This PPT slide, part of the 69-slide Corporate Strategy Primer PowerPoint presentation, presents a comparative analysis of 3 corporate strategy frameworks: the Growth/Share Matrix, the Core Competence Concept, and Parenting Advantage. Each framework is evaluated based on its main lesson, unit of analysis, and focus of analysis.

The Growth/Share Matrix emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced business portfolio that includes a mix of "stars," "cash cows," and "question marks." This approach encourages executives to assess their business units in terms of market growth and relative market share, guiding resource allocation decisions.

The Core Competence Concept shifts the focus to the technical and operational strengths of the organization. It suggests that businesses should concentrate on their core competencies, developing structures and systems that enhance these strengths. This framework promotes a deeper understanding of how internal capabilities can drive business success.

Parenting Advantage, on the other hand, centers on the value that a parent organization can add to its subsidiaries. It highlights the necessity for the parent to provide more value than any other potential parent. This framework underscores the relationship between the parent organization and its individual businesses, focusing on how the parent can leverage its resources and expertise to enhance the performance of its subsidiaries.

Overall, the slide illustrates distinct strategic lenses through which organizations can evaluate their business units. Each framework offers unique insights that can inform decision-making processes, particularly in resource allocation and operational focus. Understanding these frameworks can help executives identify the most effective strategies for optimizing their corporate portfolio.
