Global Strategies
•
•
•
Boeing – Headquartered in Chicago, Boeing employs
more than 170,000 people across the United States and
in 70 countries. Its sales and production are worldwide.
Benetton –The Italian-based fashion designer and
manufacturer has over 6,000 retail stores in more than 83
countries on every continent. Using Computer-Aided
Design (CAD) of garments along with computerized
garment cutting and assembly is the secret to a fast and
flexible manufacturing operation.
Sony – purchases components from suppliers in Thailand,
Malaysia, and around the world
Global Strategies
• Volvo – considered a Swedish company but until
recently was controlled by an American company,
Ford. The current Volvo S40 is built in Belgium
and shares its platform with the Mazda 3 built in
Japan and the Ford Focus built in Europe.
• Haier – A Chinese company, produces compact
refrigerators (it has one-third of the US market)
and wine cabinets (it has half of the US market)
in South Carolina

Reduce costs (labor, taxes, tariffs, etc.)
Improve supply chain
Provide better goods and services
Understand markets
Learn to improve operations
Attract and retain global talent
Reduce Costs
• Foreign locations with lower wage rates
can lower direct and indirect costs
– Maquiladora (Mexican border export zone,
populated by foreign owned factories)
– World Trade Organization (WTO)
– North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) - Between Canada, Mexico and
U.S.
Reduce Costs
– APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation between
the US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia,
New Zealand, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and
members of ASEAN)
– SEATO (Australia, New zealand, Japan, HongKong,
South Korea, Chile and New Guinea)
– MERCOSUR (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and
Uruguay
– European Union (EU)
Improve the Supply Chain
• Locating facilities closer to unique
resources
– Auto design to California
– Athletic shoe production to China
– Perfume manufacturing in France
Provide Better Goods
and Services
• Objective and subjective characteristics
of goods and services
– On-time deliveries
– Cultural variables
– Improved customer service
Reasons to Globalize
Understand Markets
• Interacting with foreign customers and suppliers
can lead to new opportunities
•
•
•
•
Whirlpool
refrigerators
sold in Bangkok
are bright colors.
• Extend the
• product life cycle
Learn to Improve Operations
• Remain open to the free flow of ideas
– General Motors partnered with a
Japanese auto manufacturer to learn
new approaches to production and
inventory control
– Equipment and layout have been
improved using Scandinavian ergonomic
competence
Attract and Retain Global Talent
• Offer better employment opportunities
– Better growth opportunities and
insulation against unemployment
– Relocate unneeded personnel to more
prosperous locations
Reconciling Differences in Cultural and Social Behavior is key
to the success of GLOBALIZATION EFFORTS
• Cultures can be quite different
• Attitudes can be quite different towards
 Punctuality
 Thievery
 Lunch breaks
 Bribery
 Environment
 Child labor
 Intellectual
property
Developing Missions and Strategies
Mission statements tell an
organization where it is going
The Strategy tells the organization
how to get there
Developing Missions and Strategies
• Developing a good strategy is difficult, but it is
much easier if the mission has been well
defined.
MISSION:Hard Rock Cafe
• To spread the spirit of Rock ’n’ Roll by
delivering an exceptional entertainment and
dining experience. We are committed to being
an important, contributing member of our
community and offering the Hard Rock family
a fun, healthy, and nurturing work
environment while ensuring our long-term
success.

Strategy
 Action plan to achieve
mission
 Functional areas have
strategies
 Strategies exploit
opportunities and
strengths, neutralize
threats, and avoid
weaknesses
Strategies for Competitive Advantage
• Differentiation – better, or at least
different
• Cost leadership – cheaper
• Response – rapid response
Competing on Differentiation
Uniqueness can go beyond both the
physical characteristics and service
attributes to encompass everything that
impacts customer’s perception of value
 Handmade Silk Turkish Rugs
 Walt Disney Magic Kingdom – experience differentiation
 Hard Rock Cafe – dining experience
Competing on Cost
Provide the maximum value as perceived
by customer. Does not imply low quality.
 Southwest Airlines – secondary
airports, no frills service, efficient
utilization of equipment
 Wal-Mart –small overheads, direct
shipments from manufacturers,
reduced distribution costs with faster
transportation
 Pegasus Airlines -
Competing on Response:
Flexible, Reliable and Quick Response
• Flexibility is matching market changes in design
innovation and volumes
– Products of Hewlett-Packard have a life cycle of
months
• Reliability is in meeting schedules
– German machine industry
• Quickness
in design, production,
and delivery
– Benetton, Motorola

• Only by identifying Key Success Factors(KSFs)
and Core Competencies can an organization
achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
• One of the KSFs for McDonads is layout.
• Core Competency for Honda is its gaspowered engines.
