COURSE METHODOLOGY

I consider you as my active partner in the learning process. I expect you to beprepared to engage in all the learning activities. I look forward to your contributionsto class discussions and toward a positive learning environment.

The course involves the following learning activities: lectures; discussions; videoshowings; case analysis and presentation; and team endeavours (industry studyand presentation, research on best practices in technology commercialisation andthe marketing plan and presentation for a high technology product). Videos areutilized to offer students with additional insights into a particular concept; takestudents on-site to a real business situation; and to hear from real managers.

The course is designed to facilitate learning using the following methods:

1. Team-based approach. Managers in today’s corporations essentially work inteams. You are either current managers or future managers. Thus, you knowthat goals could be achieved more effectively and efficiently through team effort(whether in a corporate environment or a formal educational setting).2. Project approach. There are two comprehensive team outputs required: theindustry study and the marketing plans. These two projects provide you withopportunities to apply what you have learned from the classroom to existingbusiness situations.3. Field-based approach. Aside from the videos that show professionalstackling real managerial issues, the field-based approach will enable you toaugment your classroom learning with research. You will use your researchoutputs for the team projects and the individual current events analysis andpresentation.

THE INDUSTRY STUDY AND PRESENTATION

Introduction. Each group will analyze a Philippine industry categorized astechnology intensive and present their study on dates stated in the course schedule.An industry is defined as a group of firms producing similar products or services.Please make sure that you get my approval of your choice of industry before youstart work on this endeavor.

Objectives. The objectives of the exercise are:

• To provide a clear linkage between on the one hand, concepts andframeworks discussed in class, and on the other hand, industry applications;

• To familiarize the students with various high-technology industries andcompanies, and provide real-world examples of class concepts; and

• To provide students with an opportunity to scan and analyze the taskenvironment of a local industry.

• To provide students with opportunities to further hone their research, writing,presenting and project management skills.

Major Issues. You are advised to refer also to any Strategic Management textbook (preferably a 2005 or 2006 edition). The industry analysis should cover thefollowing key areas:

1. Industrial Structure. This portion requires you to gather data on andconduct an analysis of:• The number of firms that compete in the industry;• The degree of concentration within the industry. Is the industry

dominated by a few very large firms (heavily concentrated) or is it made up of a large number of firms none of whom have adominant position within the industry?

• The average or typical size of the firms in each of theindustries as measured by sales volume.

• The average profitability of the members of each of theindustries measured by the profit-to-sales ratio.

• Information on the relative capital or labour intensity of the firms.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tm206-cs-1st-sem-sy-2011-12 14/25

2. Industry Value Chain (determine the industry groups needed to take aproduct from its raw material state to a final product in demand by a finalconsumer; analyse where in the chain market power resides and why?)and Forces driving industry competition (Use Michael Porter’s approach).

3. Macro-environmental trends. This portion requires you to discuss andanalyse the impact on the industry of the following factors (in case theindustry competes in overseas markets, your analysis should have acorresponding dimension):• Social, cultural, demographic and environmental forces;• Political, governmental and legal forces;• Technological forces; and• Economic forces.

4. Market segments. In this portion, discuss the industry’s various marketsegments and their corresponding customer buying characteristics;

products and existing and emerging technologies.5. Opportunities and Threats to the Industry.

Key Questions . The following key questions should be answered:1. Is the industry growing? Growth is measured by sales volume, number of

employees, units produced, number of new companies entering theindustry, and so forth.

2. Where are the opportunities? Does the industry provide opportunities for new businesses with strategies involving new products and/or processes,

innovative distribution, or new marketing strategies?3. What is the status of any new technology? How quickly does the industryadopt new technology, and does technology play a significant role in thecompetitive strategy of firms in the industry?

4. How much does the industry spend on research and development?Expenditures on R&D will tell you how important technology is, how muchyou will need to spend, and how rapid the product development cycle is.

5. Who are the major competitors? Which firms dominate the industry?6. Are there young, successful firms in the industry? This will give you an

indication of how formidable the entry barriers are and whether or not theindustry is growing rapidly.

7. What does the future look like? What appears likely to happen over the

next five years? What are the trends and patterns of change?8. Are there any threats to the industry? Is there any chance that newtechnology will render obsolete either the industry or that segment of theindustry in which you’re doing business?

9. What are the typical margins in the industry? Looking at gross margins inthe industry gives you an indication of how much room there is to makemistakes.

Guidelines for Preparing and Presenting the Marketing Plan

Introduction. The Marketing Plan is another group effort. You will work with thesame team members in the industry study activity. Your job is to formulate amarketing plan for a high technology offering.

You have two options. You can do a marketing plan for a new product for acompany and or for a new product based on a DOST developed technology.Please make sure that you seek my approval first before embarking on the groupproject.

If you will do one marketing plan for a new product of a company, you will assumethe role of a product development team of an established company. The other project requires you to assume the role of entrepreneurs who will source their technologies from those developed by advanced science and technologyresearchers of the DOST. Access to sufficient information is crucial for thesuccessful completion of this project. If you are confident of securing access to dataand information about a high-tech product from a firm, then go for it.

If you collaborate with a private firm, you will most probably find that they alreadyhave a marketing plan for their high-tech product. In that case, your marketing planshould embody the improvements necessary to enhance the product’s performancein the market.

The marketing plan (whether in collaboration with a private firm and/or a DOSTagency) should highlight the linkage between concepts discussed in class and realworld situation.

Objectives. The objectives of the exercise are:

• To provide a clear linkage between on the one hand, concepts andframeworks discussed in class, and on the other hand, industry applications;

• To reinforce student’s learning through the formulation of a marketing planfor a high-tech product; and

• To provide students with opportunities to further hone their research, writing,collaboration and project management skills.

Marketing Plan Format . Please refer to Appendix A of Kerrin’s book. Kindly followthe format suggested (elements of the plan).

Grading. Your grade will be determined by the following:

• Thoroughness and insightful analysis of primary and secondary data (in theevaluation of the internal and external environment and the discussion of markets and customers) (30%);

• Identification and discussion of critical issues with regard to theproduct/technology offering (you must tie analysis with class concepts) (30%)

• Internal consistency of the Marketing Strategy and the latter’sappropriateness to the situational analysis (30%)

• Organization and Clarity (10%)
