Here are some com monly used case concepts.Net present valuePerhaps the most important type of decision company managers must make on a daily basis is w hether to undertake a proposed investment. For example, should the company buy a certain piece of equipment? Build a particular factory? Invest in a new project? These types of decisions are c alled capital budgeting decisions. The consultant makes such decisions by calculating the net prese nt value of each proposed investment and making only those investments that have positive net p resent values.Example: Hernandez is the CFO of Western Manufacturing Corp., an automobile manufacturer. T he company is considering opening a new factory in Ohio that will require an initial investment of $1 million. The company forecasts that the factory will generate after-tax cash flows of $100,000 in Year 1, $200,000 in Year 2, $400,000 in Year 3, and $400,000 in Year 4. At the end of Ye ar 4, the company would then sell the factory for $200,000. The company uses a discount rate o f 12 percent. Hernandez must determine whether the company should go ahead and build the fac tory. To make this decision, Hernandez must calculate the net present value of the investment. T he cash flows associated with the factory are as follows:Hernandez then calculates the NPV of the factory as follows:Since the factory has a negative net present value, Hernandez correctly decides that the factory sh ould not be built.The net present value ruleNote from the example above that once the consultant has figured out the NPV of a proposed i nvestment, she then decides whether to undertake the investment by applying the net present valu e rule:Make only those investments that have a positive net present value.As long as the consultant follows this rule, she can be confident that each investment is making a positive net contribution to the company.The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)In the above example, we assumed a given discount rate. However, part of a consultant's job is t o determine an appropriate discount rate (r) to use when calculating net present values. The disco unt rate may vary depending on the investment.BetaThe first step in arriving at an appropriate discount rate for a given investment is determining th e investments riskiness. The market risk of an investment is measured by its "beta" (?), which measures riskiness when compared to the market as a whole. An investment with a beta of 1 has t he same riskiness as the market as a whole (so, for example, when the market moves down 10 p ercent, the value of the investment will on average fall 10 percent as well). An investment with b eta of 2 will be twice as risky as the market (so when the market falls 10 percent, the value of the investment will on average fall 20 percent).CAPMOnce the consultant has determined the beta of a proposed investment, he can use the Capital A sset Pricing Model (CAPM) to calculate the appropriate discount rate (r):The risk-free rate of return is the return the company could receive by making a risk-free invest ment (for example, by investing in U.S. Treasury bills). The market rate of return is the return th e company could receive by investing in a well-diversified portfolio of stocks (for example, S&P 500).Example: Shen, Inc., a coal producer, is considering investing in a new venture that would manuf acture and market carbon filters. Shen's chief financial officer, Apelbaum, wants to calculate the N PV of the proposed venture in order to determine whether the company should make the invest ment. After studying the riskiness of the proposed venture, Apelbaum determines that the beta of the investment is 1.5. A U.S. Treasury note of comparable maturity currently yields 7 percent, w hile the return on the S&P 500 stock index is 12 percent. Therefore, the discount rate Apelbaum will use when calculating the NPV of the investment will be:Although this is an overly simplified discussion of how consultants calculate discount rate to use i n their cash-flow analysis, it does give you an overview of how consultants incorporate the notio n of an investment's market to select the appropriate discount rate.Porter's Five ForcesDeveloped by Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter in his book Competitive Strategy, the Porter's Five Forces framework helps determine the attractiveness of an industry. Before any company expands into new markets, divests product lines, acquires new businesses, or sells divisi ons, it should ask itself, "Is the industry we're entering or exiting attractive?" By using Porter's Fi ve Forces, a company can begin to develop a thoughtful answer. Consultants frequently utilize Po rter's Five Forces as a starting point to help companies evaluate industry attractiveness.Take, for example, entry into the copy store market (like Kinko's). How attractive is the copy sto re market?Potential entrants: What is the threat of new entrants into the market? Copy stores are not very expensive to open - you can conceivably open a copy store with one copier and one employee. Therefore, barriers to entry are low, so there's a high risk of potential new entrants.Buyer power: How much bargaining power do buyers have? Copy store customers are relatively p rice sensitive. Between the choice of a copy store that charges 5 cents a copy and a store that c harges 6 cents a copy, buyers will usually head for the cheaper store. Because copy stores are co mmon, buyers have the leverage to bargain with copy store owners on large print jobs, threatenin g to take their business elsewhere. The only mitigating factors are location and hours. On the oth er hand, price is not the only factor. Copy stores that are willing to stay open 24 hours may be able to charge a premium, and customers may simply patronize the copy store closest to them i f other locations are relatively inconvenient.Supplier power: How much bargaining power do suppliers have? While paper prices may be on t he rise, copier prices continue to fall. The skill level employees need to operate a copy shop (for basic services, like copying, collating, etc.) are relatively low as well, meaning that employees will have little bargaining power. Suppliers in this situation have low bargaining power.Threat of substitutes: What is the risk of substitution? For basic copying jobs, more people now possess color printers at home. Additionally, fax machines have the capability to fulfill copy functi ons as well. Large companies will normally have their own copying facilities. However, for large-s cale projects, most individuals and employees at small companies will still use the services of a co py shop. The Internet is a potential threat to copy stores as well, because some documents that f ormerly would be distributed in hard copy will now be posted on the Web or sent through e-ma il. However, for the time being, there is still relatively strong demand for copy store services. Competition: Competition within the industry appears to be intense. Stores often compete on pric e, and are willing to "underbid" one another to win printing contracts. Stores continue to add ne w features to compete as well, such as expanding hours to 24-hour service and offering free deliv ery.From this analysis, you can ascertain that copy stores are something of a commodity market. Con sumers are very price-sensitive, copy stores are inexpensive to set up, and the market is relatively easily entered by competitors. Advances in technology may reduce the size of the copy store ma rket. Value-added services, such as late hours, convenient locations, or additional services such as creating calendars or stickers, may help copy stores differentiate themselves. But overall, the copy store industry does not appear to be an attractive one.As dot-coms come under fire, one case question we've heard increasingly is "How would you create barriers to entry as an Internet Startup?"Product life cycle curveIf you're considering a product case, figure out how "mature" your product or service isStrategy tool/framework chartHere's one way to think about the choice between being the lowest-cost provider or carving out a higher-end market niche - what consultants call differentiation.The Four PsThis is a useful framework for evaluating marketing cases. It can be applied to both products an d services. The Four Ps consist of:PriceThe price a firm sets for its product/service can be a strategic advantage. For example, it can be predatory (set very low to undercut the competition), or it can be set slightly above market aver age to convey a "premium" image. Consider how pricing is being used in the context of the case presented to you.ProductThe product (or service) may provide strategic advantage if it is the only product/service that sati sfies a particular intersection of customer needs. Or it may simply be an extension of already exis ting products, and therefore not much of a benefit. Try to tease out the value of the product in the marketplace based on the case details you have been given.Position/PlaceThe physical location of a product/service can provide an advantage if it is superior to its compe tition, if it is easier or more convenient for people to consume, or if it makes the consumer mor e aware of the product/service over its competition. In the context of a business case, you may want to determine the placement of the product or service compared to its competition. PromotionWith so much noise in today's consumer (and business to business) marketplace, it is difficult for any one product/service to stand out in a category. Promotional activity (including advertising, di scounting to consumers and suppliers, celebrity appearances, etc.) can be used to create or maintai n consumer awareness, open new markets, or target a specific competitor. You may want to sugg est a promotional strategy in the context of the case you are presented relative to the promotiona l activity of other competing products/services.The Four CsThe Four Cs are especially useful for analyzing new product introductions and for industry analysi s.CustomersHow is the market segmented?What are the purchase criteria that customers use?CompetitionWhat is the market share of the clients?What is its market position?What is its strategy?What is its cost position?Does he/she have any market advantages?CostWhat kind of economies of scale does the client have?What is the client's experience curve?Will increased production lower cost?CapabilitiesWhat resources can the client draw from?How is the client organized?What is the production system?The Five CsThis framework is mostly applied to financial cases and to companies (although it can be applied to individuals). You may employ it in other situations if you think it is appropriate. CharacterEvaluate the dedication, track record, and overall consumer perception of the company. Are there any legal actions pending against the company? If so, for what reason? Is the company progressi ve about its waste disposal, quality of life for its employees, and charitable contributions? What s ort of impact would this have on the case you are evaluating?CapacityIf you are dealing with a manufacturing entity, are its factories at, above, or below capacity, and for what reasons? Are there plans to add new plants, improve the technology in existing plants, o r close underperforming plants? What about production overseas?CapitalWhat is the company's cost of capital relative to its competitors? How healthy are its cash flows, revenues, and debt load relative to its competition?ConditionsWhat is the current business climate the company (and its industry) faces? What is the short- and long-term growth potential in the industry? How is the market characterized? Is it emerging or mature? These questions can assist you in evaluating the facts of the case against the environment that the company/industry inhabits.Competitive AdvantageThis is the unique edge a company possesses over its competitors. It can be an unparalleled set of business processes, the ability to produce a product/service at a lower cost, charge a market p remium, or any number of other assets that create an advantage over other market players. Whate ver the case, these advantages are usually defensible and not easily copied.In evaluating business cases using the Five Cs framework, you should look for those unique quali ties that a company possesses and identify any that meet the criteria mentioned above. You may suggest that the company leverage its competitive advantage more aggressively or recommend alter natives if that company has no discernible advantage.Value Chain AnalysisThis approach involves assessing a company's overall business processes and identifying where that company actually adds value to a product or service. The total margin of profit will be the valu e of the product or service to buyers, less the cost of its production, as determined by the value chain.In most cases, a competitive advantage is only temporary for many of today's products/services. Being first to market, having a unique formula or configuration, or having exclusivity in a market were once long-term defensible strategies. But today, businesses are globally connected by lightnin g-fast communications and knowledge-sharing systems and manufacturing technologies are getting b etter and faster at reacting to and anticipating market conditions. Thus these advantages are only fleeting or may not exist at all.Value Chain Analysis attempts to identify a competitive advantage by deconstructing the various " changes" a company's business processes perform on a set of raw materials or other inputs. Most can be easily copied by other competitors, but there is usually a unique subset that represents th e "value-added" qualities only the company under scrutiny possesses. This set is that company's c ompetitive advantage, or "value chain." Sometimes this set can be copied, but a unique set of cir cumstances may still allow the company in question to perform them at a lower cost, charge a p remium in the market, or retain higher market share than its competitors.In the context of a business case, you can use this framework to identify a company's overall bu siness processes set and then determine if one or more of the processes are defensible competitiv e advantages.For example, a manufacturer of fruit juice might have the following value chain elements: •Research and development (Will mango really taste good with cloudberry juice?)•Cost of goods sold (How much does it cost to manufacture the fruit juice? Is there a frost inFlorida that drives up the costs of oranges? Is the currency crisis in Indonesia making papaya ver y cheap? Are per-volume purchases lower than, for example, those of Tropicana?) •Packaging and shipping (How much does that new banana-shaped container cost? Are many bottl es lost in transit? What are the fixed costs of shipping?)•Manufacturing (How much do those juice pulpers cost? How often do factories need to be reen gineered?)•Labor (How many employees do we have? Where are they located? Are they unionized?) •Distr ibution (Where are the distribution centers? Where are the products distributed?) •Advertising (Billboards, TV, magazines?)•Margin (How profitable is the juice company?)For more detailed information on this type of analysis, you may want to consider the authoritativ e text on competitive strategy: Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Com petitors, by Michael E. Porter.Core competencies"Core competencies" is the idea that each firm has a limited number of things it is very good at (that is, its core competence or competencies).When restructuring or reengineering, one of the starting points for a company should be identifyi ng its core competencies. A firm should define its core competencies broadly in order to be flexi ble enough to adapt to changes in the marketplace. (For instance, when Xerox defined itself as a "document company," rather than a maker of copy machines, it was able to take advantage of t he more lucrative business of document handling and outsourcing for major corporations, as well as of the market for fax machines, scanners, and other document-handling equipment.) Companies should seriously consider selling/spinning off business units that are not part of their "core" business. For instance, Pepsi recently spun off its restaurant operations after it concluded t hat its expertise was in manufacturing and marketing beverages, not in managing restaurants.Benchmarking and "best practices"A commonly used concept in consulting (especially in operations and implementation engagements) is "benchmarking." Benchmarking basically means researching what other companies in the indust ry are doing (usually in order to evaluate whether your client is operating efficiently or to identify areas where the client can cut costs). For example, if a mail-order company wants to reduce its order-processing costs, it would want to compare its order processing costs with those of other mail-order companies, breaking down its costs for each part of the process (including order-taking and shipping) and comparing them with industry averages. It can then pinpoint those areas wher e its costs are higher than average for the industry.A related concept is "best practices": once you've benchmarked what other companies are doing, you want to focus on those companies that have particular low costs or which otherwise operate particularly well. What are they doing right (i.e., what are their "best practices")? And how can o ur client (in the case) emulate or copy what they're doing? Remember to look outside your client' s particular industry, if necessary, to find the best practices for a particular process or operation.The 2x2 matrixThe 2x2 matrix is a good framework to use any time you have two factors that, when combined, yield different outcomes. A very rudimentary example would be what happens when you turn on your bathroom faucets, as follows:A more business-appropriate example would involve acquiring a company. Let?s say a company is interested in understanding the difficulty of acquiring or building a distribution center and it is c onsidering financing this decision with either stock or debt. The potential outcomes might look li ke this:The BCG MatrixThe BCG Matrix, named after the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), is perhaps the most famous 2x2 matrix. The matrix measures a company's relative market share on the horizontal axis and it s growth rate on the vertical axis.M&A cases: Determining the value of an acquisitionCase interviews aren't just for consultants. Mergers & acquisition cases are wildly popular at invest ment banks. Here's how to analyze a potential acquisition.Value Drivers (M&A) FrameworkIn order to understand value, we need to understand the three primary value drivers:The value components can be further broken out into specific "value drivers":M&A Cases: Data Gathering and AnalysisMarket Analysis Tools• Competitive position framework• Relative value versus competitors to customer through supply chain• Product life cycle• Supply and demand analysis- Industry capacity- Industry utilization- Demand drivers- Regressions• Segmentation analysis• Porter's Five Forces• Experience curves• Trends and outlook• Key success factorsTarget Analysis Tools• Business system - comparison with competitors• Market share (over time and by segment)• Capacity (growth and utilization of)• Customer's key purchase criteria and relative performance • Financial history• Sales and profitability by segment• Cash flow analysis• Margin and expense structure• Relative cost position• Cost benchmarkingYour data gathering strategy will vary depending on industry:A framework cautionAll the frameworks detailed above are widely used, and most U.S. business schools teach them as part of their core curriculums. Your interviewers will instantly recognize when you are applying t hem, since they are already familiar with the techniques. While this is OK, consider that you are trying to demonstrate your unique analytical and deductive reasoning skills that set you apart from other candidates. You must be creative and original in analyzing case questions. Use these frame works sparingly. (Another note: No interviewer will be impressed if you proudly proclaim, "I'm go ing to apply Porters Five Forces now." Apply frameworks without identifying them.)本文档部分内容来源于网络,如有内容侵权请告知删除,感谢您的配合!。
Business strategy

Business strategyA business strategy is the means by which it sets out to achieve its desired ends (objectives). It can simply be described as a long-term business planning. Typically a business strategy will cover a period of about 3-5 years (sometimes even longer).A business strategy is concerned with major resource issues e.g. raising the finance to build a new factory or plant. Strategies are also concerned with deciding on what products to allocate major resources to - for example when Coca-Cola launched Pooh Roo Juice in this country.Strategies are concerned with the scope of a business' activities i.e. what and where they produce. For example, BIC's scope is focused on three main product areas - lighters, pens, and razors, and they have developed super factories in key geographical locations to produce these items.Two main categories of strategies can be identified:1. Generic (general) strategies, and2. Competitive strategies.The main types of generic strategies that organisations can pursue are:1. Growth i.e. the expansion of the company to purchase new assets, including new businesses, and to develop new products. The Inland Revenue has expanded from being just a tax collector, to other functions such as collecting student loan repayments and paying tax credits.2. Internationalisation/globalisation i.e. moving operations into more and more countries. For example companies like Gillette, Coca-Cola, Kellogg's, and Cadbury Schweppes are major multinationals with operations across the globe.3. Retrenchment involves cutting back to focus on your best lines. The Americans refer to this as'sticking to the knitting' - i.e. concentrating on what you do best.Competitive advantageCompetitive strategies are also important. Competitive strategies are concerned with doing things better than rivals. To be competitive a firm shouldn't just copy the ideas of rivals. They should seek to out compete rivals. There are two main ways of being competitive.1. By selling goods at lower prices than rivals. This is possible when a firm is the market leader and benefits from economies of scale.2. By differentiating your product from those of rivals - which enables you to charge a higher price if desired.The airline industry is divided into two main segments. At one end of the market are the premium price category firms such as British Airways that concentrate on differentiation. They offer better service to passengers, more legroom, in flight entertainment, and more individualised attention. At the other end of the market the emphasis is on being the low cost producer and is exemplified by 'no frills' airlines such as Ryanair. Ryanair focuses on short haul destinations and keeping its planes in the air as frequently as possible in a 24 hour period.Economies of scale - The advantages that large firms have from producing large volumes of output enabling them to spread their costs over more units of output.Differentiation - Making a product different from rival offerings e.g. through packaging and labelling, customer care, additional extra features, etc.Do not fall for overly complicated planning processes. All you need to do is answer these six questions.Most entrepreneurs agree that the ability to consistently execute is a key factor in surviving the start-up phase and ultimately winning. That said you could not make a pig fly, no matter how much you stick with it. In other words, a crummy plan executed well still gets you crummy results. So start with a solid strategy.A sound plan and a simple plan are not mutually exclusive. If you are going to work on a plan, your plan should work for you.Management journals, books, blogs and articles are filled with countless approaches to strategic planning. The definitions for the various components of a strategic plan can be debated endlessly: a vision versus a mission, initiatives versus tactics, and goals versus objectives.Whatever the terms you prefer, cut through the clutter by answering six simple questions about your business:Why do we exist?Where are we going?How will we conduct ourselves?What will we do?How will we measure our success?What improvements or changes must we make?Answering these questions will get you started with a solid plan you can execute. In addition, a final note of caution: Do not be deceived by the simplicity of the questions.。
商务谈判战略技巧英文版

Strategy is so important that it’s the overall plan to accomplish one’s goals in the negotiation and the action sequences that will lead to accomplishment of those goals. In this negotiation, we pursuit a win-win situation, therefore we tend to use collaboration strategy. Specific strategy we used in the negotiation are as follow.The opening of the negotiation is the first time the two negotiators meet each other, it’s the beginning of the business negotiation, and a good opening can laid the groundwork for future negotiations. we used reserved strategy at the opening of the negotiation. Our negotiators made an informal get-together session with Mr. Steve at his hotel in order to understanding if he has the willingness to sell the hotel. The informal get-together session focus more on understanding the other party’s thoughts. We won’t make clear responds to the critical questions raising by the other party, but make a reservation.We used prices explain strategy when making offers in the formal negotiation. When the formal negotiation began, we waited for the other party to quote. After they told their price , then we expressed that their offers is not acceptable to us and request an reasonable explanation about the price. This strategy can help us understand the other party’s intention and gain more information from them.The Nibble is used as the strategy of counteroffer. Finding a breakthrough according to the other party’s offer price and information we collected, using the Nibble to make a counteroffer. The hotel was located at the industrial city and the environment is getting worse with the industrial development. In addition, the inside infrastructure of the hotel is old. For reasons like that, the hotel can not satisfy the customer's demand any more and the condition of the hotel is going downhill. Giving the detailed analysis to the other party done by the consultancy, then told them our counteroffer price.There are three main strategy we used to make a concession in this negotiation.1.Reciprocal concession: This strategy used to obtain compliance from another negotiator. Thatmeans we give concessions and expect concessions from the other party on a certain problem in return. As things are at the moment, the position which the hotel located is not being able to satisfy their target clients’ demand. For this, the hotel had better to move away the city and seek for a suitable site. However the hotel is unable to pay for the huge moving expense.Considering the cost of moving, we can make an appropriate concession that we contact a relocation company for the hotel and pay for the moving expense. By doing this, we could asked for a larger favor from the other party in return.2.Long-term benefits: when the other party asks for concession, we could stress thatmaintaining business relation with us will be able to bring long-term benefits. Considering the hotel relocation will result in customer run off to some extent, we could provide the advertisement platform for the hotel. Promise the other party ties an advertisement for the hotel on the outdoor advertising spaces and responsible for the plan and the design.3.Nonspecific Compensation: This strategy allows one party to obtain his objectives and pay offthe other person for accommodating his interest. The payoff may be unrelated to the substantive negotiation being discussed. The hotel’s hotel the target client is 18-25 year-oldyoung student whose paying capacity is low. We respect the spirit that the hotel founders always care of the s minority groups of the society. For this, our company would like to donate 20,000 dollars to aid by establishing a fund for hotelFour main options that we could used in this negotiation for responding to the other party’s offensive.1.Respond in kind: ask for some benefits from the other party before we make concession.When the other party insist on a certain problem and force us to make concession, we could relate this question with other questions together, for the condition to make concession If the other party requests us to raise the price, we could agree it only the when the hotel promise to move within a month. Our company could start our construction as soon as possible if the hotel moves in the in a short time.2.Adjournment: When there is an obstruction in the negotiation, using adjournment couldeffective. When the other party put forward a price that we could not accept it and they showing no willingness to make a concession, then we could call for an adjournment. That could make us analyze the situation objectively, and take the corresponding countermeasure.3.No precedent :that’s a strategy to reject the other party’s request. When the other party makean extortionate request, we could explain to them that our company had no this precedent in the past and it’s un fair to other clients. By using this strategy to protect our own interest.4.Power limitation: During the negotiation ,when the other party asked for price that is close to290,000, our negotiators could indicated that they have no right the decision-making , that have already outrun the power range that they have to ask for instruction from superior.。

战略业务单元(StrategicBusinessUnit,SBU)

战略业务单元(重定向自战略事业单元)战略业务单元(Strategic Business Unit,SBU)战略业务单元的涵义一般管理着相当多的不同的业务范围,它的每项业务都要有自己的战略。
通用电气公司把它所经营的范围划分为49种,并称为战略业务单元(亦称战略性事业单位、策略性事业单位。
即SBU,Strategic Business Units)。
战略业务单元是公司中的一个单位,或者职能单元,它是以企业所服务的独立的产品、行业或市场为基础,由企业若干事业部或事业部的某些部分组成的战略组织。
战略业务单位必须在公司总体目标和战略的约束下,执行自己的战略管理过程。
在这个执行过程中其经营能力不是持续稳定的,而是在不断变化的,可能会得到加强,也可能会被削弱,这取决于公司的资源分配状况。
[编辑]战略业务单位的特征一个理想的战略业务单位应该具备以下特征。
1 .有独立的业务;它是一项独立业务或相关业务的集合体,但在计划工作中能与公司其他业务分开而单独作业.2 .有不同的任务;它有区别于其他业务单位的具体任务,大目标相同,从不同的方向去努力.3 .有自己的竞争者;在各自的领域都有现实的或潜在的对手.4 .掌握一定的资源;掌握公司分配的资源的控制权,以创造新的资源.5. 有自己的管理班子;它往往有一位经理,负责战略计划、利润业绩,并且控制影响利润的大多数因素.6 .能从战略计划中得到好处;它有相对的独立权,能按贡献分得应有的利润和其他好处.7 .可以独立计划其他业务.可以扩展相关业务或新的业业务.[编辑]战略业务单元的特点很明显,用策略经营单位组织的主要好处是保证在大公司中某一产品不致被销售量大、利润高的其他产品挤掉,还可以使负责指导与推销某一产品或产品系列的经理和职工集中注意力并倾注其全部力量。
因此它也是一种组织技巧,可以保护企业家的注意力和精力,这一点是小型公司的特点。
实际上,这是一种提高大公司或许很缺乏的“企业家经营之道”的好方法。

梅特卡夫定律
• 网络的有用性(价值)随着用户数量的平 方数增加而增加。 • 假设网络中有n个人,则网络对所有人的总 价值与n(n-1)=n2-n成正比。 • 网络连线数量:1/2(n2-n)

网络外部性的来源
• “自有价值”(Autarky Value)。在没有别的使用 者的情况下,产品本身所具有的那部分价值 • “协同价值”(Synchronization Value)。当新的 用户加入网络时,老用户从中获得的额外价值 • 主产品和补充产品的相互作用(兼容)。在某个系 统中,单件产品只有在于其他产品相互配合后才能发 挥作用。因此用户在购买某件产品后通常还会购买 相应的硬件和软件。此时一旦用户向某种特定的系 统投入各种补充和耐用资产时,就会产生锁定。
