Module 4 – Case

Strategy, Financing, HRIS, and Putting It All Together

Case Assignment

For this final module, you will draw on the background readings in all four modules.

In addition to correcting each previous Business Plan component, review the information about financing options and also about competitive strategies and select the one you want to employ in your new business venture. Your options to select from are: 

Narrow market scope

Segmentation Strategy

Broad market scope

Differentiation Strategy

Cost Leadership

Uniqueness competency

Low cost competency

Empirical research on the profit impact of marketing strategy indicates that firms with a high market share are often quite profitable, but so are many firms with low market share. The least profitable firms are those with moderate market share. This is sometimes referred to as the “hole-in-the-middle” problem.

Porter explains that firms with high market share are successful because they pursue a cost-leadership strategy, and firms with low market share are successful because they employ market segmentation or differentiation to focus on a small but profitable market niche. Firms in the middle are less profitable because of the lack of a viable generic strategy.
