  • Evolving Ideas About Business Strategy
    Pankaj Ghemawat Evolving Ideas about Business Strategy This paper updates an earlier article published in Business History Review that concluded that by the second half of the 1990s, there had been a profusion of new, purportedly practical ideas about strategy, many of which embodied some explicit dynamics. This update provides several indications of a drop- off since then in the rate of development of new ideas about strategy but also a continued focus, in the new ideas that are being developed, on dynamics. And since our stock of dynamic frameworks has, based on one enumeration, more than doubled in the last fifteen to twenty years, updating expands both the need and the empirical basis for some gener- alizations about the types of dynamic strategy frameworks— and strategy frameworks in general—that managers are likely to find helpful versus those that they are not. n 2002, I published an article in the Business History Review, “Com- Ipetition and Business Strategy in Historical Perspective,” that at- tempted to provide an overview of the evolution of practical—rather than academic—ideas about business strategy from the beginnings of the field through the second half of the 1990s. It concluded that, by then, (1) there had been a profusion of new ideas about strategy, which had probably started in the early to mid-1980s, and (2) many of the new ideas embodied some explicit dynamics, compared with the typical- ly timeless or static approaches to strategy that had previously domi- nated the field. The article was, however, qualified in its

Measuring the Moat 16 December 2002 Executive Summary • Sustainable value creation has two dimensions—how much economic profit a company earns and how long it can earn excess returns. Both are of prime interest to investors and corporate executives. • Sustainable value creation is rare. Competitive forces—including innovation—drive returns toward the cost of capital. Investors should be careful about how much they pay for future value creation. • Warren Buffett consistently emphasizes that he wants to buy businesses with prospects for sustainable value creation. He suggests that buying a business is like buying a castle surrounded by a moat—a moat that he wants to be deep and wide to fend off all competition. According to Buffett, economic moats are almost never stable; competitive forces assure that they’re either getting a little bit wider or a little bit narrower every day.

Krannert Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, developed this Core Reading with the assistance of Sunru Yong, HBS MBA 2007. Copyright © 2014 Harvard Business School Publishing Corporation. All rights reserved. 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of strategy is to create a competitive advantage that generates superior, sustainable financial returns. There are two requirements for doing this successfully. The first is an understanding of the business landscape: the forces that shape competition, the dynamics among players, and the drivers of industry evolution. This informs where the firm chooses to engage with its competition. The second is the choice of a position on this landscape. The firm’s positioning shapes the choice of a business model and the underlying set of activities that sustains it. Strategy, as you can see, consists of choices. It is the integrated set of choices that positions the business in its industry so as to generate superior financial returns over the long run.a Developing a good strategy is not easy: The right set of choices may not be obvious, they must be made amid uncertainty, and then they must be executed using finite resources. A strategy can fail because the firm has chosen a particularly difficult place on the business landscape and is not able to adapt to, or change, its environment. A strategy can fail because its choices are not truly integrated, and so its intended business model and positioning do not fully align.

  • Strategies for Higher Education in the Digital Age 57
    Management Education California Management Review 2017, Vol. 59(4) 56 –78 Strategies for Higher © The Regents of the University of California 2017 Reprints and permissions: Education in the sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI:https://doi.org/10.1177/0008125617717706 10.1177/0008125617717706 Digital Age journals.sagepub.com/home/cmr Pankaj Ghemawat1,2 SUMMARY This article analyzes online technology strategically from the perspective of traditional (face-to-face) providers of higher education. Analysis of current and projected relative positions explains why face-to-face providers need to take online technology seriously. But both pure strategies—entirely face-to-face and entirely online—have significant limitations from their perspective, directing attention toward mixed or blended strategies, for which a strategic typology, illustrated with a broad range of examples, is provided. Moving from an entirely face-to-face approach to a blended one is likely to generate some implementation challenges, which are also addressed. KEYWORDS: education, strategic management, technological innovation igitization is a common theme in many sectors, and education is no exception. One of the more critical issues confronting tradi- tional face-to-face providers of education is how to react to the possibilities offered by online technology. This article sheds some lightD on this issue from three different perspectives. The first section of this article applies simple strategic analysis to two polar cases, traditional face-to-face education with no online component and massive open online courses (MOOCs), entirely online and “low touch,” to help explain why online educational technology is worth taking seriously. The second section dis- cusses what traditional higher education providers should do in response to the pos- sibilities unlocked by advancing online technology.

  • 1 New Ranking of Business Gurus Announced
    NEW RANKING OF BUSINESS GURUS ANNOUNCED: HARVARD INNOVATION EXPERT TOPS THINKERS50 Who is the most influential living management thinker? The Thinkers50 2011 provides the answer. The biennial global ranking is a guide to which thinkers and ideas are in – and which have been consigned to business history. So which thinkers make the grade in the 2011 ranking announced today? No. 1. The Innovation Guru: According to the all-new Thinkers50, the most influential living management thinker in the world is Professor Clayton Christensen of Harvard Business School. Christensen, the author of several best-selling books including The Innovator’s Dilemma, tops the list for the first time. "I never would have imagined I would merit an award like this. I am so honoured and so grateful," said Christensen when presented with the award by Thinkers50 co-founder Des Dearlove in Boston. Christensen’s influence on the business world has been profound. In The Innovator's Dilemma, he looked at why companies struggle with radical innovation in their markets. The book introduced the idea of disruptive technologies and disruptive innovation to a generation of managers. The innovator’s dilemma is that the very management practices that have allowed them to become industry leaders also make it hard for companies to develop the disruptive technologies that ultimately steal away their markets. More recently, Christensen has applied his ideas to healthcare and education to show how enlightened management thinking can tackle the big issues facing society. Christensen also picks up the 2011 T50 Innovation Award. No. 2. Blue Ocean Thinkers: At two in the 2011 ranking are the INSEAD professors W Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne.
