Strategic Game Board: Formulating Competitive Strategies PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 178-slide Complete Strategic Management Consulting Guide and Toolkit PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for understanding the formulation of alternative strategies within a strategic game board context. It emphasizes 2 key questions: where the sought advantage lies and how it is pursued. The structure is divided into 3 main sections, each addressing critical aspects of strategic positioning.

The first section, labeled "Where is the competitive advantage sought?", prompts executives to consider the specific market segments targeted. This includes the total market and the extended market, indicating a broad view of potential opportunities. The segmentation allows for a nuanced understanding of where differentiation can be achieved.

The second section, "How is the competitive advantage sought?", focuses on the methods of achieving that advantage. It highlights 2 primary approaches: differentiation and cost/price leadership. This suggests a dual strategy that can be employed depending on market conditions and organizational strengths.

The visual layout, with its clear delineation of concepts, aids in quickly grasping the strategic considerations at play. The terms "New Game" and "Old Game" imply a dynamic environment where strategies may need to evolve over time. This is crucial for executives who must adapt to shifting market conditions.

Overall, the slide serves as a concise guide for executives to reflect on their strategic choices. It encourages a thorough evaluation of both market positioning and the methods for gaining an edge. This framework can be instrumental for organizations looking to refine their strategic approach in a competitive environment.
