  1. Segment VII: Emerging Issues Chris Calagis, Eric Elliott, Jay Mathias, Mike Maulone, and Serge Svarovsky

  2. The Regional Alternative • Regional Pressures • Rise of regional trading blocks • Removing tariffs • Removing fiscal, physical, and technical barriers • Regional Competition • companies are pressured to become more regionally focused • “globalized” companies downscale to become more competitive regionally

  3. New Organizational Challenges • Parent • Stay abreast of local market conditions • Be aware of subsidiary strengths and weaknesses • Shift autonomy to regional managers • Subsidiary • Prepare to take strategic initiatives • Exploit existing strengths, create new strategies • Manage structural mechanisms more effectively

  4. Summary • “Miniature replica” strategy • central control, minimal input from local managers • rigid and non-responsive • Globalization strategy • tight central control • low morale, internal opposition, lost opportunities • Regionalization strategy • autonomous subsidiaries • better service “insider advantage” • presents compromise between “miniature replica” and global strategies

  5. Globalization vs. Regionalization • Why should companies globalize? • A large number of competitors are using global strategies to compete • Performance can be improved by pursuing global strategies, especially in industries which have global structural characteristics • Globalization assumptions • What works at home will work abroad • Exportation and subsidiaries will create global success • Miniature replicas work all of the time

  6. Strategic Keys to be Globally Successful • Ability to cope with diverse industry standards • International consumers demand differentiated products • Being an insider is critically important • Global organizations are difficult to manage and companies should enter slowly • Research • A study showed that instead of developing global strategies, companies should first strengthen regional competitiveness

  7. It Pays to Be Green • The Managerial Incentive Structure • The Traditional View • Pollution Pays, Pollution Prevention Doesn’t • Green Management can be profitable • Cost Reduction • Limits • Recycling and Reusing • Substitution

  8. Environmentally Sound Strategies • The Supply Side: Efficiency and Optimal Management • Implementation of Cost-Effective Environmental Strategies • The Demand Side: Gaining and Maintaining Market Shares • Active and Reactive dimensions to business’s response to the environmental challenge

  9. Environmentally Aware Companies • Green Companies • Green Consumerism • Rent Seeking • Environmentalism is Power • Niches • Oligopolies • Financial Incentives • Greater Investment

  10. Environmentally AwareCompanies (Cont) • Risk Management • Know the Laws • A New Business Ecosystem • The Environment - a main business goal • Managers must encourage green strategies • Green manager = Best manager

  11. Chapter 23: Resolving the ConflictSustainable Development (SD) • Critics say it is simply “permanent financial aid” for the LDCs • Supporters see it as a way to increase the standard of living • It will take vast amounts of resources to build the infrastructure, capital equipment and consumer goods in these LDCs. • How do we raise the standard of living w/o a huge increase in energy consumption?

  12. Global Warming • Increases in CO2 and other greenhouse gases must be controlled • Present industrialized countries created most of the CO2 emissions while consuming huge amounts of energy to become industrialized • LDCs won’t have the same luxury • May not be a problem • There is no real scientific proof that there is such a thing as global warming.

  13. What do we do? • The best solution to this problem involves technology and politics • The present industrialized countries can give LDCs the technology needed to raise the standard of living quickly enough that population growth will slow rapidly • The LDCs must have leaders that allow knowledge to flow freely in the market • Corruption willonly lead to a wider gap between rich and poor
