2. Strategic decisions are normally about trying to achieve some advantage for the organisation.
3. Strategic decisions are likely to be concerned with the scope of an organisation’s activities
4. Strategy is to do with the matching of the activities of an organisation to the environment in which it operates.

5. Strategy can also be seen as 'stretching' an organization's resources and competences to create opportunities or capitalize on them.
6. Strategic decisions therefore often have major resource implications for an organisation.
7. Strategic decisions are therefore likely to affect operational decisions, to ‘set off waves of lesser decisions’.
8. The strategy of an organisation will be affected not only by environmental forces and resource availability, but also by the values and expectations of those who have power in and around the organisation

Merging the strategic vision, objectives and strategy into a strategic plan
A strategic plan lays out the company’s future direction, performance targets and strategy
The strategic plan usually ends up as a written document that is circulated to most managers and perhaps selected employees.
This is also explicitly written in the annual report.

Force 1: Rivalry among competing sellers
Rivalry intensifies when competing sellers are active in launching fresh actions to boost their market standing and business performance
Example: head and shoulders, Pantene versus clinic plus, clear
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.

Whether industry members are racing to differentiate their products from rivals by
a. offering better performance featuresb. higher quality c. improved customer service d. wider product selections
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Rivals resort to a. Special promotionsb. Heavy advertisingc. Rebatesd. Low interest finance
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.

How actively industry members are pursuing efforts to build stronger dealer networks.
How hard companies are striving to gain market edge over rivals by developing valuable expertise and capabilities that rivals are hard presses to match
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Rivalry intensifies as the number of competitors increases and as competitors become more equal in size and capability
Rivalry is usually stronger in slow growing markets and weaker in fast growing markets.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Rivalry is usually weaker in industries comprised of so many rivals that the impact of any one company’s action is spread thin across all industry members; likewise it is often weak when there are fewer than five competitors.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Rivalry increases when buyer demand falls and sellers find themselves with excess capacity/inventory.
Rivalry increases as it becomes less costly for buyers to switch brands.
Rivalry is more intense when industry conditions tempt competitors to use price cuts or other competitive weapons to boost unit volume.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Rivalry increases when one or more competitors dissatisfied with their market position.
Rivalry becomes more volatile and unpredictable as the diversity of competitors increases in terms of visions objectives, strategies and resources.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Rivalry increases when strong companies outside the industry acquire weak firms in the industry and launches aggressive well funded moves.
A powerful successful competitive strategy employed by 1 company greatly intensify the competitive pressure on its rivals to develop effective strategic responses
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Threat of entry of new companiesEntry is stronger whena. The pool of entry candidate is large and
some of the candidates have resources that would make them formidable market contenders
Example : entry of pure it in water purifier market
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
b. Entry barriers are low or can be readily hurdled by the likely entry candidates ( ex: Entry of Prestige into induction cooker market)
c. When existing industry members are looking to expand their market reach by entering product segments or geographical areas when they currently do not have presence
Ex: chandrika soap with glycerin and Mysore sandal in North India
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
New comers can expect to earn attractive profits
Example: entry of Go air in the airline segment
Buyer demand is growing rapidlyExample: Android phonesIndustry members are unable to strongly
contest the entry of new comers ( Idea- spice – Karnataka)
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Entry threats are weaker whena. Pool of entry candidates are small
example: Uninor, virgin etc…b. Entry barriers are high example: Insurance sector pay upfront 100
crorec. Existing competitors are struggling to earn
high profittsExample: Usha Martin
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
d. The industry outlook is risky or uncertainExample: telecom equipment companye. Buyer demand is growing slowly or
stagnantExample: color televisionf. Industry members will strongly contest the
efforts of new entrants to gain a market foot hold
Example: Jiva versus Medimix
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Threat of substitutesThreat of substitutes are stronger whena. Good substitutes are readily available or
new ones are emerging example: Digital pen versus penb. Substitutes are attractively priced example: china silk versus kanchi silk.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Substitutes have comparable or better performance features
example : windows versus Google chrome.
End users have low costs in switching to substitutesexample: carbonated drinks versus fruit beverages.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Substitutes are weaker when1. Good substitutes are not readily available
or don’t existexample: Music CD versus USB
2. Substitutes are highly priced relative to the performance they deliverExample: Hair oil versus almond oils
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
End users have high costs in switching to substitutes
Example: Digital greetings versus Archie's
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Signs that competition from substitutes is strong when
a. Sales of substitutes are growing faster than sales of the industry being analyzed ( Pureit versus aquagueard)
b. Profits of the producers of substitutes are on the rise( tubeless tyres versus tyres.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Threat of suppliersThe power of Microsoft and Intel on PC
makers.Supplier bargaining power is higher whena. Industry members incurs high costs in
switching their purchase to alternative suppliers.
Example: company procuring steel from Tata steel world cheapest producer of Iron.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Needed inputs are short in supplyExample; Indian oil depends OPEC decisionsSellers product enhances the image of the
productSeagate and Intel in the PCs.There are only few suppliers of a particular
inputExample: Airbus and boeing
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Some suppliers threaten to integrate forward into the business of industry members and perhaps become powerful rival
example: ITC transformation from commodity business leader to FMCG maker.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Supplier bargaining power is weaker whena. Commodity readily available from many
suppliers example: fertilizersb. Sellers switching cost alternatives are lowExample: Namadhari seeds, seed teck,
parry’s Mahyco
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Good substitute inputs exists or new ones emerge
Example : BT brinjalThere is a surge of suppliersEx: Anchor, haevell, surya, ABB etc..Industry member is biggest purchaser of the
productExample: Maruti versus Gabriel shock
observers.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Industry members are a threat to integrate backward into the business of suppliers and to self manufacture their own requirement.
Ex: Hindustan lever chemicals and seeds.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Threat of BuyersBuyer switching costs to competing brands
or substitute products are lowEx: Switch in the FMCG productBuyers are large and can demand
concessions when purchasing large quantities
Ex: Jain irrigation can bargain more with steel manufacturers.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Large volume purchases by buyers are important to sellers
Ex: KPTCL and ABB.There are few buyersEx: Electricity manufacturers in KarnatakaIdentity of buyer adds prestige to sellers list
of customersEx: JK tyres and automobile manufactures
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Buyer have the ability to postpone purchases until later if they do not like the present deals being offered by sellers
Ex: BSNL postponed telecom equipment procurement.
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Bargaining power is weaker whenA. Buyer purchases in small quantityB. Buyer switching cost to competitor is
high ( Sony Explod to other music players)
C. There is a surge in buyer demand that creates seller market( Real estate)
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
d. A seller brand reputation is important to buyers
Ex: IFB washing machine whirlpool refrigerator.
5. Buyer collaboration or partnering with selected sellers provides attractive Win –win opportunities

Strategic implications of five forcesCompetitive environment is unattractive
fromthe standpoint of earning good profits when
– Rivalry is vigorous
– Entry barriers are low and entry is likely
– Competition from substitutes is strong
– Suppliers and customers have considerable bargaining power
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Competitive environment is ideal from a profit-making standpoint when
– Rivalry is moderate
– Entry barriers are high and no firm is likely to enter
– Good substitutes do not exist
– Suppliers and customers are in a weak bargaining position

Identifying Resource Strengthsand Competitive Capabilities
A strength is something a firm does well or an attribute that enhances its competitiveness–Valuable competencies or know-
how ( Pfizer)–Valuable physical assets ( Daewoo)–Valuable human assets ( Google)
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.

Competencies vs. Core Competencies vs. Distinctive Competencies
A competence is the product of organizational learning and experience and represents real proficiency in performing an internal activity
A core competence is a well-performedinternal activity central (not peripheral or incidental)to a company’s competitiveness and profitability
A distinctive competence is a competitively valuable activity a company performs better than its rivals
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Core Competencies
A competence becomes a core competence when the well-performed activity is central to a company’s competitiveness and profitability
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Examples of core competenciesExpertise in integrating multiple technologies
to create families of new products ( tata Nano)
Know-how in creating operating systemsfor cost efficient supply chain management ( Safe express)
Speeding new/next-generation products to market( Microsoft cloud)
Better after-sale service capability (General motors)
Skills in manufacturing a high quality product ( Mercedes Benz)
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Often, a core competence results from collaboration among different parts of a company
Typically, core competencies reside in a company’s people, not in assets on a balance sheet
A core competence gives a company apotentially valuable competitive capabilityand represents a definite competitive asset
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Distinctive CompetenceA distinctive competence is a competitively
significant activity that a company performs better than its competitors
A distinctive competence – Represents a competitively valuable capability rivals
do not have – Presents attractive potential for being a cornerstone of
strategy– Can provide a competitive edge in the marketplace —
because it represents a competitively superior resource strength

Identifying Resource Weaknessesand Competitive Deficiencies
A weakness is something a firm lacks, does poorly, or a condition placing it at a disadvantage
Resource weaknesses relate to– Inferior or unproven skills, expertise, or
intellectual capital ( Crompton Greeves)– Lack of important physical, organizational, or
intangible assets ( Mahindra satyam)– Missing capabilities in key areas ( Bajaj Motors)

Are the Company’sPrices and Costs Competitive?
Assessing whether a firm’s costs are competitive with those of rivals is a crucial part of company analysis
Key analytical tools
– Value chain analysis
– Benchmarking
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Value ChainA company’s business consists of all activities
undertaken in designing, producing, marketing, delivering, and supporting its product or service
A company’s value chain consists of a linked set of value-creating activities performed internally
The value chain contains two types of activitiesPrimary activities – where most of the value for
customers is createdSupport activities – facilitate performance of the
primary activities
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Why Do ValueChains of Rivals Differ?
Several factors can cause differencesin value chains of rival companies
– Internal operations
– Strategy
– Approaches used in execution of the strategy
– Underlying economics of the activities
Differences complicate task of assessingrivals’ relative cost positions

Grand Strategies Grand strategies, often called master or
business strategies, provide basic direction for strategic actions
Indicate the time period over which long-rang objectives are to be achieved
Any one of these strategies could serve as the basis for achieving the major long-term objectives of a single firm
Firms involved with multiple industries, businesses, product lines, or customer groups usually combine several grand strategies

Concentrated GrowthConcentrated growth is the strategy of the
firm that directs its resources to the profitable growth of a dominant product, in a dominant market, with a dominant technology
Concentrated growth strategies lead to enhanced performance
Specific conditions favor concentrated growth
The risks and rewards vary7-267
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Market DevelopmentMarket development commonly ranks second
only to concentration as the least costly and least risky of the 15 grand strategies
It consists of marketing present products, often with only cosmetic modifications, to customers in related market areas by adding channels of distribution or by changing the content of advertising or promotion
Frequently, changes in media selection, promotional appeals, and distribution are used to initiate this approach
7-268
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Product Development
Product development involves the substantial modification of existing products or the creation of new but related products that can be marketed to current customers through established channels
7-269
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Innovation These companies seek to reap the initially
high profits associated with customer acceptance of a new or greatly improved product
Then, rather than face stiffening competition as the basis of profitability shifts from innovation to production or marketing competence, they search for other original or novel ideas
The underlying rationale of the grand strategy of innovation is to create a new product life cycle and thereby make similar existing products obsolete
7-270
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Horizontal IntegrationWhen a firm’s long-term strategy is
based on growth through the acquisition of one or more similar firms operating at the same stage of the production-marketing chain, its grand strategy is called horizontal integration
Such acquisitions eliminate competitors and provide the acquiring firm with access to new markets
7-271
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Vertical IntegrationWhen a firm’s grand strategy is to
acquire firms that supply it with inputs (such as raw materials) or are customers for its outputs (such as warehouses for finished products), vertical integration is involved
The main reason for backward integration is the desire to increase the dependability of the supply or quality of the raw materials used as production inputs

Concentric DiversificationConcentric diversification involves the
acquisition of businesses that are related to the acquiring firm in terms of technology, markets, or products
With this grand strategy, the selected new businesses possess a high degree of compatibility with the firm’s current businesses
The ideal concentric diversification occurs when the combined company profits increase the strengths and opportunities and decrease the weaknesses and exposure to risk
7-274
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Conglomerate Diversification Occasionally a firm, particularly a very large
one, plans acquire a business because it represents the most promising investment opportunity available. This grand strategy is commonly known as conglomerate diversification.
The principal concern of the acquiring firm is the profit pattern of the venture
Unlike concentric diversification, conglomerate diversification gives little concern to creating product-market synergy with existing businesses 7-275
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
TurnaroundThe firm finds itself with declining profits Among the reasons are economic
recessions, production inefficiencies, and innovative breakthroughs by competitors
Strategic managers often believe the firm can survive and eventually recover if a concerted effort is made over a period of a few years to fortify its distinctive competences. This is turnaround.
Two forms of retrenchment: Cost reduction Asset reduction
7-276
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Elements of Turnaround
A turnaround situation represents absolute and relative-to-industry declining performance of a sufficient magnitude to warrant explicit turnaround actions
The immediacy of the resulting threat to company survival is known as situation severity
Turnaround responses among successful firms typically include two stages of strategic activities: retrenchment and the recovery response
The primary causes of the turnaround situation have been associated with the second phase of the turnaround process, the recovery response
7-277
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Divestiture
A divestiture strategy involves the sale of a firm or a major component of a firm
When retrenchment fails to accomplish the desired turnaround, or when a nonintegrated business activity achieves an unusually high market value, strategic managers often decide to sell the firm
Reasons for divestiture vary7-278
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
LiquidationWhen liquidation is the grand
strategy, the firm typically is sold in parts, only occasionally as a whole—but for its tangible asset value and not as a going concern
Planned liquidation can be worthwhile
7-279
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
BankruptcyLiquidation bankruptcy—agreeing to a
complete distribution of firm assets to creditors, most of whom receive a small fraction of the amount they are owed
Reorganization bankruptcy—the managers believe the firm can remain viable through reorganization
Two notable types of bankruptcy – Chapter 7– Chapter 11
7-280
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Joint VenturesOccasionally two or more capable firms lack
a necessary component for success in a particular competitive environment
The solution is a set of joint ventures, which are commercial companies (children) created and operated for the benefit of the co-owners (parents)
The joint venture extends the supplier-consumer relationship and has strategic advantages for both partners
7-281
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Strategic AlliancesStrategic alliances are distinguished
from joint ventures because the companies involved do not take an equity position in one another
In some instances, strategic alliances are synonymous with licensing agreements
Outsourcing arrangements vary
7-282
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.

Consortia, Keiretsus, and Chaebols Consortia are defined as large
interlocking relationships between businesses of an industry
In Japan such consortia are known as keiretsus, in South Korea as chaebols
Their cooperative nature is growing in evidence as is their market success

MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.

Selection of Long-Term Objectives and Grand Strategy Sets
When strategic planners study their opportunities, they try to determine which are most likely to result in achieving various long-range objectives
Almost simultaneously, they try to forecast whether an available grand strategy can take advantage of preferred opportunities so the tentative objectives can be met
In essence, then, three distinct but highly interdependent choices are being made at one time
7-284
MBA@GIT http://www.mba.git.edu.
© Prof. Prasad Kulkarni, Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum. [email protected].
Sequence of Selection and Strategy Objectives
The selection of long-range objectives and grand strategies involves simultaneous, rather than sequential, decisions
While it is true that objectives are needed to prevent the firm’s direction and progress from being determined by random forces, it is equally true that objectives can be achieved only if strategies are implemented

Retrenchment strategiesRetrenchment is a short-run renewal
strategy designed to overcome organizational weaknesses that are contributing to deteriorating performance.
Retrenchment strategies call for two primary actions: cost cutting and restructuring

Retrenchment strategy alternatives include shrinking selectively, extracting cash for investment in other businesses, and divestment.
restructuring involves an organization refocusing on its primary business.
Variants of Retrenchment Strategy:The three major variants of retrenchment
strategy are turnaround strategy, survival strategy and liquidation strategy.

Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited-Turnaround SuccessKirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited (KPC) was set up in 1958. It started operations with the manufacture of air compressors and pneumatic tools in collaboration with Broom and Wade Ltd., U.K. and then diversified into Airconditioning,Refrigeration and Transmission. Currently its activities are grouped into four major divisions: Air-Compressor, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration, Hydraulic Power Transmission and Process gas.

During the recession in the late 1990s, the sales bottomed out and the management realized that the business could not grow any more. This triggered a period of introspection and the company started looking inwards. Every time any business hits the bottom, there are two perspectives – external and internal. Since the management had little control over external factors, it focused on managing the internal working of the company. Fortunately, even on the external front, the company had a chance to buy out one of their major competitors – K G Khosla. The move started in 1994 when KG Khosla Company became sick and the ICICI requested the Kirloskars to manage this business. Subsequently both the companies, KPC & KG Khosla, were merged in the year 2000.

The first thing KPC management team did was to understand the business of KG lines, style of business, etc. Then it started leveraging the synergies between the two companies. Since the sales of the KPC were already bottoming out and the Khosla product line with its manufacturing facilities was added to its plant in Pune, the company was left with no other option except to cut costs across the board. By the end of 2000, the management of KPC had through an understanding with the staff at Faridabad plant of KG Khosla reduced the employee strength considerably. The VRS at Faridabad was introduced with a total understanding with the parting staff. KPC then shifted 90 people from Pune to Faridabad for about three months during which time the company saw to it that the production continued at Faridabad with these workers. After this activity at Faridabad, the company also restructured its Pune plant by reducing the strength by 650 people. The final strength of employees at both the plants after this whole downsizing exercise finally stood at 800.

The company then turned its attention on restructuring its debt to bring the interest costs down. The third element of improvement was adding new product lines to its existing range while concentrating on improving the efficiency of its existing products. As a result, KPC turned around after successful implementation of all these wellplanned initiatives during the period 1999 – 2002.

Case 2: Gillette restructuringGillette India has achieved its growth target in the most
profitable manner through strategic restructuring and functional excellence. The strategic restructuring focused on its business portfolio to identify the businesses it would like to continue and the ones it wishes to exit. Consequent to strategic restructuring, Gillette exited the Geep Battery business and the Braun business. Likewise, it discontinued all the nonprofitable and non-strategic business lines in its existing portfolio. The company also developed strategic governing statements for each of the business, which made each business extremely focused. Advertising spend was focused on the right strategic

Comprehensive profit improvement plans were put in place through promotions, SKU rationalizations, cost reduction and improved asset management. Functional excellence initiatives ensured that each and every process within the organization is benchmarked against peer group companies and process improved through a well-defined action plan.

Post Restructuring ScenarioAfter the divestiture of Geep battery business, grooming business
(blades and razors) has emerged as the single largest business – accounting for 70% of turnover. Focus has been on the premium double edge, which was declining earlier, but with focused support and advertising this product made a strong rebound. Mach III the flagship brand of the company continues to perform extremely well with its niche premium positioning. Overall, the blades and razors business has registered a 22% growth. In addition, a new product called Vector Plus has been introduced in India. The product, which is an outcome of three years of development at its Boston Research and Development Facility, is based on the Indian consumer habits.

In personal care business, the main focus was on the tube shaped gel and the Gillette Series products in aerosol, gel, foam, after-shave and splash. This segment has registered a growth of 400%. Activities aimed at preventing the growth gray market have also aided growth in this segment. The oral care strategy for India has been revised to target the mass segment. Two products have been launched - Oral-B Classic and Oral-B Plus, both positioned in the popular price segment. This business has grown by 34% during 1999. The alkaline battery segment (Duracell), accounts for a small part of turnover, but company enjoys a very high market share in the category. The strategy here would be wait and watch till the alkaline category starts growing. This business has grown at about 11% year on year.
