Strategic Insights on Market Share and Return PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 50-slide Evolution of Strategy PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework that illustrates 2 key insights related to business unit strategy, particularly focusing on the relationship between market share and rate of return. The vertical axis represents the rate of return, while the horizontal axis shows relative market share on a logarithmic scale.

Three distinct strategies are depicted:

- Operational Strategies (A), which are foundational approaches aimed at lowering costs and enhancing customer value to meet target return rates.
- Sustainable Improvements in Return (B), indicating that exceeding target returns necessitates gaining market share, often through acquisitions.
- Unsustainable Milking Strategies (C), which suggest that achieving excessive returns is typically a sign of under-investment or exploitation of existing resources, thus unsustainable in the long term.

The accompanying text emphasizes that these insights have led to the concept of strategic position being recognized as a critical driver of performance. Understanding where a business stands in relation to its market share and return is crucial for making informed strategic decisions.

The slide effectively communicates that while operational strategies are essential for achieving baseline performance, a deeper understanding of market dynamics is necessary for long-term success. It highlights the importance of balancing short-term gains with sustainable practices to avoid pitfalls associated with aggressive return strategies. This framework is valuable for executives looking to refine their strategic approach and ensure alignment with market realities.
