Chapter 6
Corporate-Level Strategy
Knowledge Objectives
• Studying this chapter should provide you with the strategic management knowledge needed to:
– Define corporate-level strategy and discuss its importance to the diversified firm.
– Describe the advantages and disadvantages of single- and dominant- business strategies.
– Explain three primary reasons why firms move from single- and dominant-business strategies to more diversified strategies.
– Describe how related diversified firms create value by sharing or transferring core competencies.
Figure 1.1
– The scope of the industries and markets in which the firm competes
– How managers buy, create and sell different businesses to match skills and strengths with opportunities presented to the firm

Diversification:

Copyright © Amity University
Amity Center for eLearning
Related Diversification
• Firm creates value by building upon or
extending its:
– Resources
– Capabilities
– Core competencies
• Economies of scope
– Cost savings that occur when a firm transfers
capabilities and competencies developed in one of
its businesses to another of its businesses
Sharing Activities
• Operational Relatedness
– Created by sharing either a primary activity such
as inventory delivery systems, or a support activity
such as purchasing
– Activity sharing requires sharing strategic control
over business units
– Activity sharing may create risk because business-
unit ties create links between outcomes
TransferringCorporateCompetencies
• Corporate Relatedness
– Using complex sets of resources and
capabilities to link different businesses
through managerial and technological
knowledge, experience, and expertise
Corporate Relatedness
• Creates value in two ways:
– Eliminates resource duplication in the need to
allocate resources for a second unit to develop a
competence that already exists in another unit
– Provides intangible resources (resource
intangibility) that are difficult for competitors to
understand and imitate
• A transferred intangible resource gives the unit
receiving it an immediate competitive
advantage over its rivals
RelatedDiversification: Complexity
• Simultaneous Operational Relatedness
and Corporate Relatedness
– Involves managing two sources of
knowledge simultaneously:
• Operational forms of economies of
scope
• Corporate forms of economies of scope
– Many such efforts often fail because of
implementation difficulties
Unrelated Diversification
• Financial Economies
– Are cost savings realized through improved
allocations of financial resources
• Based on investments inside or outside the firm
– Create value through two types of financial
economies:
• Efficient internal capital allocations
• Purchasing other corporations and restructuring
their assets
UnrelatedDiversification(cont’d)
• Efficient Internal Capital Market Allocation
– Corporate office distributes capital to business
divisions to create value for overall company
• Corporate office gains access to information
about those businesses’ actual and prospective
performance
– Conglomerates have a fairly short life cycle
because financial economies are more easily
duplicated by competitors than are gains from
operational and corporate relatedness
UnrelatedDiversification: Restructuring
• Restructuring creates financial economies
– A firm creates value by buying and selling other
firms’ assets in the external market

Review of the Basics
What is Strategy?
• The creation of a unique and valuable position
involving a different set of activities from those
of your competitors.
• …choosing what to do and what not to do.
