Values What we believe in and how we behave
Vision What we want to be

What matters for success?
Companies most successful in creating long-termshareholder value are typically those that:
a) Have a vision and mission—They give precedence to purpose and goals other than profitability and shareholder return
b) Have strong, consistent, ethical values
Examples: • “Visionary”, e.g., Disney, HP, IBM, Merck, P&G, Shell, Wal-Mart• Boeing
• Focus pre-1996: “to build great planes,” • Weak financial controls—yet high profitability
• Focus 1997-2003 : “creating shareholder value”• Outcome: loss of market leadership, declining profitability

What is business strategy? Strategy
An integrated and coordinated set of commitments and actions designed to gain a competitive advantage
Competitive advantage When two or more firms compete
within the same market, one firm possesses a competitive advantage over its rivals when it earns (or has the potential to earn) a persistently higher rate of profit
9Hitt, Ireland & Hoskisson 2006
1. Long-term goal (objective)
1. Scope of the firm (customer or offering, geographic location, vertical integration
1. Competitive advantage
Components of business strategy
Collis & Rukstad 200810
Strategy ≠ Business Model
Business model (Magretta, 2002) Describes, as a system, how the pieces of a
business fit together. Does not factor in one critical dimension of
performance: competition Reflection of a realized strategy
11
Every organization has a business model . [it] makes some choices, which have consequences. [But] not every organization has a strategy - a
plan of action for different contingencies that may arise. (Casadesus et al. 2010)
Example of Strategy Statement
Edward Jones *To grow to 17,000 financial advisers by 2012 by offering trusted and convenient face-to-face financial advice to conservative individual investors who delegate their financial decisions, through a national network of one-financial-adviser offices.
*Probably from 2007

Group Assignment for Today1. What do you think that the mission statement says about the
customer focus, value creation, market scope, guiding values, and core competencies of this company?
2. For your company, how do specific marketing actions appear to relate to the stated mission? E.g., does the advertising reflect the customer focus in the mission statement? In preparation for later stages of your work, make notes about how the mission affects the markets and customers to be served, the product/service offering, the competition, and higher-level strategy.
3. What changes would you suggest to the mission statement in order to make it more effective as a guide for the marketing planning process or an inspiration for managers and employees?
