企业的差异化营销战略探究

差异化营销战略被当代的企业视为三大核心战略之一,集中表现在对企业的差异化诉求上,通过差异化的营销战略和一系列的传播组合创造出自身的品牌,在消费者脑海中留下企业的品牌观念从而创造出企业至于竞争对手的唯一性和独特性。然而在当今激烈的竞争市场中差异化战略并未为企业带来完全的唯一性和独特性,而是将企业竞争带入另一同质化的困境。试图从差异化营销战略的理论来源,企业竞争同质化困境的缘由和差异化营销战略如何引领企业走出同质化的怪圈等角度对企业的差异化营销战略进行探究。

农机企业需谨慎用好价格武器

正长期以来,不仅仅是我们农机行业,国内企业的一个惯常手段就是打价格战,而不从产品的差异化、服务的差异化、营销的差异化、满足细分市场等方面来下功夫。同时在国内知识产权保护环境总体上尚比较缺失的大背景下,企业不敢或无力搞技术创新,因此大多产品陷入同质化竞争的陷阱,打价格战理所当然成了竞争的一种常见手段了。

中国绿色食品出口国的市场分析与进入战略、方式选择

中国绿色食品产业和企业出口的迅速发展,对促进“三农”发展发挥着越来越重要的作用。但企业规模偏小,AA级产品和驰名品牌少,市场定位针对性不强及进入战略、方式选择不当等问题。制约着企业向国际市场的进一步开拓和社会经济效益的提高。本文认为,我国绿色食品企业必须加强市场定位分析。提高产品质量和企业信誉,同时鉴于选择投资式进入战略的条件尚不成熟,成本较高,比较适宜选择贸易式和契约式进入方式开拓国际市场,并以渐进式拓展国际市场,其具体方式主要有五种,即在国外注册、认证方式、联盟方式、契约方式、合资方式、境外设点方式等。     

产品市场竞争策略和公司负债融资决策

本文研究中国各行业上市公司产品市场竞争策略效应以及它与公司负债的关系。经验研究结果发现上市公司在大部分行业偏向采取策略性替代的竞争策略,公司的产品市场竞争策略与负债存在相互决定关系。从总体和高负债水平样本来看,两者存在显著为正的关系,产品市场竞争策略程度会显著增加公司资产负债和长期负债水平;所增加的负债水平会强化产品市场竞争策略程度,负债具有掠夺效应功能。而对于较低资产负债率水平样本来说,两者存在显著为负的关系,负债具备有限责任效应;较低长期负债率水平样本不存在两者互动关系和负债战略功能。研究结果为企业负债融资和经营决策提供有利的借鉴。     

Sequential Product Design

I consider a model of duopoly where firms make sequential product design changes prior to price competition. I show that a socially desirable outcome is possible in this model. In equilibrium, the leader's product is less specific, implying a customer attraction strategy, and the follower's product is more specific, implying a customer retention strategy. This outcome is in contrast with the equilibrium outcome of a similar model, where simultaneous design competition takes place prior to price competition. In this latter model, the product designs are more specific and the prices are higher in equilibrium, leading to a reduction in welfare. I compare the design incentives under price competition with those in models where price collusion or merger is expected and with multi-product monopoly. In models with no price competition, less specific designs may serve to attract more customers, to improve current or future pie of monopoly profits, or to improve the outside option in bargaining game, depending on the model.     

Science Park Location and New Technology-Based Firms in Sweden – Implications for Strategy and Performance

One logical way to assess the performance of Science Parks is to compare the performance of their firms to similar firms not located there. A total of 273 new technology-based firms (NTBFs) were surveyed, of which 134 were on a Science Park and 139 were not on a park. There were significant differences in the means of strategy dimensions between the on-Park and off-Park firms. It can be seen that the NTBFs who located in Science Parks showed significantly greater emphasis on firm characteristics as innovation ability, competitor- and market-orientation, sales and employment growth, high profits etc. The differences indicates a slight advantage for the Science Park firms. The off-Park sample reported proximity to other firms to be of higher importance than the on-Park sample in their choice of location. However, these differences do not show any clear pattern, making it difficult to understand if NTBFs who locate on Science Parks are systematically looking for something different in their location.     

Dysfunctional competition & innovation strategy of new ventures as they mature

Drawing on a sample of 288 new ventures from three disperse locations in China, we examine how dysfunctional competition impacts the innovation strategy of new ventures as they mature. Our results show that: 1) innovation strategy has a positive effect on new venture competitive advantage; 2) the impact of dysfunctional competition positively moderates this relationship in the early stages of the venture; 3) dysfunctional competition negatively moderates it as the venture matures. Thus, dysfunctional competition forces new ventures to focus on their resource shortages through innovation strategy. However, as these ventures mature, they accumulate greater resources, and dysfunctional competition acts to limit the firm's competitive advantage. With these findings, we contribute to the theoretical understanding of innovation strategy in a dysfunctional competition environment and how new ventures strive for competitive advantage in such a setting.

Compete in Price or Service?—A Study of Personalized Pricing and Money Back Guarantees

Retailers use both pricing and service strategies to respond to intensified competition. Here we develop a duopoly model to investigate the impact of the increasingly popular personalized pricing strategy (PPS) and the widely used Money Back Guarantee (MBG) customer returns policy. We consider two retailers who differ in customer satisfaction rates. Each retailer chooses a pricing strategy, PPS or uniform pricing, and a product return strategy, MBG or ‘no returns.’ We show that both PPS and MBG are dominant strategies, but their impact on retailers’ prices and profits are different; while PPS intensifies price competition and may lead to a prisoner’s dilemma in which both retailers may lose profit, MBG mitigates price competition and may result in a Pareto improvement in both retailers’ profits. Both PPS and MBG increase the size of the overall market, but not the total duopoly profit. The total customer surplus and social welfare may increase under either strategy. In addition, we obtain some interesting observations as to how our results may change if the product quality/customer satisfaction rate is endogenously chosen in the duopoly. Some of our findings are in contrast to related results reported in the literature.

Interactive effects of marketing strategy formulation and implementation upon firm performance

Abstract

This study employed an integrative approach to investigate the influence of external business environment, strategy formulation, viability of marketing strategy, and strategy implementation upon firm performance. The findings show that while technological change and market competition negatively influence the credibility of the strategy, market attractiveness has a positive influence upon the viability of strategy employed. Moreover, market competition has a positive influence upon the involvement of marketing managers in terms of strategy making and that the presence of an innovative culture is strongly required in executing a strategic marketing plan. In addition, the study shows that the involvement of marketing managers in strategy making, which is strongly supported by an innovative culture, generates their commitment to the strategy, which positively influences strategy viability.     

Competitive Strategy,Environmental Characteristics and Performance in African Emerging Economies: Lessons from Firms in Ghana

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the impact of the implementation of competitive strategy on organizational performance in response to economic liberalization policies using survey data from organizations in Ghana. We also examine how the perceived intensity of industry competition and industry sector moderate the relationship between competitive strategy and organizational performance. The results show that the implementation of the competitive strategies of low-cost, differentiation, and integrated low-cost and differentiation were all positively related to performance (return on assets and return on sales). We also find that both industry competition and industry sector moderate the relationship between differentiation strategy and return on assets. Moreover, industry competition moderates the relationships between both low-cost and differentiation strategies and return on sales. The results indicate that implementing a clearly defined competitive strategy is beneficial to organizations experiencing significant changes in the environment due to economic liberalization. The findings also suggest that while low-cost strategy is more beneficial to organizations in a highly competitive industry, differentiation strategy is more beneficial to firms in lowly competitive industry. At the same time, organizations in the manufacturing sector benefit more than those in the service sector when they implement the differentiation strategy. Managerial implications are presented.
