This PPT slide, part of the 178-slide Complete Strategic Management Consulting Guide and Toolkit PowerPoint presentation, presents a strategic analysis of the market dynamics between Airbus and Boeing, focusing on how Airbus altered the payout matrix through a commitment strategy that incorporates contractual penalties. The left side of the slide illustrates the payout matrix prior to Airbus's commitment, highlighting 2 Nash equilibria where each company could enter the market once. The values indicate potential outcomes based on their decisions to enter or not enter the market.

The right side shows the modified payout matrix after Airbus's commitment, which introduces a $2 billion penalty for non-performance. This adjustment creates a more complex decision-making environment for Boeing. The matrix now reflects the consequences of market entry decisions under the new commitment framework. If Boeing enters the market first, it faces a high-risk scenario, as the commitment from Airbus generates significant costs if it opts out of market entry.

The analysis suggests that Airbus's strategic move effectively deters Boeing from entering the market, as the potential losses for Boeing increase under the new conditions. The slide emphasizes the importance of understanding how strategic commitments can reshape competitive interactions and market outcomes. For potential customers, this insight underscores the value of strategic decision-making frameworks in navigating complex market environments. The implications of such a commitment strategy could be critical for firms looking to enhance their positioning and mitigate risks in competitive scenarios.
