The Fundamental Principle -- In perfectly competitive k t fi li i fitmarkets, no firm realizes economic profits.
Economic profits are returns in excess of the opportunity cost of capital.
In the real world, product markets are rarely perfect and firms often have competitive advantage.
B dl ki fi t i fit Broadly speaking, firms may capture economic profits when there are either barriers to competition or barriers to imitation.

Slide: Buyer BP, point 1 (buyers not concentrated) Ex: Counter example McDonald’s & CokeEx: Counter example -- McDonald s & Coke
Slide: Relative Concentration Ex: Monopoly = Wintel
Competitive = PCMonopsony = Hops in mass beerMutual = military aircraft
Foundations of Strategy
Buyers have less power when ...
1. Buyers are not concentrated (no monopsony)• Many potential buyers• Each accounts for a small fraction of sales
2. Buyers have few options• Products are differentiated (low intra-industry CPE)• High switching costs (relationship-specific assets)• Buyer cannot backward integrate
3. Buyers are segmented• Price information is not widely available• Price discrimination possible• Bundling possible

Note: Big issue is concentration. Economists have long been interested in this issue…
Slid B t d C tSlide: Bertrand vs CournotNote: Both are “one-shot” games with simultaneous
moves
Note: In the end, there is wide variance across industries.Note: Consider duopolies,
Coke vs. Pepsi (favorable)Bud vs. Miller (favorable)B i Ai b ( t ti )Boeing vs. Airbus (contentious)
Note: More useful to think about two broad conditions….
Foundations of Strategy
Slide: Intensity of rivalryNote: Catch 22 -- many of the factor that lower the y
incentives to “fight” also lower barriers to entryEx: Cyclical demand (autos, hotels in college towns,
PCs)
Slide: Value of coordinationPoint: So reduce output, raise priceSlide: Illegal forms of coordination, Crandall exampleA k Wh i OPEC i ?Ask: Why is OPEC not anti-trust?Note: What is allowed is various forms of tacit collusion…

22
Rivalry is less intense when ...
1. The number of competitors is small !!!!!
2. Incentives to “fight” are low• Substantial market growth (especially if capacity constrained)• Opportunities to differentiate• Low exit costs• Little excess capacity (demand is not cyclical)
3. Coordination is feasible• Explicit price / market fixing (antitrust violation!)
• Tacit coordination (implicitly holding prices high, differentiating)

Cartels are classic examples (e.g., OPEC)
Such price-fixing is per se illegal in U.S.• No discussion of pricing allowed!!!• Includes functional equivalents• Other actions judged according to “rule of reason”
Examples of accused price-fixingIvy League financial aid• Ivy League financial aid
• U.S. airline reservation systems
Coordination is typically difficult to maintain (prisoners’ dilemma)
Structural factors may facilitate tacit coordination• Few competitors (concentration ratio)• A few dominant competitors (Herfindahl index)• Similar competitors
Facilitating devices may facilitate tacit coordination • Threat of price wars (tit-for-tat)• Best-price clauses

Complements are products for which a decrease in price will increase demand for the target product (i.e., p g p ( ,negative cross-price elasticity)Examples: computers and software, VCRs and video tapes, bread and butter (?), guns and bullets
Important issues:• Who controls complementary products?• Who has bargaining power firms in the industry • Who has bargaining power, firms in the industry
or providers of complementary products?
Institutions set “the rules of the game”• Antitrust law and enforcement• Legal barriers to entry, trade (“natural”
monopolies)• Policymaking institutions (policy stability)• Institutions may be influenced by players

Raise switching costs (e.g., frequent flyer programs)Differentiate (e.g., Swatch watches)Coordinate – tacitly of course (e.g., best-price clauses)Consolidate (e.g., telecoms industry)Integrate – vertically, that is (e.g., M&A in media)Innovate (e.g., CFCs to HCFCs)Certify / Lobby (e.g., lawyers, doctors)y y ( g , y , )
A key task in a strategic analysis is to identify and dd h i i f h li i i address the competitive forces that limit economic
rents:
• Entry is less likely when incumbent firms have a competitive advantage and can credibly retaliate against new entrants.
• Substitution is less likely when switching costs are high and cross-price elasticity is low.
• Buyer and supplier power depend on relative concentration, the viability of alternatives, and information availability.
• Rivalry is more intense when incentives to fight are large and tacit coordination is difficult.

Capability analysis helps identify a firm’s value-creating activities (i e strengths and weaknesses)creating activities (i.e., strengths and weaknesses).
Capabilities arise through the interaction of people, processes, and systems.
To provide a sustainable competitive advantage, capabilities must by well aligned internally and externally, durable, and hard to imitate.
Superior capabilities are either acquired or built and required superior know-why or know-how (or luck!).

In the beginning an era of ferment In the beginning, an era of ferment • innovation focuses on product features• is largely exploratory• often led by small entrepreneurial firms• profits are made through differentiation
and niche placement
Over time, a “dominant design” emerges Over time, a dominant design emerges • innovation shifts to process, delivery, and service• only a few large, efficient firms remain• pioneering firms often whither away

• A new technology or business model emerges– exogenous technological change (technology push)exogenous technological change (technology push)– changes in market due to consumer shifts (demand pull)
• Emergence of a new dominant designNew technologies may be worse at first!– New technologies may be worse at first!
– New technologies supplant old as they improve – Some new technologies may fail to improve fast enough and thus
disappear
• Older firms that cannot adapt are driven from the market!

No better positioned than new entrants• Innovations render existing capabilities valueless: • Innovations render existing capabilities valueless:
technologically, organizationally, and market-wise.
Worse positioned than entrants• Incumbent firms fail to see value in new innovations and
have difficulty adopting: core rigidities
Select not to change• There may be a fundamental tradeoff between short-term
and long-term competencies (e.g., cannibalization)
Innovation often requires extensive capital and expertise (not easily available to small/newly-founded firms)
Customers desire the assurance of established firms (often risk averse, unlikely to try new things)
Incumbent firms may leverage complementary resources or capabilities to their advantage
Incumbent has a “dynamic capability” to adjust to changing business conditions

imitators,competitors
Total value created by the innovation
distribution, and supporting technology)
Legal protections such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks are enforceable.
There are substantial first-mover advantages such as learning curves, customer loyalty, or branding.
Standardization is critical due to product compatibility or network externalities.
Diffusion among customers is fast (e.g., a large, l ti k t h d t t d t)lucrative market where products are easy to adopt).
Imitation by competitors is slow due to trade-secrets, technologically or socially complex innovation, or the need for specialized complementary assets.

Depends on …• How important is a complementary asset?• How important is a complementary asset?• How tightly held is the complementary asset?
Innovation strategies in one technology often require rapid innovations in complementary technologies for the consumer (and producer) to realize any benefit.
Firms can encourage complementary technology g p y gydevelopment through interface design, investments that shift incentives toward complementary innovation, protecting the profits to complementary products.

Industries evolve through life cycles.
Industries are periodically disrupted by new innovations and business models that may alter the existing competitive order.
Competitive success is often determined by how you navigate these changes over time.
S f l i i i b h h i Successful innovation requires both the capacity to innovation and the ability appropriate value from innovations.

Keeping costs lower than those of competitors to generate rents vis-à-vis the marginal producer Tend to generate rents vis-à-vis the marginal producer. Tend to
offer standardized products with broadly acceptable product features at the lowest price.
Examples: Wal-Mart, McDonald’s, Nucor, Charles Schwab
Strategic approaches:• Engage in cost cutting (e g Wal Mart)• Engage in cost-cutting (e.g., Wal-Mart)• Build market share to gain EOS (e.g., Anheuser-Busch)• Use low-cost inputs, offshoring (e.g. Wal-Mart, Dell)• Minimize overhead such as R&D, advertising (e.g., Dell)• State-of-the-art operations/continuous improvement (e.g., Nucor)

Generating rents from higher consumer willingness-to-pay Command price premium from unique features pay. Command price premium from unique features,
high quality, service and/or “prestige.”
Examples: Target, Apple, Intel, BMW, Goldman Sachs
Strategic approaches:• create brand through advertising (e.g., Nike)• develop innovative capability (e.g., Intel, Apple)• invest in human resources, R&D (e.g., Goldman)
Keeping costs lower than those of competitors in a narrow segment of the market Often used as an entry narrow segment of the market. Often used as an entry
strategy by foreign firms and new ventures into advanced markets.
Examples: Kia, generic drug manufacturers
Strategic approaches:• deter rivalry by dividing market (e.g., budget airlines)• capture narrow economies of scale (e.g., generic drugs)

What favorable strategic opportunities exist?
How contested is a position?• New markets, positions (Blue Ocean Strategy)• Existing markets and positions (Red Ocean Strategy)
Can we establish this competitive position?• Do we have the capabilities to execute especially vis-à-vis rivals?• Can we create value in unique ways versus established competitors?q y p
Can we defend this position once established?• How sustainable is any competitive advantage we may have?• How is the industry likely to evolve?
Positions, like markets, are defined both by market needs and ways of delivering on those needsneeds and ways of delivering on those needs.
Industries often have more than one rent-producing position.
Rent-producing positions rely on favorable industry structure and/or superior capabilities.
Firms can combine multiple positions, but need a p pstrategic logic for the combination.
The challenge of strategy is to capture these valuable, defensible competitive positions.

Scope refers to the businesses that a firm operates and h th th tihow they govern those operations
Often called “corporate strategy”
Scope is a question about diversification• Can the firm leverage its position across markets to garner
economic rents in individual businesses?• Do the potential benefits of diversification exceed the costs?Do the potential benefits of diversification exceed the costs?

Why do firms exist? Why is all economic activity not organized through markets?g
All economic activity is a series of “transactions” between independent economic actors.
“Ownership” imparts residual rights of control:• Ability to choose course when disagreements or unforeseen
contingences arise.
• Creates common incentives & mechanisms for coordination.
• Minimizes risks and frictions of transacting through the market.
Relationship-specific assets and hold-up (opportunism)Inseparability of effort/resources expendedContracting on information: Arrow’s paradoxPrivate information (adverse selection)Uncertainty about future contingencies
Why is all economic activity not organized in one big firm? What limits firm scope?p
Government! (Antitrust to reduce monopoly power)
Bureaucratic Costs• Coordinating layers of management in firms• Slow, inflexible decision-making• Less able to adapt quickly to market changes
Agency Costs• Organizational politics, influence games• Opportunistic behavior of managers and employees• Monitoring and sanctioning difficult

Firms expand their scope (diversify) to leverage their rent generating assets across markets and thereby rent-generating assets across markets, and thereby garner economic rents within individual markets.
Firms also diversify to protect market power, eliminate duplicate costs, and reduce transaction costs.
Firms are only one way of governing economic transactions and of achieving scope advantagestransactions and of achieving scope advantages
