• Strategy (M. Porter)
• Companies must be flexible to respond rapidly to competitive and market changes.
Prof. Dr. SSL {IDEA, STEM, RF, FP, C, LDV} / p. 4
• Competitive Strategy
• We should distinguish between operational effectiveness and strategy.
• Operating effectiveness
• Operating effectiveness means performing similar activities better than rivals perform them.
• Rapid diffusion of best practices
• Competitive convergence
• Strategy
• Strategic positioning means performing different things
• Performing different activities from rivals
• Performing similar activities in different ways
• Operational effectiveness is important but not enough.
• Rapid diffusion of best practices
• Competitive convergence
• Competitive strategy is about “being different”.

Prof. Dr. SSL {IDEA, STEM, RF, FP, C, LDV} / p. 13
• Roles of Technology in Technology Strategy
•②Technology & bargaining powers
• Technology & bargaining power of suppliers
• Reducing purchasing necessity from powerful suppliers
• Useful for rear integration
• Technology & bargaining power of buyers
• Affecting product differentiation and switching cost
• Useful for front integration
• Technology & bargaining power of new entrants
• Strengthening/weakening entry barrier
• Technology & bargaining power of substitutes
• Introducing new products with low price and switching cost
