-range planning (1950s), and strategic planning (1960s), and is developed since mid 1980s.

° A proactive, reactive, and futuristic management process.

Importance of strategic thinking in Nepal Strategic management aims at bringing in

system thinking practices in business whereas Nepal is yet to establish its national constitution.

Strategic management provides with external, proactive view of managing institutions, whereas most of the Nepalese institutions are yet to be managed with specific norms and operating standards.

Strategic management aims to provide inputs on how to compete in competitive environment, whereas Nepalese institutions are yet to understand the value of competing in business.

Most essential in every sector.

Some Strategic Challenges to Managers:° Management has a distinctive and farsighted view,

rather than a conventional and reactive view, about the future.

° Senior management focuses regenerating core strategies rather than reengineering core processes.

° Competitors view the company as a rule maker rather than a rule follower.

° The company’s strength is on innovation and growth rather than on operational efficiency.

° The company is mostly out in front rather than catching up.

Needs/Importance of Strategic Management

Despite the involvement of high cost, strategic management has the potential to:

• Precipitate the concept of strategic choices,• Force a long-range view,• Make visible the resources allocation decision,• Aid strategic analysis and decision making,• Provide a strategic management and control

system, • Provide both horizontal and vertical

communication and coordination systems, and• Help a business cope with changes.

SCENARIO ANALYSIS

Scenario Analysis can be divided into four elements:

• Identify Scenarios

• Develop Scenario Strategies

• Estimate Scenario Probabilities

• Perform Regret Analysis

Page 40: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 40

1. Identify Scenarios

It is important to reduce the number of scenarios by identifying a small set that ideally includes those that are plausible/credible and those that represent departures from the present that are substantial enough to affect strategy development.

2. Develop Scenario Strategies

After scenarios have been identified, the next step is to relate them to strategies – both existing strategies and new options.

Page 41: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 41

3. Estimate Scenario Probabilities

¤ To evaluate alternative strategies it is useful to

determine the scenario probabilities.

¤ Experts could be asked to assess probabilities directly.

4. Perform Regret AnalysisThe final step is to compare the expected outcomes

of each strategy if the wrong scenario emerges.

Page 42: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 42

Forecasting Environmental Trends and Events

• Asking the Right Questions

• Trend Extrapolation

• Asking Experts

• Decomposing the Task

• Cross-Impact Analysis

Page 43: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 43

Strategic Uncertainty

¤ Strategic Uncertainty may result from a typical external analysis or sometimes the strategic uncertainty is represented by a future trend or event that has inherent unpredictability.

¤ To deal with strategic uncertainty, impact analysis and scenario analysis can be employed.

Page 44: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 44

Impact Analysis

¤ The extent to which a strategic uncertainty should be monitored and analyzed depends on its impact and immediacy.

¤ The impact of a strategic uncertainty is related to:

* The extent to which it will impact existing or

potential SBUs (strategic business units)

* The importance of the involved SBUs

* The number of involved SBUs.

Page 45: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 45

Impact Analysis contd . . .

• The immediacy of a strategic uncertainty is related to

- The probability that the involved trends or events will occur.

- The time frame of the trends or events.

- The reaction time likely to be available, compared with the time required to develop and implement appropriate strategy

Page 46: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 46

Managing Strategic Uncertainties If both the immediacy and impact are low, then a

low level of monitoring may be appropriate.If the impact is thought to be low but the

immediacy is high, then monitoring and analysis may be appropriate.

If the immediacy is low and the impact high, then monitoring and analysis in more depth and contingent strategies may be considered.

When both the immediacy and potential impact of the underlying trends and events are high, then an in-depth analysis will be appropriate, as will be the development of reaction plans or strategies.

The Threat of Entry ...

Dependent on barriers to entry such as:

• Economies of scale

• Capital requirements of entry

• Access to distribution channels

• Cost advantages independent of size (eg the

“experience curve”)

• Expected retaliation

• Legislation or government action

• Differentiation

Page 50: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 50

Buyer power is likely to be high when:

• There is a concentration of buyers

• There are many small operators in the supplying industry

• There are alternative sources of supply

• Components or materials are a high percentage of cost to the buyer leading to “shopping around”

• Switching costs are low

• There is a threat of backward integration

Page 51: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 51

Supplier power is high when:

• There is a concentration of suppliers

• Switching costs are high

• The supplier brand is powerful

• Integration forward by the supplier is possible

• Customers are fragmented and bargaining power low

Page 52: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 52

Threat of Substitutes

Substitutes take different for:

• Substitution of need

• Generic substitution

• Doing without

Page 53: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 53

Competitive rivalry is high when:• Entry is likely• Substitutes threaten• Buyers or suppliers exercise control• Competitors are in balance• There is slow market growth• Global customers increase competition• There are high fixed costs in an industry• Markets are undifferentiated• There are high exit barriers

Five Forces Analysis: Key Questions and Implications

• What are the key forces at work in the competitive environment?

• Are there underlying forces driving competitive forces?

• Will competitive forces change?

• What are the strengths and weaknesses of competitors in relation to the competitive forces?

• Can competitive strategy influence competitive forces (eg by building barriers to entry or reducing competitive rivalry)?

Why Do Companies Fail?

What went wrong?– Inertia (resistant to change)

– Prior strategic commitments

– The icarus paradox

Avoiding failure and sustaining competitive advantage:– Focus on the building blocks of

competitive advantage.

– Institute continuous improvement and learning.

– Track best industrial practice and use benchmarking.

– Overcome inertia.

Shareholder Value AnalysisHow competent the firm is to create various values to shareholders

Key values to the shareholder are:1. Profit maximization, and 1. Profit maximization, and 2. Increment of worth of the share per unit2. Increment of worth of the share per unit

Other important values to the shareholders may beBusiness/product diversificationGoodwillBrand recognition, and so on ….

Competitive Advantage: Value Creation, Low Cost, and Differentiation

• Competitive advantage is a firm’s ability to outperform its competitors (earn higher profits).

• The source of competitive advantage is value creation for customers.

• Sustained competitive advantage comes from maintaining higher profits than competitors over long periods of time.

• Sustained competitive advantage leads to higher shareholder value.

Performance Measurement - Beyond Profitability

Some Indicators

1. Customer satisfaction and brand loyalty

2. Product service quality

3. Brand and firm associations

4. Relative costs

5. New product activity

6. Manager/employee capability and performance

Page 65: Strategic management for tu mbs

Performance Measurement Beyond Profitability

It is very important to develop performance indicators that convincingly represent the long term prospect.

Customer satisfaction/brand loyalty are the keys

It indicates how customers really feel about the firm.

Page 66: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 66

Guidelines for measuring satisfaction and loyalty

problems and causes of dissatisfaction should be identified

exit interviews should be taken

size and intensity of the customer group that truly likes a brand should be known.

measures should be tracked

Performance Measurement Beyond Profitability

Page 67: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 67

Product and service quality

how good a value it is?

can it really deliver superior performance?

how does it compare with competitor offerings?

how will it compare with competitor offerings in the future give competitive innovations?

Performance Measurement Beyond Profitability

Page 68: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 68

performance measurement

• brand/firm associations what are its associations? what is the perceived quality?

• relative cost

• average costing in average costing some elements of fixed or semi

variable costs are not carefully allocated but instead are averaged over total production

Page 69: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 69

performance measurement

• new product activity

• manager/employee capability and performance

human factor is very important as they are the ones who implement the strategies

does the human resource support the current and future strategies?

does new employees match the needs of the organization?

Generic Building Blocks of Competitive Advantage

Page 71: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 71

Generic Building Blocks of Competitive Advantage: Efficiency

Efficiency = Outputs/Inputs

For many firms, EE productivity is key (output per employee)

Increased efficiency requires strategy, structure and controls (and a strong functional production or operations program)

Efficiency is “critical” for cost leaders (eg. Wal-Mart) but still very important for others

Page 72: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 72

Competitive Advantage: Customer Responsiveness• Superior Customer Responsiveness is a function

of:

Quality, and

Innovation in design, service, etc.

• Often measured by:

Response time, and

Adaptability

Page 73: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 73

Competitive Advantages: Innovation• Perhaps the most important building block of

competitive advantage: may drive greater innovation leading to higher prices via differentiation or simply better processes leading to lower costs.

• Companies can’t afford to sit still

• Innovation includes advances in products, processes, management systems, organizational structure, strategies, etc

Page 74: Strategic management for tu mbs

April 11, 2023 [email protected]:9851105671 74

Competitive Advantage: Quality• Quality drives profits in two ways:

Increased reliability which leads to higher prices due to perceived higher quality

Increased productivity due to lower re-work, returns and rejection rates leading to lower costs (zero defects)

• Higher prices plus lower costs means more profits
