26
the 6 defense strategies
- position defense - flank defense - pre-emptive defense - counteroffensive defense - repositioning defense - contraction defense
27
position defense
occupying the most desirable position in consumers' mind, making the brand almost impregnable
28
flank defense
the market leader should put up outposts to protect a weak front or support a possible counterattack (e.g. a second brand to protect against competition)
29
pre-emptive defense
- attack first (can be random), perhaps with guerilla action across the market - achieve broad market envelopment - introduce a stream of new products and announce in advance (e.g. launch announcements); we wary of vaporware
30
counteroffensive defense
the market leader can meet the attacker frontally and hit its flank or launch a pincer movement so that the attacker has to pull back and defend itself
31
repositioning defense
the leader stretches its domain over new territories through market broadening and market diversification - shifts focus from current product to underlying generic need - e.g. BP rebranding from an oil company to an energy company
32
contraction defense
strategic withdrawal; giving up weaker markets that are no longer tenable and reassigning resources to stronger ones
33
the 4 stages of the product life cycle
- introduction - growth - maturity - decline
34
the 4 key assumptions of the product life cycle
- products have a limited life - product sales pass through distinct stages - profits rise and fall at different stages of the product life cycle - products require different strategies in each stage of the life cycle
35
product life - introduction
a period of slow sales growth as the product is introduced to the market; profits are nonexistent because of the heavy expenses of product introduction
36
strategy aspects in the introduction stage
- low sales growth - negative or low profits - high promotional expenditures - higher costs and prices - the focus is on buyers most ready to buy
37
product life - growth
a period of rapid market acceptance and substantial profit improvement
38
strategy aspects in the growth stage
- improve product quality and add new features - add new models and flanker products - enter new market segments - increase distribution coverage - shift from awareness comms to preference comms - lower prices to attract next layer of price-sensitive buyers
39
product life - maturity
a slowdown in sales growth because the product has achieved acceptance by most potential buyers; profits peak or decline because of increased competition
40
the 3 phases of the maturity stage
- growth - stability - decaying maturity
41
the 1st phase of the maturity stage
growth starts to slow; no new distribution channels to fill; and new competitive forces emerge
42
strategy aspects in the growth phase of the maturity stage
- convert nonusers - attract competitors' customers - increase usage among current users
43
the 2nd phase of the maturity stage
stability; the market is saturated and sales per capita flatten; future sales growth depends on population growth and replacement demand
44
the 3rd phase of the maturity stage
decaying maturity; the absolute level of sales starts to decline; customers are switching; and giants dominate the market
45
product modification strategies in the maturity stage
- quality improvement; "new and improved" product - feature improvement - style improvement
46
product life - decline
sales show a downward drift and profits erode
47
harvesting
gradually reducing a product or business's costs while trying to maintain sales
48
divesting
reducing product portfolio size; exiting smaller segments and weaker trade channels; can often involve selling the unit to another company
49
growth-slump-maturity pattern life cycle
e.g. with small appliances like toaster ovens
50
cycle-recycle pattern life cycle
e.g. with drugs
51
scalloped pattern life cycle
when new uses for products are discovered, e.g. Nylon
52
fad
comes quickly into public view, is adopted with great zeal, peaks early, and declines very fast; unpredictable, short-lived, and without social, economic, and political significance
53
trend
a direction or sequence of events with momentum and durability - more predictable and durable than fads - can reveal the shape of the future and provide strategic direction
