S/M/72. Is a leadership or followership strategy the most profitable for research-intensive firms?
- WORDS:
- 3200
- DATE:
- 2003
- PRICE:
- 39.99 GBP
Research-intensive firms, such as Sony, IBM and Microsoft, all innovate in one way or another. However, some firms choose to be leaders and pioneers in their markets whilst others are content to follow, in some cases, simply imitating their competitors products. This paper examines these two strategies, leadership and followership, in great detail. It provides a wealth of theoretical and empirical evidence to illustrate the pros and cons of both strategies and provides brief, albeit famous case studies to help illustrate the arguments outlined. These include: a market leader, EMI, who failed to achieve dominance in the CAT scanner market, a follower, IBM, whose late entrance into the PC market secured market leadership in the wake Apples early success, and the classic case of Sony and Matsushita both fighting to establish the dominant ?standard in the VCR market.
KEYWORDS: leadership, followership, strategy, profitable, research-intensive, firms,
S/B/72. 'Corporate strategy cannot be addressed from a postmodern perspective', Critically Discuss
- WORDS:
- 3000
- DATE:
- 2002
- PRICE:
- 39.99 GBP
In order to identify whether corporate strategy can be addressed from a postmodern perspective, we first need to understand what each subject means. However when coming to a definition of both subjects there are many conflicting views and explanations. Therefore the essay will take into these views to identify the similarities and differences between corporate strategy and postmodernism. The essay will look at how corporate strategy is made up of many different levels. The extreme forms of corporate strategy will be outlined with the use of Johnson and Scholes and Mintzberg along with other information. These extremes will be compared to the extreme forms of postmodernism which have been identified by Cova and Tweeten and other information. An identification of whether there are aspects of postmodernism within these different strategy levels will be made. Using real life cases and reflecting on the events, which occurred on 11th September 2001, we will identify how different businesses use and develop strategies and whether those organisations with planned strategies perform better than those who don't. We will identify that over time organisations have changed and therefore demanded new strategies and how postmodernism has been incorporated into these new strategies. A conclusion will therefore be made as to whether strategy can be addressed from a postmodern perspective.
KEYWORDS: corporate, strategy, addressed, postmodern, perspective, critically, discuss,
