Strategic orientation
Mehak Athar
![Page 10: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Strategic Orientation
MNE’s have strategic predisposition. This predisposition helps to determine the specific decisions the firm will implement. There are four predispositions which as follows
EthnocentricPolycentricRegion centricGeocentric
![Page 11: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ethnocentric
The tendency of Multinational Company to relay on the value and interest of the parent company in formulating and implementing the strategic plan.
Example: Lays (Pepsi & co.)
![Page 12: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Polycentric
The tendency of a MNC to tailor its strategic plan to meet the needs of the local culture.
The concept of Glocal ( Global + local)Example: Lays (Halal)
![Page 13: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Region centric
The tendency of a MNC to use a strategy that address both local and regional.
Example: Carbonated components %age in
Pepsi drinks.
![Page 14: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Geocentric
The tendency of a MNC to construct its strategic plan with a global view of operations.
Example: Pepsi Strategies , Uniliver , McDonald.

Strategy formulation and external environment assessment
Nouman Riaz
![Page 16: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Strategy formulation
“process of evaluating the firm’s environment and its internal strengths”Strategy formulation starts with the identification of:External environment and opportunitiesInternal strengths
![Page 17: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
External environmental assessment
Two activities are involved in external environment assessment Information gathering Information assessment
These activities answer two questions:1. What trends are present in external environment?2. How will these developments affect our company?
![Page 18: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Information gathering
Competitive intelligenceFour methods of environmental scan:1. Asking experts for industry trends and forecasting
future2. Using historical industry trends to predict future3. Asking knowledgeable managers4. Using computers to pretend the environment
![Page 19: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Informations assessment
After gathering information MNC will analyze the data and draw evaluation.
Five forces that determine industry competitiveness:
1. Bargaining power of buyers
2. Bargaining power of suppliers
3. New entrants
4. Threats of substitutes
5. Rivalry a) Offering new goods b) Increasing productivity and lowering cost c) Differentiate goods and services
d) Increasing overall quality e) specific groups
![Page 20: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Porter five forces model (cont.…)
1- Bargaining Power of Buyers: HIGH number of substitute products Customer in beverage industry is price sensitive Consumer can switch to an other company
2- Bargaining Power of Suppliers: LOW Number of suppliers are available Main ingredients of carbonated water are same so supplier cannot differentiate Supplier wont lose a huge market share i.e. Pepsi Co
![Page 23: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Porter five forces model (cont.…)
3- Threats of New Entrants: LOW Already number of different companies are existing Few MNC’s hold a large market share High initial cost
4- Threat of Substitute: HIGH Many substitutes are available Pepsi Co has different product lines so different competitors
5- Rivalry among Existing Competitors: VERY HIGH Some companies have controlled the market High competition from competitors i.e. Coca Cola.

Goal settings
Adnan Siddique
![Page 40: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Goal setting
The external and internal environmental analyses will provide an MNE with the information needed for setting goals. There are two basic ways of examining the goals or
objectives of international business operations.
![Page 41: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
One is to review them on the basis of operating performance or functional area. Some of the major goals are related to profitability, marketing, production, finance, and human resources.
A second way is to examine these goals by geographic area or on an SBU basis.
Then there are accompanying functional goals for marketing ,production ,and finance. If the MNE has SBUs , each strategic business unit in these geographic locales will have its own list of goals.
![Page 42: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Cascading EffectA succession of stages, processes, operations, or units.
Each geographic area or Business unit is then assigned a profitability goal that, if attained, will result in the MNE reaching its overall
desired profitability. The same approach is used in other key areas such as
marketing, production, and finance. Within each unit, these objectives are further subdivided so that every part of the organization understands its objectives and every one is working toward the same overall goals.

Strategy Implementation
The process of attaining goals by using the organizational structure to execute the formulated strategy properly
![Page 46: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Main focused areas of strategy Implementation
There are three main focus areas for strategy implementation:LocationOwnership(international joint venture &
Strategic Alliances)Functional strategy Implementation
![Page 47: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Location
Location is when MNC expands its international presence.Benefits : Local facilities provide cost advantage to the producer So the raw material and labor needed to produce the
product can be inexpensively obtained Residents prefer locally produced products Imported goods are subjected to tariffs, quotas and other
governmental restrictions making local manufacturers more desirable.
![Page 48: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Location
Drawbacks:Unstable political environment
leaves MNE vulnerable to low profit.Possibility of revolution or armed
conflict
![Page 49: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Ownership
Ownership decisions are of two types:1. International joint venture2. Strategic AllianceInternational joint venture(IJV) is an agreement between two or more partners to own and control an overseas business (setting up a new business entity).Benefits: Government encouragement and legislation that are designed to
make it attractive for foreign investors to bring in local partners
![Page 50: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Ownership
Desire by outside investors to find local collaboration with whom they can team up effectively
Drawbacks :Joint ventures are difficult to manage and are unstableExample: PepsiCo and Unilever Create 'Pepsi Lipton International'
RTD Tea Joint Venture in Selected International Markets IDJ-International Dairy & Juice ( A Joint Venture Of
PepsiCo & Almarai )
![Page 51: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Ownership
Strategic Alliance:It is an agreement between two or more competitive MNEs for the purpose of serving a global marketStrategic partnerships are formed by firms in the same line of businesses.Example : PepsiCo's new strategic alliance with leading local drink
makers Tingyi-Ashani Beverages(TAB). PepsiCo's strategic alliance with Starbucks

Functional strategies

Functional Strategies
Functional strategies are used to coordinate operations and ensure that the plan is carried out properly. The specific functions typically fall into six major areas: 1. Marketing 2. Manufacturing 3. Finance 4. Procurement 5. Technology 6. Human resources.
![Page 54: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Marketing
The marketing strategy is designed to identify consumer needs and formulate a plan of action for selling the desired goods and services to these customers. Most marketing strategies are built around what is commonly known as the “four Ps” of marketing:
Product, Price, Promotion, and Place. Marketing Strategy apprises the manufacturing department of any
modifications needed to meet local needs, and it determines the price at which the goods can be sold.
![Page 55: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Manufacturing
Designed to fit together with the marketing plan The manufacturing strategy ensures that the right products are built and
delivered in time for sale. Manufacturing also coordinates its strategy with the procurement and
technology people to ensure that the desired materials are available and the products have the necessary state-of-the-art quality.
If the MNE is producing goods in more than one country, it gives attention to coordinating activities where needed.
![Page 56: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Finance
Financial strategy often serves to both lead and lag the other functional strategies. In the lead position, finance limits the amounts of money that can be spent on
marketing (new product development, advertising, promotion) and manufacturing (machinery, equipment, quality control) to ensure that the desired return on investment is achieved.
In the lag position, the financial strategy is used to evaluate performance and provide insights into how future strategy should be changed.
Financial strategies used to be formulated and controlled out of the home office. In recent years, however, MNEs have learned that this approach can be cumbersome and, due to fluctuating currency prices, costly as well.

Control and evaluation
The strategy formulation and implementation processes are a prelude to control and evaluation.
This process involves an examination of the MNE’s performance for the purpose of determining: how well the organization has done; what actions should be taken in the light of this
performance.
![Page 59: International business project on mnc by muhammad talha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2ac871a28ab81588b458d/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Common methods of measurement
Six of the most common methods of measurement used for control and evaluation purposes: return on investment (ROI) sales growth and/or market share costs new product development MNE/host-country relations management performance.
