Value Chain Analysis
The value chain concept developed by Michael E Porter provides as ystematic means of categorizing activities and functions of an organization, illustrating the creation of value for customers. It helps the company to determine which activities create value and which do not. When the value chain is capable of creating additional value at no additional cost, a competitive advantage is realized.
Resource-Based View Strategy
The resource-based view identifies the distinctiveness of BMW’s superior performance and competitive advantage to generate unique creations of product and service at lower cost which enables it to earn higher profits.

Generic strategy: Michael Porter developed three generic strategies, that a company could use to gain competitive advantage, back in 1980. These three are:
Cost Leadership of BMW:
Differentiation strategy of BMW:
Focus strategy of BMW:
Identification and selection of long-term objectives and strategies:

Grand strategy of BMW
Innovation: Innovation is a grand strategy that seeks to reap the premium margins associated with creation and customer acceptance of a new product or service. The underlying rationale of the innovation is to create a new product life cycle and thereby make similar existing products obsolete. But few innovative ideas prove profitable because R&D and premarketing costs of converting a promising idea into a profitable product and service are extremely high.
In this case BMW is successful enough. BMW’s brand image is tied highly to such innovation. It introduces the consumers in quick succession to the Rolls Royce, Z4 roadster, 5 series Sedan, 7 series Sedan, X3, 6 series coup, 1 series subcompact, Bavarian, M3 and so on.
It had to increase 53% R&D costs, 75% increase capital expenditures, had to build $1.5 billion factory, employ 5500 worker, train the first 400 in 2001 to produce and distribute Bavarian Giant, new model car.

Grand strategy of BMW
Vertical integration: It is a grand strategy based on the acquisition of firms that supply the acquiring firm with inputs or new customers for its outputs. BMW adopts both backward and forward vertical integration.
Backward vertical integration: To speed up the upcoming X3 to market, BMW outsourced development and production to Austria’s Magna International Inc., a unit of Canadian-based supplier and engineering services.
Forward vertical integration: BMW takes lease strategy to sell the cars. Up to 75% of its Luxury 7series Sedan and 50% of the 5series Sedan are leased in USA.

Organizational Structure:
As mentioned previously, BMW AG is headquartered in Munich and has operations around the globe. The business is headed by two boards, as is typical of German public organizations: by a Board of Management, which is responsible and accountable for the operations, and by a Supervisory Board, which meets with the Board of Management to discuss the status of strategies. The Supervisory Board has the authority to hire and fire members of the Board of Management and represents two groups, stockholders and employees, with each group comprising half of the board membership.

Strategy implementation, control and innovation:
Management Style:While management is hierarchical, each BMW employee is empowered to make decisions if they have the competency to do so. However, it is expected that decisions not be made haphazardly; planning is expected for any decision. After the purchase of Rover, BMW CFO Stefan Krause said: “We don’t want to waste money on trying things.” (Chief Executive Group L.P., 2003). Management tends to be low-key, but extremely focused, and has experience from a variety of functional areas. For example, Panke actually started his career as a nuclear physicist, hired by McKinsey & Company as a consultant for BMW before eventually being employed full-time. Panke’s management style is said to be very open and conducive in fostering debate among management to generate new ideas and to solve problems; he expects entry- level employees to raise sensitive issues through the ranks.

Strategy implementation, control and innovation:
Controls for Employee Behavior & Performance: For employees located in Germany, one-page reviews are given by supervisors. Employees are graded on five criteria:
• Work Quantity (number of projects)• Work Quality (regarding project content)• Intensity of the Work, Engagement, & Excitement• Diligence, Precision, & Accuracy• Teamwork

Recommendations
Now the recommendations based on the case analysis are as to:BMW should diversify their market,They should diversify and extend the cost-effective products lines besides the Luxurious Sedan series, Bavarian Giant and this will help them to increase sales..The BMW should not be confined to only the developed market but expand their market to developing and emerging markets like China, India. Their production and distribution facilities should not be confined only to domestic and primary markets.They should not be confined to only leasing but provide licensing and franchising agreement with foreign distributors. They should adopt consortia grand strategy because it will help them to add global partners to reduce cost.
