3rd day @ krems – Strategic Management

07:00 get up for jogging, 5km through the nice old town of krems

09:00 strategic management – professor stockport

We are doing a nice case study about airtransport deregulation efforts in australia during the late 1980´s.

We´re doing a 5 forces analysis – a toolset developed by michael porter – of this case study. there are two issues with that toolset, first of all it is static in time, and second of all there is an issue with business boundries.

An important outcome for me is the following sentence:

Price is never an strategic issue, it is only a variable of marketing costs.

Next Theory we´re playing with is game theory – it´s all about PARTS. we go through different models like egocentric and allocentric games. Great ideas about changing the game from playing win – loose games to win – win situations like cooptition.

We learned that price wars are not a good option for capturing the value – so it´s better sometimes to

Raise the fog

After looking onto a nice Michael Porter Video about his 5 Force Analysis we´re getting again to the core of strategic management, it´s all about

Creating Value and capturing it.

if the businesses are not capable of capturing it, it is a industry which is not favourable and we should focus on a strategy for improving this. For example frequent flyer programs of airlines or credit card programms are solutions for getting out of the price war trap.

we finished with a video about apricot computer, which has three different lines of business but one of them is in a quite bad shape.

Business is very often about killing your favorite child to save the family.

a hard lesson to learn.

20:30 Weingut Nigl – after a hard day some nice food.
