Strategies for Competitive
Advantage

 Differentiation – better, or at
least different
 Cost leadership – cheaper
 Response – rapid response

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Canada Inc 2 - 37


Competing on
Differentiation
Uniqueness can go beyond both the
physical characteristics and service
attributes to encompass everything that
impacts customers’ perception of value
 Safeskin gloves – leading edge
products
 Walt Disney Magic Kingdom –
experience differentiation
 Hard Rock Café – dining experience

Copyright © 2017 Pearson Canada Inc 2 - 38


Competing on Cost
Provide the maximum value as
perceived by customer. Does not
imply low quality.

 Porter Airlines – secondary


airports, few fare options, smaller
crews, no expensive ticket offices
 Walmart – small overhead,
shrinkage, distribution costs
 Franz Colruyt – no bags, low
light, no music, doors on freezers
Copyright © 2017 Pearson Canada Inc 2 - 39
Competing on Response
 Flexibility is matching market changes in
design innovation and volumes
 A way of life at Hewlett-Packard
 Reliability is meeting schedules
 German machine industry
 Timeliness is quickness in design,
production, and delivery
 Johnson Electric, Pizza Hut, Motorola

Strategic Planning, Core
Competencies, and
Outsourcing
▶ Outsourcing – transferring activities
that traditionally been internal to
external suppliers
▶ Accelerating due to
1) Increased technological expertise
2) More reliable and cheaper
transportation
3) Rapid development and deployment
of advancements in
telecommunications and computers

Strategic Planning, Core
Competencies, and
Outsourcing
▶ Subcontracting - contract

▶ Outsourced activities

► Travel ► Surgery
services

2 - 66
Theory of Comparative
Advantage
▶ If an external provider can perform
activities more productively than
the purchasing firm, then the
external provider should do the
work
▶ Purchasing firm focuses on core
competencies
▶ Drives outsourcing

Risks of Outsourcing
TABLE 2.2 Potential Advantages and Disadvantages of Outsourcing
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Cost savings Increased logistics and inventory
costs
Gaining outside expertise that Loss of control (quality, delivery,
comes with specialization etc.)
Improving operations and service Potential creation of future

Accessing outside technology Risks may not manifest themselves
