Ansoff Product-Market Expansion Grid Existing Markets Existing Products Market Penetration New Products Product Development New Markets Market Development Diversification Strategy: Porter s Five Forces Model Potential Entrants Threat of new entrants Suppliers Bargaining power of suppliers Industry Competitors Bargaining power of customers Customers Rivalry among existing firms Substitutes Threat of substitute offerings Porter s Five Forces Model - Each Force is a Threat 16
Existing Rivalry More Intense If: Numerous or equally balanced competitors Slow industry growth High fixed costs Low customer loyalties or switching costs Added capacity comes in large increments Diverse competitors High strategic stakes High exit barriers Specialized assets, emotional barriers, government and social restrictions (e.g., concerns for job losses, etc) Threat of New Entry Barriers to entry Economies of scale Brand loyalties Capital requirements Switching costs independent of loyalties Access to distribution Cost disadvantages independent of scale Market Attractiveness 17
Expected Reactions of Firms Conditions that signal strong retaliation Firms with history of retaliation to entrants Firms with substantial resources Cash and unused debt and/or equity capacity Excess productive capacity High leverage with channels or customers Firms with commitment to industry and high levels of idiosyncratic assets employed in it Slow industry growth The Entry Deterring Price Structure of prices that just balances... the potential rewards from entry that are forecast by the potential entrant with the expected costs of overcoming structural barriers to entry and costs of retaliation If prevailing prices exceed the entry deterring price, entry will occur 18
Bargaining Power of Customers Customers compete for lower prices Customers tend to be powerful when They represent a large portion of the firm s sales Offerings represent large portion of their expenditures Offerings are undifferentiated Switching costs are low They pose a credible threat of backward integration Quality of offerings is not important to them They have full information Big customers are attractive and dangerous (e.g., Walmart) Bargaining Power of Suppliers Suppliers compete with the industry by trying to force costs higher Suppliers tend to be powerful when They are concentrated There are few substitutes to their offerings The industry is not an important customer of theirs Their offerings are important inputs to the firm s Their offerings are differentiated or there are high switching costs They pose a credible threat of forward integration They have full information 19
Customer or Competitor Orientation? Focus on competitors: Aggressive and alert for changes Focus on customers: Align resources to customer needs Which is better? Which is more common? Porter s 4 Generic Business Strategies Source of Competitive Advantage Lower Cost Differentiation Competitive Scope Broad Target Cost Leadership Differentiation Narrow Target Cost Focus Differentiation Focus 20
Market Life Cycle High Price Low *Product/Market expansion *Competitive activity *Knowledgeable customers *Selected products / selected markets *Problem solving emphasis *Customer needs knowledge *Product/market proliferation *Market volatility *Aggressive customer Low Cost-to-serve High Changing the players Bring in customers - Increase industry demand. Educate consumers about your product Pay customers (esp. early adopters) Subsidize some customers, other full paying customers will follow (Initial discount to lower risk) Become your own customer Bring in suppliers Bring in complementors Do it yourself. Encourage complementors to come (Banking) Bring in competitors License technology to make money, avoid complacency Create a second source to encourage buyers to adopt technology 21
Changing the added value Limit your supply DeBeers and diamonds Raise amount consumers are willing to pay Policies that build loyalty (frequent flier miles) increase willingness to pay - GM / Ford credit cards; Intuit Lower competitors value Questions to ask: What is your added value? How can you increase value by changing supply, buyers, suppliers, complementors, or substitutorsin your value net? What is the value added by other players? Should you be increasing or decreasing their added values? Changing the rules Questions to ask are: Which rules are helping you? Which ones are hurting you? Rules can be for pricing, advertising, product variety, satisfaction, etc. What kinds of contracts are you willing to write with your buyers and suppliers? Do you want Match Competition Clauses? What does this do for you? Do you have the power to change the rules? Does someone else have the power to overturn them? Can you signal your commitment credibly 22
Changing tactics Questions to ask are: How do other players perceive the game? How do these perceptions affect the play of the game? Which perception do you want to keep, which to change? Do you want the game to be transparent or opaque? When do you want to send signals that benefit you? When do you want to preserve the fog? To establish credibility (clear the fog) Accept a pay-for-performance contract Offer guarantees or advertise Ask others to demonstrate their credibility to you To preserve the fog Create complexity (long distance calling rates) Bluff: Ask yourself whether you will be believed and under what circumstances Ask what others stand to gain by preserving the fog, and what they could be bluffing about Changing tactics Competitive stances that can be used to clear / add to the fog Appear Tough Appear Soft Being Big Top Dog Fat Cat Being Small Lean & Hungry Puppy Dog 23
The Strategy Game Fishbowl. This exercise brings everybody with an ax to grind on a given issue together in one room, with advocates of certain points of view in the center of the Red team / blue team. assign managers to teams representing major competitors and have them plan the strategies they would use to beat us. Future mapping. This is a fancy name for a way of looking at different scenarios for the future. We look at several alternative futures, or "end states," for our business, assign a probability to each one, and identify the forces that will determine whether that scenario will happen. Strategic objectives for share leaders Typically the pioneer or initial entrant Share maintenance objectives Retain current customers by: Maintaining and improving loyalty Encourage / simplify repeat purchase Reduce attractiveness of switching Stimulate selective demand among later adopters Head-to-head positioning against competition Differential positioning against competition 24

Who should a follower attack? Attack the share leader within its primary target market Most to lose, but also most likely to retaliate - in a few geographic markets?
