What happened to  Prof.  Cielak?

• The pancreas is a  large gland behind the stomach and  next to  thesmall intestine.  The pancreas does two main things:• It releases powerful digestive  enzymes into the small intestine to  aidthe digestion of  food.• It releases the hormones insulin and  glucagon into the bloodstream.  These hormones  help the body control  how it uses  food for energy.• Pancreatitis is a  disease in  which the pancreas becomes inflamed.  Pancreatic damage happens when the digestive enzymes are  activated before they are  released into the small intestine and  beginattacking the pancreas.

Page 4: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

What happened to  Prof. AY Cielak?

• Acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis  is a  sudden inflammation thatlasts for a  short  time.  It may range frommild discomfort to  a  severe,  life-­‐threatening illness.  Most people with acute pancreatitis  recovercompletely after getting the right treatment.  In  severe cases,  acutepancreatitis  can  result in  bleeding into the gland,  serious tissuedamage,  infection,  and cyst formation.  Severe pancreatitis  can  alsoharm other vital  organs such as  the heart, lungs,  and kidneys.

Page 6: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors impacting entering markets

• The segmentation of  customers process• Methods of  integration

• Culture• Economics• PEST• AIDA

Page 7: Cuernavaca monday sep 28
Page 8: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

• Why  do  some  customers  cost  more  than  others  to  serve?

• Are  loyal  customers  more  profitable  than  others?

• What  is  the  process  companies  use  to  manage  customer  relationships?    

Page 9: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Knowledge-­‐Based   Economy• Intangible  resources  are  the  source  of  competitive  advantage

• Information  and  knowledge  can  be  shared  • These  resources  grow  through  use  and  application  

• Communication  is  fundamental  to  knowledge  flows.• Factors  influencing  social  relations  are  of  fundamental  importance.  

Page 10: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Knowledge-­‐Based   Economy

• The  effect  of  geographic  location  varies:

• Diminished  when  using  technology,  say,  virtual  marketplaces  and  virtual  organizations

• Reinforced  by  the  creation  of  industry  clusters  to  achieve  world-­‐wide  excellence.  

Page 11: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Knowledge-­‐Based   Economy

• Knowledge  and  information  "leak"  to  where  demand  is  highest  and  the  barriers  are  lowest.  

• The  value  of  knowledge  is  higher  embedded  in  systems  or  processes• Don’t  let  it  "walk  out  of  the  door"  in  people's  heads

Page 12: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Knowledge-­‐Based   Economy• Products/services  with  embedded  knowledge  command  price  premiums.  

• Pricing  and  value  depends  heavily  on  context.    • The  same  information  or  knowledge  can  have  vastly  different  value  depending   on  the  person  and  the  time.

• Human  capital  (competencies)  are  a  key  component  of  value  • Yet  downsizing   is  often  seen   as  a  positive   "cost  cutting"  measure.  

Page 13: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Globalization• “Flattening”  of  the  world• Computer  networking  • Communications  technologies• The  Internet• Enhanced  transportation

• Globalization  +  Knowledge  based  economy  =  

COLLABORATION

Distribution

Customers

Competitors

 

Page 16: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Types  of  Partnerships  Vertical

• Vertical  partnerships:    formed  between  different  levels  of  the  supply  chain

• Buyer-­‐supplier  relationships• Supplier  – OEM  customers

• Efficiencies  in  accessing  materials• Collaborate  to  innovate,  differentiating  end  product

• Outsource  service  providers  – business  customers  

Page 17: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Types  of  Partnerships  Vertical

• Manufacturers  – distribution  channel  members• Access  to  downstream  markets• Relay  market  information

• Companies  – customers  (end-­‐users)• Relationship  marketing  • Long-­‐term  revenue  stream• Source  of  market  information

Page 18: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Types  of  Partnerships  –Horizontal

• Horizontal  partnershipsformed  between  firms  that  operate  at  the  same  level  of  the  supply  chain  

• Complementors  

• Competitors  

Page 19: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

• Complementary  Alliances  • Form  with  companies   offering  different  components   of  the  end-­‐to-­‐end  solution

• Allows  each  to  maintain   focus  on  own  core  competencies• Stimulates   demand  through  greater  customer  value

• Competitive  Alliances• “Competitive   collaboration;”   “co-­‐opetition”• Compete   in  some  market  domains,   collaborate   in  others

Page 20: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Horizontal  Partnerships  and  Financial  Performance

• Higher  financial  performance  from  competitive  alliance  activity  when:    • Moderate   level  of  competitive   alliance   activity   (versus  low  or  high)  • More  sophisticated   competitor   strategies/knowledge• Win/win  approach  (versus  win/lose)

Page 21: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Types  of  Partnerships  –Horizontal

• Industry  consortium:  industry-­‐wide  coalition  typically  comprised  of  competitors  who  have  a  shared  interest

• Set  industry  standards• Influence  government  regulations• Pursue  international  markets• Develop  metrics  for  sustainability

Page 22: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Reasons  for  Partnering

• Gain  access   to  resources  and  skills  in  a  timely,  more  cost-­‐efficient  manner

• Reasons  vary  over  the  product  life  cycle  (next  slide)

Page 23: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Page 25: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product  Life  Cycle-­Emergence  Stage

• Uncertainty  surrounds  product

• Purchasers  are  innovators  and  technology  enthusiasts• Willing  to  take  risks• Require  accurate  portrayal  of  benefits  and  liabilities  of  the  innovation• Require  technically  knowledgeable  support• Want  new  technology  early  and  at  a  low  cost

Page 26: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product  Life  Cycle-­Emergence  Stage

• Why  Partner?

• Alliances  are  valuable  among  potential  competitors  to  establish  industry  standards  with:

• Licensing  agreements• Strategic  alliances• Diversification  into  complementary  products• Aggressive  product  positioning

(details  on  following  slides)

Page 27: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product  Life  Cycle-­Partnering  in  the  Emergence  Stage

• Advantages  of  licensing  strategy

• Ensures  a  wide  supply  base  for  the  technology• Limits   the  number  of  technologically   incompatible   product  choices   for  customers• Hastens  market  acceptance

• Signals  the  possibility   of  a  larger  installed   base• Provides   incentives  for  suppliers  of  complementary  products   to  pursue  development

Page 28: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product  Life  Cycle-­Partnering  in  the  Emergence  Stage

• Drawbacks  of  licensing  strategy

• May  attempt  to  alter  the  technology  to  avoid  paying  licensing  fees  or  royalties

• Original  developer   loses   a  possible   monopoly  position• Competition   may  lead  to  lower  prices   in  the  market

Page 29: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product  Life  Cycle-­Partnering  in  the  Emergence  Stage

• Strategic  Alliance:  cooperative  agreement  with  actual/potential  competitor(s)  to  jointly  sponsor  development  of  a  technological  standard

Advantages:• Help  ensure  a  wide  supply  base  for  the  technology• Build  positive   expectations   for  market  demand• Co-­‐opt  competitors• Reduce  confusion   in  marketplace• Combined   knowledge  may  produce  superior  product

Page 30: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product  Life  Cycle-­Partnering  in  the  Emergence  Stage

• Strategic  Alliance

Drawbacks:• Partner  may  appropriate  the  firm’s  know-­‐how  in  an  opportunistic   fashion

Page 31: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

“Go  it  alone”  strategies  for  standard-­‐setting

• Diversification  • Company  offers  multiple   elements   of  the  whole  product  solution  • Ex:    iPod/iTunes

• Aggressive  Product  Positioning  • Company  maximizes   size  of  installed   base  by  penetration   pricing,  wide  distribution,   and  many  models/versions   of  product  

Both  strategies   have  pros/cons

Page 32: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Which  Strategy  to  Set  Industry  Standard?

Barriers to Imitation

Firm has Requisite Skills

Existence of Capable Competitors

Aggressive Sole Provider High Yes No

Passive Multiple Licensing Low No Yes

Aggressive Positioning + Licensing

Low Yes Yes

Selective Partnering High No Yes

Page 33: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product   Life  Cycle-­Growth  Stage• Dominant  design  becomes  industry  standard

• License   to  competitors• Form  R&D  alliances   to  develop  product  extensions• Form  marketing   alliances   to  access   new  markets

• Early  adopters• Needs   increasingly   clear• Can  envision  the  potential   of  the  new  technology

• Least  price  sensitive• In  a  hurry  to  reap  rewards

• Process  technology  replaces  innovation  in  importance

Page 34: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product  Life  Cycle-­Maturity  Stage

• High  sales  volume  and  revenue  but  slower  growth• Mass-­‐market  adopters• Process  innovation  dominates  to  achieve  cost  controls• Outsourced  relationships• Marketing  alliances

Page 35: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

The  Product  Life  Cycle-­Decline  Stage

• Product  replaced  by  new  technologies

• License  disruptive  technology  from  a  new  competitor

• Cycle  begins  again

Page 36: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Reasons  to  Partner

• Access  resources  and  skills

• Gain  cost  efficiencies

• Speed  time-­‐to-­‐market

• Access  new  markets

• Define  industry  standards

Page 37: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Reasons  to  Partner  (cont.)

• Develop  innovations  and  new  products

• Develop  complementary  products

• Gain  market  clout

• Maintain  focus  on  core  competencies  

• Learn  from  partners  

Page 38: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Risks  in  Partnering

• Increase  project  complexity  

• Loss  of  autonomy  and  control

• Decisions  must  be  made  jointly

• Success  dependent  on  another’s  efforts

• Loss  of  trade  secrets• Attempts  to  “disarm”  competition

• Dilution  of  competitive  advantage/  “de-­‐skilling”

Page 39: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Risks  in  Partnering

• Legal  issues  and  antitrust  concerns• Collaboration  is  necessary  to  compete  globally

• Therefore,   antitrust   laws  may  encourage   partnering

• Collaboration  may  decrease  domestic  competition

• Partnerships   may  come  under   scrutiny,• Especially   if  they  have  an  indirect   impact  on  pricing

Page 40: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Risks  in  Partnering

• Failure  to  achieve  objectives

• Incompatible   cultures

• Lack  of  attention/resources   in  managing  the  relationship

• Trust  issues

Page 41: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success

• Interdependence• Shared  mutual  dependencies  provide  motivation  for  partnership  success  

• Asymmetrical  dependence  leads  to  vulnerability  and  possible  exploitation  • Caution  warranted  with  partners  of  unequal   size

• Low  levels   of  interdependence   provide  no  motivation   to  relationship  

Page 42: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success• Governance  Structure• Terms,  conditions,  systems,  and  processes  used  to  manage  the  alliance• Unilateral:    one  party  has  authority  to  make  decisions• Bilateral:    governance  based  on  mutual  expectations  regarding  behaviors  and  activities• Commitment• Trust• Communication

• Governance  structure  should  match  the  partnership’s  risk  level

Page 43: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success• Commitment• Desire  to  continue  the  relationship• Committed  members  are  less  likely  to  • take  advantage  • make  decisions  that  sabotage    viability  of  relationship

• Demonstrated  by• Investments  dedicated  solely  to  the  relationship

Page 44: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

• Types  of  Commitment  • Economic  need  (“have  to  be  committed”)  

• Does  not   lead  to  partnership  success

• Voluntary  desire   (“want  to  be  committed”)• Based  on  positive  feeling  and  regard  for  partner’s  contributions  • Associated  with  partnership  success  

• Moral  obligation   (“ought  to  be  committed”)

Page 45: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success

• Trust  • Belief  that  partner’s  decisions  will  serve  best  interest  of  the  partnership• Partner  will  act  honestly  and  benevolently  • Trust  in  the  partner’s  motives  and  intents  

• Trust  contributes  to  • Effective  information  sharing• Willingness  to  share  scarce/sensitive  resources• Sense  of  mutual  benefit  

Page 46: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success

• Effective  Communication  • Frequent  sharing• Includes  proprietary  information• Bidirectional  (two-­‐way)  communication• Credible  and  reliable• Both  structured  and  ad  hoc  communication

Page 47: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success• Perceived  relationship  fairness  

3  Types  of  fairness• Distributive:   fairness   in  the  distribution   of  awards

• Procedural:  fairness   of  the  process  to  determine   distribution   of  rewards

• Interactional:   fairness  of  the  nuances   of  interpersonal  treatment

Procedural   fairness   more   important   than  distributive   fairness  for  long-­‐term   relationship   success.    

Page 48: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success

• Compatible  Corporate  Cultures• Different  values  and  beliefs  about  how  things  are  done  

• Some  companies  have  reputations  as  being  hard  to  partner  with  

• If  corporate  cultures  clash,  hard  to  realize  partnership  benefits.    

Page 49: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success• Integrative  conflict  resolution  and  negotiation  techniques• Conflict  resolution  technique  more  important  than  the  level  of  conflict  per  se.    

• Integrative  resolution   based  on:    • Both  parties  have  a  shared  stake   in  the  outcome• Addressing  needs  of  both  parties• Identifying  mutually  beneficial  solution   (win/win)  

• Escalate   conflict  beyond  the  operational   level  to  senior   level• Negotiation   is  cheaper  than   legal  recourse

Page 50: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Factors  Contributing  to  Partnership  Success• Judicious  Use  of  Legal  Contracts• Contracts  may  violate  the  spirit  of  cooperation,  but

• Contracts  may  also  clarify  obligations  and  expectations  

• Contracts  should  be  used  in  combination  with  bilateral  governance  

Page 51: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

• “Spirit  of  cooperation”  is  key  

• Develop  competency   in  partnering  • “cooperative  competency;”   “alliance   competence;”  “partnering  orientation”  

Page 52: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing  • High  Risk/High  Opportunity  Vertical  Partnerships• Transfer  an  entire  business  function  to  a  partner

• Types  of  Outsourcing• Contract  manufacturing  • BPO:  Business   Process  Outsourcing• ITO:  Information  Technology  Outsourcing• Innovation  Outsourcing

• R&D,  Product  development,  Design• ODM  Model:  Original  design  manufacturer

Page 53: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing  

• Benefits: Gain  access  to  expert  performance

• Provider  has  refined  knowledge   in  a  specific   function

• Scale  economies• Cost  efficiencies

• Maintain  focus  on  true  core  competencies

• Offshoring• Performing  functions  outside   of  client’s  home  country

• Captive  Offshoring• Company-­‐owned  facilities   in  another  country

• Reverse  outsourcing• An  outsourced  company  opens  an  office  in  original  country

Page 57: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Reasons  and  Risks  

Page 59: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Reasons  

• Cost  Savings• Contract  manufacturing  in  particular• Driven  by  economies  of  scale• Volume  discounts• Supply  chain  efficiency

• Hone  core  competencies• Outsource  non-­‐essential   tasks

Page 60: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Reasons  

• Capabilities  of  Outsource  Providers• Skilled,  low-­‐cost  talent  pool

• Technology  Developments• Easier  for  companies   to  communicate  with  remote  outsource  providers

• Mitigate  HR  Management  Issues• Overhead-­‐ pension   plans,   insurance,  etc.

Page 61: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Reasons  

• Other  general  trends• Globalization• Competitive  intensity• Time/Cost  pressures

Page 62: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Risks

• Cost  Savings  Don’t  Materialize• Difficult  to  calculate  true  cost  in  advance

• Quality  Concerns• 1-­‐800  numbers:  endless   transfers,  confusion• Suppliers  don’t  understand  customer’s   business

• Dependence  on  Vendor• “Switching  costs”

Page 63: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Risks

• Dilution  of  Competitive  Advantage• Less  differentiation  from  competitor• “hollowed  out”

• Risk  of  Fostering  New  Competition• Sharing  trade  secrets

• Public  Backlash• Political   issue

Page 67: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Task  Characteristics• Economies  of  scale

• Can  the  function  be  aggregated  across  customer/OEM  businesses?

• If  not:    don’t  outsource• Transfer  of  explicit,  codified  knowledge

• Can  the  function  be  clearly  mapped  and  communicated   to  outsource  provider?

• If  not:    don’t  outsource• Clearly  specified  ownership  of  intellectual  property  rights/risks• Can  intellectual   rights/responsibilities   be  clearly  articulated?• If  not:    don’t  outsource

Page 68: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Task  Characteristics• Vendor  Capabilities

• What  are  the  specific  capabilities   to  perform  the  task?    • Does  the  provider  have  the  requisite   capabilities   to  perform  them?  

• Governance• Particularly   important  for  R&D  alliances  • Controls  can  limit   innovation  but  are  necessary  • Controls  should  be  “ex  ante”  (before  the  work)  rather  than  “ex  post”  (during  the  work)  

Page 69: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Best  Practices• Have  clear  reasons  to  outsource

• Not:    “my  competitors   are”

• Don’t  outsource  a  mess• Map  workflow/process  carefully

• Set  up  the  right  type  of  outsource  relationship• Maybe  captive  offshoring,  etc.  

• Be  ready  for  possible  backlash• Invest  time  and  effort  to  make  it  work• Treat  partners  as  equals

Page 70: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Outsourcing:  Future  Outlook

• Continued  evolution

• Globally• Migration  to  low-­‐cost  areas

• Politically• Rhetoric  of  lost  jobs• Mitigate  with  educated  work  force

• Managerially• Balance  in-­‐house,   strategic  alliances,  outsourcing

Page 71: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Open  Innovation• Breakthrough  innovations  developed  by  an  “innovation  ecosystem”• A  global  network  of  partners  – suppliers,  customers,  competitors• Innovation  based  on  collaboration  and  sharing  of  expertise  and  knowledge  between  partners

• Innovation  processes  transcend  local  industry  clusters  and  national  boundaries

• Driving  Factors• Complexity  and  uncertainty  of  R&D• Globalization  of  industries• Convergence  of  technologies• Resource  constraints

Page 72: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

New  Product  Alliances• Unique  form  of  strategic  alliance  to  generate  innovation  • Paradox:    

• “Logic  of  innovation”  • Spontaneous,   serendipitous   insights

• “Logic  of  alliances”  • Detail  roles  and  responsibilities  • Formalized  collaborative  arrangements

• Sharing  of  knowledge  and  expertise  requires  trust,  but:    • Many  strategic  alliances   lack  trust

Page 73: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

New  Product  Alliances

• Success:  • Spirit  of  cooperation• Governance  

• Horizontal  (competitive)  partners  reluctant  to  share  knowledge,  but  their  innovations  exhibit:    • High  levels   of  product  creativity• Fast  development   speed

• Geographic  proximity  does  not  inhibit  information  sharing  as  long  as:  • Partners  have  close,  relational   ties

Page 74: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Industry  Clusters

• Geographic  concentrations  of  companies  in  a  particular  industry• Silicon  Valley   in  California  • Often  highly   innovative,  due  to:  

• Enhanced  knowledge  sharing  • Economies  in  infrastructure,  talent,  and  social  relationships

Page 75: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Learning  from  Partners

• Knowledge  sharing  key  to  success  of  open  innovation  model  • Learning  can  contribute  to  positive  relationship  outcomes,  but:  

• Can  also  result   in  “de-­‐skilling”   of  partner  with  loss  of  proprietary  information.  

• To  learn  “tacit  knowledge,”  firms  must  have  close  partnering  relationships—• Which  increases   the  risk  of  those  partnerships

Use  caution   and  appropriate   governance   structures.

Page 76: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

Customer  Relationship  Management  (CRM)

• Marketing   is  used  to  develop  close,   long-­‐term  relationships  with  customers

• Win-­‐win  solutions

• Customers  as  investments• Acquisition   cost/customer=  

(total  cost  of  marketing   campaign)  /  (#  of  prospects  who  become   customers)

Page 77: Cuernavaca monday sep 28

CRM

• Customer  equity:  • net  present  value  of  the  cash  flows  associated  with  a  customer

• Lifetime  value  =  customer  equity

• Net  present  value  cash  inflows  >  present  value  of  cash  outflows
