Questão Responda
Strategic Positioning: how a business is perceived by customers compared with similar businesses in the market
Two Models To Analyse Strategic Position/Future Strategies: -Porters generic strategies -Bowman's strategic clock
Porter's Generic Strategies: model gives firms strategic options based on the markets they operate in and the strategic advantage they offer *Mass/Niche Market *Focus on costs or the product itself *Can also be stuck in the middle (like Clinton's, Nokia etc.) which is likely to lead to failure *Also have hybrid strategies like IKEA (low price but high quality )
Porter's Generic Strategies: (Cost Leadership) *to become the lowest cost producer in the industry to offer the cheapest price to customers -increase labour productivity -reduce variable cost -reduce fixed costs in long term -increase/maximise capacity utilisation -QC/QA -lean prodcution
Porter's Generic Strategies: (Differentiation) -quality of product -branding/usp/image (marketing mix) -innovative
Porter's Generic Strategies: (Cost Focus) -understanding the needs/wants of their specific market (research)
Porter's Generic Strategies: (Differentiation Focus) -focus on product, place and people (expertise/knowledge making it hard for competitors to enter the market/substitute products) e.g. Tiffany, Ferrari
Bowman's Strategic Clock: a model presenting 8 strategic options in terms of price and perceived value of customers
Bowman's Strategic Clock: (Differentiation Strategies) -4&5 (12-2 0'clock) differentiation (4) = may not necessarily charge premium price but ideal to increase profit margins -focused (5) = premium prices for very high quality e.g. Sunseeker yachts more likely to be niche markets
Bowman's Strategic Clock: (Non-competitive strategies) -6, 7, 8 (2-7 O'clock) -a basic product with premium price is unlikely to attract sales so customers will switch brands unless the product is in a monopoly market (sole seller of goods with no competitors)
Bowman's Strategic Clock: (Low-price strategies) -1 & 2 (7-9 O'clock) -selling at a lower price than perceived value -very low profit margins but very high volume and low customer loyalty (not usually an ideal strategy but firms that lack USP and cater for low income/price sensitive consumers (inferior goods) can be very successful e.g. Poundland, Ryanair)
Bowman's Strategic Clock: (Hybrid strategies) -3 (9-12 O'clock) -usually short-term to boost sales/create awareness (often when entering new markets) -prices are lower than perceived value to attract interest and sales
