n

nIt is much more difficult to imitate a system of activities than it is to imitate parts

qE.g. Dell, Nucor

 

nIdentify your superior resources

qE.g. Disney, Newell, Dell, Nucor

 

 

nLong-term success requires a clear strategy

qE.g. Newell, Dell, Airborne, Wal-Mart

 

 

nStrategy is a set of trade-offs

qE.g. Dell, Airborne, Newell, IKEA

 

In general I think thePorter article is also applicableto everything

 

my guess is these articles are important.

 

Read HBS NOTE Pankaj  Ghemawat & Jan W. Rivkin, “Creating Competitive Advantage”

Read ER Chan Kim & Renee Mauborgne, “Blue Ocean Strategy”

Read ER David Collis & Cynthia Montgomery, “Creating Corporate Advantage”

Read ER Michael Porter, “From Competitive Advantage to Corporate Strategy”

Read ER David J. Collis and Cynthia A. Montgomery, “Competing on Resources: Strategy in the 1990s”

Read ER Jay Barney, “Looking Inside for Competitive Advantage”

Hey Venkat!

 

Sorry man... couldn't reply...but frankly I m yet to read the case as i m stuck with CFA prep....I wld read it probably tomorrow.......

...but one thing is for sure....if u r saying this articles are importnat...then it is... :)

 

i wld read it with a "Birds Eye" view....

Good luck to all....

[Zara Massey]

sorry guys,

I wasn't able to get to it, had 2 exams today.will read up on it tonight.

but i think the core competency and the not being able to imitate  the whole system defintely applies.

[Venkat Kalyan]

Wondering why our final grades are taking such a long time .

[Zara Massey]

right...i was wondering if you all had gotten them and maybe i flunked the course or something.

But am relieved to know that yours arent in either!!!

Anyway Venkat, you must be all set to leave, I hope you have a smooth transition and wish you all the best.

Hope the rest of you are doing well also.

Zara

[Venkat Kalyan]

Pretty much set to leave. Problem isi need to getthegrads and send over my transcripts to Villanova and get thedegree all in 10 days. Hm...

[Zara Massey]

did you email the professor?maybe you should regarding your grades at least coz you need it on a urgent basis.

[chirag mehta]

No no...I did so much of BS in his test...so he may be still trying to understand wt I have written...so delaying result ;-)

....kidding... I met him twice after the exam.... he was in Jeans & T-shirt both time... i think he is also relaxing like us....

 

BTW Venkat... when r u leaving!? ... i wld like to meet before u leave for INDIAAAAAAAAA ..... hope after this Saturday, as I m taking CFA L II on dt day....

[chirag mehta]

Oooh... now I saw ur e-mail.... in that case, i think we will be able to meet...

[chirag mehta]

Team... check your Grades.... he has posted it... check your baruch mail....

[Zara Massey]

 

 Thank you Chirag for letting us know.I'm sure we all managed to get a good grade. I thought the same btw, regarding my BS on the exam and his inability to comprehend it, hence the delay!!!!
