Particulars Details
Culture Does the supplier share the same cultural values as your
organization, or do they commit targets which are unachievable?
Communication What tools will you utilize to communicate with your supplier and
vice versa. ( Fore.g daily Online Conferences, shared spread sheets or
ERP systems reporting live on daily tasks/activities achieved)
Lysons and Farrington elaborate on this model, by showing that procurement may
be “centralised” on a spectrum from:
1. Centralised Procurement: Procurement strategy, policy, systems and standards
are controlled centrally and all procurement activities are carried out centrally.
(This may be suitable where the items required by plants or SBUs are largely
the same).
2. Co-ordinated Devolved Procurement: Procurement strategy, policy, system and
standards are controlled centrally. Procurement of sites common to more than
one plant/SBU are usually centralised, but other procurement activities are
carried out within the SBUs/Plants. ( This may be suitable where SBUs or
plants produce widely dissimilar products.)
3. Consultative Centralised Procurement: Procurement activities, both strategic
and operational are carried out within SBUs/Plants, which take guidance and
advise from a centralised procurement function.

PEST(PESTLE) Analysis
A popular tool for analysing the “Macro Environment” is described by the acronym
PEST or PESTLE or SLEPT., which sets out the main categories of environmental
factors which impact on organisations.
Also known as External Environment of an organisation.
24
Porter’s 5 Forces Model of Competitive Analysis
For a strategist it is to determine which of the economic and competitive forces
exists in a particular industry, which of these forces are relevant and to what
extent.
Porter’s frame work argues that the extent of competition in an industry, its
attractiveness or profitability depends on 5 forces in the organisation.
26
Analysing the internal environment
Resource Audit: Assessing the resources that the organisation owns, controls or
can access to support its competitive position and strategies.
i. Tangible resources include physical resources(building, plant, equipment,
machinery, vehicles, stock).
ii. Financial resources include cash, debtors, loan finance.
iii. Human resources are managers, staff, and contractors.
iv. Intangible resources include reputation in the market, goodwill and
intellectual resources ( know how, information and owned ideas in the form of
patents, trade marks and copyrighted materials).
v. It also includes the age and state of repair of machinery.
vi. Location and accessibility of stock
vii. Learning capacity and turnover of staff.
viii. Effective procedures for managing debtors.
O&T: They are the factors in the external environment that may emerge to
impact on the business. What potential do they offer to either enhance or
erode its competitive advantage or profitability.
SWOT is used to identify areas where strategic responses are required for the
organisation to maintain or enhance its position in relation to the
environment:
Plan to build on strengths and or minimise weaknesses – by identifying the
opportunities or creating new ones and to cope better with the identified
threats.
Plan to convert threats into opportunities – by developing strengths and
contingency plans to counter them (more effectively than competitors) and
by being prepared to learn from them.
These strategic responses may be resource based(building on firms
resources and competencies) or position based( identifying and exploiting
product/market opportunities and aligning resources with environmental
conditions).

The rational strategic management model
However, Ansoff argued for the importance of systematic strategic
planning. Without strategy, there is no proactive, purposeful
search of opportunities. The firm may lack the specialist
knowledge needed for competent analysis of opportunities when
they arise. There will be no meaningful criteria for evaluating and
selecting opportunities, the firm will be unable to anticipate
internal and external changes which will effect its competitive
position.

Analysis of Strategic Position

1. Techniques for analysing external environemnt:
