● COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE - when a
firm implements a strategy that creates superior value for customers; competitors are unable to
duplicate it or find too costly to imitate it

● ABOVE-AVERAGE RETURNS - returns
in excess of what an investor expects to earn
from other investments with a similar amount of risk

●Enjoyed considerable success early on
●Tried to enrich its traditional approach with more
marketing and more attractive stores, demonstrating
a lack of market understanding
● Declining book sales for large chain store retailers
● Should have been entrepreneurial, innovative, and market-oriented

THE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
PROCESS
■ FIRST: External environment and internal
organization are analyzed to determine resources, capabilities, and core competencies—the sources of “strategic inputs.”
■ NEXT: Vision and mission are developed; strategies are formulated.
■ THEN: Strategies are implemented with the goal of achieving strategic competitiveness and above-average returns
changing markets and industry conditions must match evolving strategic inputs.

■ General Electric owns 49 percent of NBC Universal and Comcast owns the remaining 51 percent
■ STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PROCESS - effective use
of the strategic management process reduces the likelihood of failure for firms as they encounter the conditions of today’s competitive landscape

THE COMPETITIVE
LANDSCAPE
THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
■ Hypercompetitive business environment
challenges firms to reconsider which markets to
compete in; this positioning is more critical than ever
■ GE - headquartered in the U.S., yet up to 60% of
its revenue growth through 2015 will be generated from rapidly developing economies such as China and India
■ Jeffrey Immelt - suggests that we have entered a
new economic era in which the global economy will
be more volatile and emerging economies such as Brazil, China, and India will be the major drivers of growth

Technology Diffusion - Category
1
■ Technology Diffusion – the speed at which new technologies become available and are used; has increased substantially over the past 15 to 20 year
■ Examples of technology diffusion: How long it
took to get the following into 25 percent of U.S

Technology Diffusion - Category 1
Perpetual Innovation
■ Perpetual Innovation - describes how rapidly and consistently new, information-intensive technologies replace older ones
■ Competitive Premium - the shorter product life
cycles resulting from rapid diffusions of new
technologies place a competitive premium on being able to quickly introduce new, innovative goods and services
■ Competitive Advantage - speed to market with
innovative products is a primary source of competitive advantage

permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use
Technology Diffusion - Category 1
Perpetual Innovation
■ Innovations must be derived from an understanding
of global standards and global expectations in terms of product functionality
■ Apple - an excellent example of radical innovation
by a large established firm
■ Technology Diffusion - to diffuse the technology
and enhance the innovation value, firms need to be
innovative in incorporating the new technology into their product

Technology Diffusion - Category 1
Perpetual Innovation
■ Rapid Technology Diffusion - now may take only 12
to 18 months for firms to gather information about
research and development and product decisions for their competitors
■ Patents - may be an effective protection of proprietary technology in a small number of industries, e.g.,
pharmaceuticals
■ Proprietary Strategies - many firms often do not apply for patents to prevent competitors from gaining access to the technological knowledge included in the patent
application, e.g., the electronics industry

Technology Diffusion - Category 1
■ Examples: iPods, iPads, WiFi, and the browser
■ Industry Incumbents Harmed or Destroyed – a
disruptive or radical technology creates a new industry, thereby destroying the existing industry; with superior
resources, experience, and access to the new technology, some incumbents may be able to adapt

Technology and Innovation
Strategic Focus: Apple
■ Apple’s “legendary” market power, phenomenal growth rate, and impressive financial performance stem from its new technology development and innovation
■ Imitators - Apple is expected to retain at least 80% of the tablet computer market even with the many imitative products on the market
■ International- Apple’s stores in China handle 40,000 people daily, four times the average flow of U.S

Technology and Innovation
Strategic Focus: Apple
■ Versatility - Apple provides an example of technological entrepreneurship across multiple industries
■ Disruptive Technologies
● Innovation and industry transformation, e.g., iPod,
iPad, and the iPhone
● iPod and the complementary iTunes have
revolutionized how music is sold and used by consumers
● iPad, in conjunction with Amazon’s Kindle, is changing the publishing industry; moving to electronic books

The Information Age - Category 2
■ Dramatic Changes - in information technology have
occurred in recent years, e.g., personal computers, cellular phones, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, massive
databases, and multiple social networking sites
■ Competitive Advantage - the ability to effectively and efficiently access and use information has become an
important source of competitive advantage in virtually all industries
■ Information Technology - enables small firms to be
flexible and competitive in the global arena

The Information Age - Category 2
■ Change - both the pace of change in information technology and its diffusion will continue to increase
■ Cost - the declining costs of information
technologies and the increased accessibility to them are evident in the current competitive landscape
■ Internet - contributing factor to hypercompetition
■ Speed and Diffusion - the global proliferation of computers increases the speed and diffusion of
information technologies and enables a level playing field

■ Intangible Resource – knowledge gained through
experience, observation, and inference is an intangible resource; the value of intangible resources is growing as
a proportion of total shareholder value

Category 3
■ Knowledge Spillovers - knowledge falls into
competitor’s hands, e.g., hiring of professional
staff/managers by competitors
■ Knowledge Diffusion - because of the potential for spillovers, firms must act quickly to use their knowledge
in productive ways
■ Strategic Flexibility - facilitates knowledge diffusion
to where it has value

STRATEGIC FLEXIBILITY
■ Set of capabilities used to respond to various

is an analytical tool used to help firms find the industry that is the most attractive, as measured by its profitability potential
an industry’s profitability (i.e., its rate of return on invested capital relative to its cost of capital) is a function of interactions among the Five Forces: suppliers, buyers, rivalry, product substitutes, and potential entrants to the industry.
