trategy analysis and choice largely involve making subjective decisions based on objective information This chapter introduces important concepts that can help strategists generate feasible alternatives, evaluate those alternatives, and choose a specific course of action Behavioral aspects of strategy formulation are described, including politics, culture, ethics, and social responsibility considerations Modern tools for formulating strategies are described, and the appropriate role of a board of directors is discussed As showcased below, Unilever is an example company pursuing an excellent strategic plan The Nature of Strategy Analysis and Choice As indicated by Figure 8-1 with white shading, this chapter focuses on generating and evaluating alternative strategies, as well as selecting strategies to pursue Strategy analysis and choice seek to determine alternative courses of action that could best enable the firm to achieve its mission and objectives The firm’s present strategies, objectives, vision, and mission, coupled with the external and internal audit information, provide a basis for generating and evaluating feasible alternative strategies This systematic approach is the best way to avoid a crisis Rudin’s Law states: “When a crisis forces choosing among alternatives, most people choose the worst possible one.” Unless a desperate situation confronts the firm, alternative strategies will likely represent incremental steps that move the firm from its present position to a desired future position Alternative strategies not come out of the wild blue yonder; they are derived from the firm’s vision, mission, objectives, external audit, and internal audit; they are consistent with, or build on, past strategies that have worked well The Process of Generating and Selecting Strategies Strategists never consider all feasible alternatives that could benefit the firm because there are an infinite number of possible actions and an infinite number of ways to implement those actions Therefore, a manageable set of the most attractive alternative strategies must be developed The advantages, disadvantages, trade-offs, costs, and benefits of these strategies should be determined This section discusses the process that many firms use to determine an appropriate set Excellent Strategic Management Showcased Unilever Unilever, the world’s third-largest consumer goods company behind Procter & Gamble and Nestle, is an Anglo–Dutch company whose products include foods, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products Unilever is a dual listed company consisting of Unilever N.V based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Unilever PLC based in London – but both companies have the same directors and operate as a single business Some of Unilever’s best selling among its 450 brands are Aviance, Ben & Jerry’s, Dove, Flora/Becel, Heartbrand ice creams, Hellmann’s, Knorr, Lipton, Lux/Radox, Omo/Surf, Sunsilk, Toni & Guy, VO5, and PG Tips In December 2012, Unilever began phasing out by 2015 the use of microplastics in their personal care products In January 2013, Unilever divested its Skippy peanut butter brand, together with related manufacturing facilities in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States and Weifang, China, to Hormel Foods for approximately $700 million In July 2013, Unilever increased its stake in its Indian unit, Hindustan Unilever, to 67 percent for around €2.45 billion M08_DAVI6894_15_GE_C08.indd 256 In August 2013, Unilever signed an agreement for the sale of its Wish-Bone and Western dressings brands to Pinnacle Foods Inc for $580 million, subject to regulatory approval In 2013, Fortune ranked Unilever as the 39th most admired company in the world outside the United States In September 2013, Unilever acquired T2, a premium Australian tea company that generated sales approaching AUS$57 million for the 12-month period ending June 30 2013 Unilever is the largest tea company in the world T2 operates 40 stores and its range of fragrant teas and tea wares from around the world are also sold through some of the best restaurants in the country 21/08/14 11:25 AM Find more at

Identifying and evaluating alternative strategies should involve many of the managers and employees who previously assembled the organizational vision and mission statements, performed the external audit, and conducted the internal audit Representatives from each department and division of the firm should be included in this process, as was the case in previous strategy-formulation activities Recall that involvement provides the best opportunity for managers and employees to gain an understanding of what the firm is doing and why and to become committed to helping the firm accomplish its objectives All participants in the strategy analysis and choice activity should have the firm’s external and internal audit information available This information, coupled with the firm’s mission statement, will help participants crystallize in their own minds particular strategies that they believe could benefit the firm most Creativity should be encouraged in this thought process Alternative strategies proposed by participants should be considered and discussed in a meeting or series of meetings Proposed strategies should be listed in writing When all feasible strategies identified by participants are given and understood, the strategies should be ranked M08_DAVI6894_15_GE_C08.indd 257 21/08/14 11:25 AM Find more at http://www.downloadslide.com 258 CHAPTER 8 • Strategy Generation and Selection in order of attractiveness by all participants, with = should not be implemented, = possibly should be implemented, = probably should be implemented, and = definitely should be implemented This process will result in a prioritized list of best strategies that reflects the collective wisdom of the group A Comprehensive Strategy-Formulation Analytical Framework Important strategy-formulation techniques can be integrated into a three-stage decisionmaking framework, as shown in Figure 8-2 The tools presented in this framework are applicable to all sizes and types of organizations and can help strategists identify, evaluate, and select strategies Stage of the formulation framework consists of the EFE Matrix, the IFE Matrix, and the Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM) Called the input stage, Stage summarizes the basic input information needed to formulate strategies Stage 2, called the matching stage, focuses on generating feasible alternative strategies by aligning key external and internal factors Stage techniques include the Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) Matrix, the Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE) Matrix, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix, the Internal-External (IE) Matrix, and the Grand Strategy Matrix Stage 3, called the decision stage, involves a single technique, the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) A QSPM uses input information from Stage to objectively evaluate feasible alternative strategies identified in Stage A QSPM reveals the relative attractiveness of alternative strategies and thus provides objective basis for selecting specific strategies All nine techniques included in the strategy-formulation framework require the integration of intuition and analysis Autonomous divisions in an organization commonly use strategy- formulation techniques to develop strategies and objectives Divisional analyses provide a basis for identifying, evaluating, and selecting among alternative corporate-level strategies Strategists themselves, not analytic tools, are always responsible and accountable for strategic decisions Lenz emphasized that the shift from a words-oriented to a numbers oriented planning process can give rise to a false sense of certainty; it can reduce dialogue, discussion, and argument as a means for exploring understandings, testing assumptions, and fostering organizational learning.1 Strategists, therefore, must be wary of this possibility and use analytical tools to facilitate, rather than to diminish, communication Without objective information and analysis, personal biases, politics, emotions, personalities, and halo error (the tendency to put too much weight on a single factor) unfortunately may play a dominant role in the strategy-formulation process STAGE 1: THE INPUT STAGE External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM) Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) Matrix STAGE 2: THE MATCHING STAGE Strengths-Weaknesses- Strategic Position and Opportunities-Threats Action Evaluation (SWOT) Matrix (SPACE) Matrix Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix Internal-External (IE) Matrix Grand Strategy Matrix STAGE 3: THE DECISION STAGE Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) Figure 8-2 The Strategy-Formulation Analytical Framework M08_DAVI6894_15_GE_C08.indd 258 21/08/14 11:25 AM Find more at http://www.downloadslide.com CHAPTER 8 • Strategy Generation and Selection 259 The Input Stage Procedures for developing an EFE Matrix, an IFE Matrix, and a CPM were presented in Chapters and The information derived from these three matrices provides basic input information for the matching and decision stage matrices described later in this chapter The input tools require strategists to quantify subjectivity during early stages of the strategy-formulation process Making small decisions in the input matrices regarding the relative importance of external and internal factors allows strategists to more effectively generate and evaluate alternative strategies Good intuitive judgment is always needed in determining appropriate weights and ratings The Matching Stage Strategy is sometimes defined as the match an organization makes between its internal resources and skills and the opportunities and risks created by its external factors.2 The matching stage of the strategy-formulation framework consists of five techniques that can be used in any sequence: the SWOT Matrix, the SPACE Matrix, the BCG Matrix, the IE Matrix, and the Grand Strategy Matrix These tools rely on information derived from the input stage to match external opportunities and threats with internal strengths and weaknesses Matching external and internal critical success factors is the key to effectively generating feasible alternative strategies For example, a firm with excess working capital (an internal strength) could take advantage of the cell phone industry’s 20 percent annual growth rate (an external opportunity) by acquiring Cellfone, Inc., a firm in the cell phone industry This example portrays simple one-to-one matching In most situations, external and internal relationships are more complex, and the matching requires multiple alignments for each strategy generated Successful matching of key external and internal factors depends upon those underlying key factors being both specific and actionable The basic concept of matching is illustrated in Table 8-1 Any organization, whether military, product-oriented, service-oriented, governmental, or even athletic, must develop and execute good strategies to win A good offense without a good defense, or vice versa, usually leads to defeat Developing strategies that use strengths to capitalize on opportunities could be considered an offense, whereas strategies designed to improve on weaknesses while avoiding threats could be termed defensive Every organization has some external opportunities and threats and internal strengths and weaknesses that can be aligned to formulate feasible alternative strategies The SWOT Matrix The Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) Matrix is an important matching tool that helps managers develop four types of strategies: SO (strengths-opportunities) strategies, WO (weaknesses-opportunities) strategies, ST (strengths-threats) strategies, and WT (weaknesses-threats) strategies.3 Matching key external and internal factors is the most difficult part of developing a SWOT Matrix and requires good judgment—and there is no one best set of matches Note in Table 8-1 that the first, second, third, and fourth strategies are SO, WO, ST, and WT strategies, respectively Table 8-1 Matching Key External and Internal Factors to Formulate Alternative Strategies Key Internal Factor Key External Factor Resultant Strategy Excess working capital (an internal strength) + 20 percent annual growth in the cell phone industry (an external opportunity) = Acquire Cellfone, Inc Insufficient capacity (an internal weakness) + Exit of two major foreign competitors from the industry (an external opportunity) = Pursue horizontal integration by buying competitors’ facilities Strong research and development expertise (an internal strength) + Decreasing numbers of younger adults (an external threat) = Develop new products for older adults Poor employee morale (an internal weakness) + Rising health-care costs (an external threat) = Develop a new wellness program M08_DAVI6894_15_GE_C08.indd 259 21/08/14 11:25 AM Find more at http://www.downloadslide.com 260 CHAPTER 8 • Strategy Generation and Selection SO strategies use a firm’s internal strengths to take advantage of external opportunities All managers would like their organization to be in a position in which internal strengths can be used to take advantage of external trends and events Organizations generally will pursue WO, ST, or WT strategies to get into a situation in which they can apply SO strategies When a firm has major weaknesses, it will strive to overcome them and make them strengths When an organization faces major threats, it will seek to avoid them to concentrate on opportunities WO strategies aim at improving internal weaknesses by taking advantage of external opportunities Sometimes key external opportunities exist, but a firm has internal weaknesses that prevent it from exploiting those opportunities For example, there may be a high demand for electronic devices to control the amount and timing of fuel injection in automobile engines (opportunity), but a certain auto parts manufacturer may lack the technology required for producing these devices (weakness) One possible WO strategy would be to acquire this technology by forming a joint venture with a firm having competency in this area An alternative WO strategy would be to hire and train people with the required technical capabilities ST strategies use a firm’s strengths to avoid or reduce the impact of external threats This does not mean that a strong organization should always meet threats in the external environment head-on An example ST strategy occurred when Texas Instruments used an excellent legal department (a strength) to collect nearly $700 million in damages and royalties from nine Japanese and Korean firms that infringed on patents for semiconductor memory chips (threat) Rival firms that copy ideas, innovations, and patented products are a major threat in many industries This is still a major problem for U.S firms selling products in China WT strategies are defensive tactics directed at reducing internal weakness and avoiding external threats An organization faced with numerous external threats and internal weaknesses may indeed be in a precarious position In fact, such a firm may have to fight for its survival, merge, retrench, declare bankruptcy, or choose liquidation A schematic representation of the SWOT Matrix is provided in Figure 8-3 Note that a SWOT Matrix is composed of nine cells As shown, there are four key factor cells, four strategy cells, and one cell that is always left blank (the upper-left cell) The four strategy cells, labeled SO, WO, ST, and WT, are developed after completing four key factor cells, labeled S, W, O, and T There are eight steps involved in constructing a SWOT Matrix: List the firm’s key external opportunities List the firm’s key external threats List the firm’s key internal strengths List the firm’s key internal weaknesses Match internal strengths with external opportunities, and record the resultant SO strategies in the appropriate cell Match internal weaknesses with external opportunities, and record the resultant WO strategies Match internal strengths with external threats, and record the resultant ST strategies Match internal weaknesses with external threats, and record the resultant WT strategies Some important aspects of a SWOT Matrix are evidenced in Figure 8-3 For example, note that both the internal and external factors and the SO, ST, WO, and WT strategies are stated in quantitative terms to the extent possible This is important For example, regarding the second SO number-2 and ST number-1 strategies, if the analyst just said, “Add new repair and service persons,” the reader might think that 20 new repair and service persons are needed Actually only two are needed Always be specific to the extent possible in stating factors and strategies It is also important to include the “S1, O2” type notation after each strategy in a SWOT Matrix This notation reveals the rationale for each alternative strategy Strategies not rise out of the blue Note in Figure 8-3 how this notation reveals the internal and external factors that were matched to formulate desirable strategies For example, note that this retail computer store business may need to “purchase land to build new store” because a new Highway 34 will make its location less desirable The notation (W2, O2) and (S8, T3) in Figure 8-3 exemplifies this matching process The purpose of each Stage matching tool is to generate feasible alternative strategies, not to select or determine which strategies are best Not all of the strategies developed in the SWOT Matrix, therefore, will be selected for implementation The strategy-formulation guidelines provided in Chapter can enhance the process of matching key external and internal factors For example, when an organization has both the M08_DAVI6894_15_GE_C08.indd 260 21/08/14 11:25 AM Find more at

paint, and bath (W3, W4, O1) Up website services by 50 percent (W6, O7, O8) Launch mailout to all realtors in city (W5, O7) WT Strategies Hire two new cashiers (W8, T1, T4) Install new carpet, paint, and bath (W3, W4, T1) Figure 8-3 A SWOT Matrix for a Retail Computer Store capital and human resources needed to distribute its own products (internal strength) and distributors are unreliable, costly, or incapable of meeting the firm’s needs (external threat), forward integration can be an attractive ST strategy When a firm has excess production capacity (internal weakness) and its basic industry is experiencing declining annual sales and profits (external threat), related diversification can be an effective WT strategy Although the SWOT matrix is widely used in strategic planning, the analysis does have some limitations.4 First, SWOT does not show how to achieve a competitive advantage, so it must not be an end in itself The matrix should be the starting point for a discussion on how proposed strategies could be implemented as well as cost-benefit considerations that ultimately could lead to competitive advantage Second, SWOT is a static assessment (or snapshot) in time

motion picture where you see the lead characters and the setting but have no clue as to the plot As circumstances, capabilities, threats, and strategies change, the dynamics of a competitive environment may not be revealed in a single matrix Third, SWOT analysis may lead the firm to overemphasize a single internal or external factor in formulating strategies There are interrelationships among the key internal and external factors that SWOT does not reveal that may be important in devising strategies The Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE) Matrix The Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE) Matrix, another important Stage 2 matching tool, is illustrated in Figure 8-4 Its four-quadrant framework indicates whether aggressive, conservative, defensive, or competitive strategies are most appropriate for a given organization The axes of the SPACE Matrix represent two internal dimensions (financial position [FP] and competitive position [CP]) and two external dimensions (stability position [SP] and industry position [IP]) These four factors are perhaps the most important determinants of an organization’s overall strategic position.5 It is helpful here to elaborate upon the difference between the SP and IP axes SP refers to the volatility of profits and revenues for firms in a given industry SP volatility (stability) is based on the expected impact of changes in core external factors such as technology, economy, demographic, seasonality, etc.) The higher frequency and magnitude of the changes the more unstable on SP An industry can be stable or unstable on SP, yet high or low on IP The smartphone industry for example would be unstable on SP yet high growth on IP, whereas the carbonated beverage industry would be stable on SP yet low growth on IP FP • • • • +7 Conservative Market penetration Market development Product development Related diversification Aggressive Backward, forward, horizontal integration • Market penetration

represented on the axes of the SPACE Matrix Factors that were included in the firm’s EFE and IFE matrices should be considered in developing a SPACE Matrix Other variables commonly included are given in Table 8-2 For example, return on investment, leverage, liquidity, working capital, and cash flow are commonly considered to be determining factors of an organization’s financial strength Like the SWOT Matrix, the SPACE Matrix should be both tailored to the particular organization being studied and based on factual information as much as possible The steps required to develop a SPACE Matrix are as follows: Select a set of variables to define financial position (FP), competitive position (CP), stability position (SP), and industry position (IP) Assign a numerical value ranging from +1 (worst) to +7 (best) to each of the variables that make up the FP and IP dimensions Assign a numerical value ranging from –1 (best) to –7 (worst) to each of the variables that make up the SP and CP dimensions On the FP and CP axes, make comparison to competitors On the IP and SP axes, make comparison to other industries Compute an average score for FP, CP, IP, and SP by summing the values given to the variables of each dimension and then by dividing by the number of variables included in the respective dimension Plot the average scores for FP, IP, SP, and CP on the appropriate axis in the SPACE Matrix Add the two scores on the x-axis and plot the resultant point on X Add the two scores on the y-axis and plot the resultant point on Y Plot the intersection of the new xy point Draw a directional vector from the origin of the SPACE Matrix through the new intersection point This vector reveals the type of strategies recommended for the organization: aggressive, competitive, defensive, or conservative Some examples of strategy profiles that can emerge from a SPACE analysis are shown in Figure 8-5 The directional vector associated with each profile suggests the type of strategies to pursue: aggressive, conservative, defensive, or competitive When a firm’s directional vector is located in the aggressive quadrant (upper-right quadrant) of the SPACE Matrix, an organization is in an excellent position to use its internal strengths to (a) take advantage of external opportunities, (b) overcome internal weaknesses, and (c) avoid external threats Therefore, market penetration, market Table 8-2 Example Factors That Make Up the SPACE Matrix Axes Internal Strategic Position External Strategic Position Financial Position (FP) Stability Position (SP) Return
