The Consolidation-Endgame Curve framework (also known as Consolidation Curve or Endgame Curve) is not a well
known framework, but is one that offers incredibly insights into market dynamics and competitive strategies.
This framework was developed by the management consulting firm AT Kearney after they performed a study on 25,000
firms, representing 98% of the global market cap. The firm realizes that all industries go through the same 4-stage
lifecycleOpening, Scale, Focus, Balance & Alliance.
Across all industries, the same characteristics are exhibited at each stage of the Curve.
By appropriately identifying our stage and understanding the defining traits and behavior of our stage, we can better
understand and predict market and competitive behavior and trends. Every major strategic and operational move should
be evaluated with regard to the industrys stage in the Consolidation Curve.
On a more subtle note, the industry stage also governs what type of management and leadership works best for the
company. In other words, the management team in the Scale phase may not possess the right skills to run the company
at the Balance & Alliance stage.
This framework not only helps us define a more informed corporate strategy, but also helps
define our organizational structure and the proper management team.

Developed by Michael Porter, recognized as the father of modern business strategy, Porters Five Forces is one
of the most well known classic strategy frameworks.
Porters Five Forces is a framework used for industry analysis and understand the various dynamics amongst industry
players and external forces.
It is based on the theory that competition in any industry is dependent on 5 basic forcesPotential Entrants, Internal
Rivalry, Suppliers, Buyers, and Substitutes (or Complements). The collective strength of these forces determines the
ultimate profit potential and allocation in the industry.
Using this framework, we can determine how attractive/desirable it is to compete in any industry, as well as what the
overarching strategy should be to compete successfully in the industrysuccess is determined by the ability to develop a
sustainable competitive advantage.
It can also be used to assess which industry trends may pose as opportunities or threats.
Several important economic and technical characteristics of an industry are critical to the
strengths of each competitive force.

The BCG Growth-Share Matrix (also called Product Portfolio and Boston Matrix) is a classic competitive positioning
strategy framework developed by the management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
The growth-share matrix displays graphically in a 2-by-2 matrix one of two scenarios:
The position of each business of a companys portfolio; or
Compares the position of various players in one industry.
The two axes of the matrix are 1) market/industry growth and 2) relative market share (RMS). We then plot our products
onto the matrix and quadrant associated with the product drives its strategy. The quadrants are defined as follows:
Star high RMS, high market growth;
Cash cow High RMS, low market growth;
Dog Low RMS, low market growth; and
Question mark Low RMS, high market growth.
The key premise to this framework is that products located in each of the quadrants will be in fundamentally different
cash flow positions and should be managed differently.
This framework is used to assess trends in the evolution of a companys portfolio of business (when matrix is drawn for
both the current year and past years). It can also be used to understand the competitive position of each business,
possible cash requirements, and focus attention on key issues.
This framework helps the us allocate resources and is can be used as an analytical tool in
brand marketing, product management, strategic management, or portfolio analysis.

4 Quadrants Explained
BCG Matrix
PEST Analysis
Consumer
Adoption Curve
Cash Cow
Cash cows are units with high market share in a slow-growing industry. These units typically generate
cash in excess of the amount of cash needed to maintain the business. They are regarded as staid
and boring, in a "mature" market, and every corporation would be thrilled to own as many as
possible. They are to be "milked" continuously with as little investment as possible, since such
investment would be wasted in an industry with low growth.
Dog
Dogs, or more charitably called pets, are units with low market share in a mature, slow-growing
industry. These units typically "break even", generating barely enough cash to maintain the
business's market share. Though owning a break-even unit provides the social benefit of providing
jobs and possible synergies that assist other business units, from an accounting point of view such a
unit is worthless, not generating cash for the company. They depress a profitable company's return
on assets ratio, used by many investors to judge how well a company is being managed. Dogs, it is
thought, should be sold off.
Question
Mark
Star
Question marks (also known as problem child) are growing rapidly and thus consume large amounts
of cash, but because they have low market shares they do not generate much cash. The result is a
large net cash consumption. A question mark has the potential to gain market share and become a
star, and eventually a cash cow when the market growth slows. If the question mark does not
succeed in becoming the market leader, then after perhaps years of cash consumption it will
degenerate into a dog when the market growth declines. Question marks must be analyzed carefully
in order to determine whether they are worth the investment required to grow market share.
Stars are units with a high market share in a fast-growing industry. The hope is that stars become the
next cash cows. Sustaining the business unit's market leadership may require extra cash, but this is
worthwhile if that's what it takes for the unit to remain a leader. When growth slows, stars become
cash cows if they have been able to maintain their category leadership, or they move from brief
stardom to dogdom.

Blue Ocean Strategy is growth strategy framework focused on the idea of creating an uncontested market
space--i.e. a "blue ocean." This framework is very innovative, as its principles challenge the conventional business
strategy principles of fighting competitors head-on.
The Blue Ocean Strategy framework evolved from a framework called Value Innovation developed by Gemini Consulting
(now Capgemini Consulting) in the late 90s.
At the heart of Blue Ocean Strategy, we have concept of Value Innovation. Value without innovation tends to focus on
value creation on an incremental scale, i.e. something that improves value but is not sufficient to make us really stand out
in the marketplace. Innovation without value tends to be technology-driven, market pioneering, or futuristic, often shooting
beyond what buyers are ready to accept and pay for.
Value Innovation occurs only if we align innovation with utility, price, and cost positions. The focus here is not time-tomarket, bleeding-edge technology or best practices. It is the ambition to break one of the most commonly accepted
dogmas of competition-based strategy: the value-cost trade-off.
It is conventionally believed that companies can either create greater value to customers at a higher cost, or create
reasonable value at a lower cost. Here, strategy is seen as making a choice between differentiation and cost. In contrast,
to create blue oceans, we need to pursue differentiation and low cost simultaneously, by looking within and beyond our
industry boundaries and redefining a market altogether.
Blue Ocean Strategy challenges many of the conventional principles of strategy, based on the
pursuit of competitive strategy.

A powerful framework used in Blue Ocean Strategy analysis is the Value Curve, which depicts where traditional,
incumbent players are placing their value. It allows us to visualize where competition places value, where
customers place value, and where are potential opportunities to disrupt the market. We can determine which
specific value attributes to eliminate, to reduce, to raise, and to create. By creating new value attributes, we creating
a blue ocean to compete in.

SWOT Analysis
Overview
The SWOT Analysis (also called SWOT Matrix) is one of the earliest strategy frameworks. It was developed in the 1960s
at Harvard Business School by Learned, Christensen, Andrews, and Guth.
The name is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
This framework provides basic directions for structuring strategic analysis.
The underlying theory is that assessment of competitive position should combine both an external and an internal
analysis. The internal factors are Weaknesses and Strengths, whereas the external factors are Opportunities and
Threats.
We can conduct SWOT analyses for our own organization in addition to our competitors, so that we gain added insight
into our companys competitive position.
The output of this analysis is often displayed in the form of a 2x2 matrix.
SWOT Analysis is often conducted in conjunction with PEST Analysis.
Many market research firms routinely publish SWOT analyses for public companies.

PEST Analysis is a framework evaluating macro-environmental factors used in the environmental scanning
component of strategic management. The PEST analysis framework has become increasingly popular and relevant as
the first decade of the 21st century have given rise to green business and environmental concerns from the public.
PEST is an acronym for Political, Economic, Social, and Technological, which are the macro-environmental factors to
analysis in this analysis.
This analysis is often performed in conjunction with other popular frameworks, as a means of enhancing the
understanding and output of these other frameworks. Specifically, it is often used to help explain the analysis in the
following frameworks:
Porters Five Forces;
SWOT Analysis;
Value Chain Analysis; and
Industry financials.
PEST Analysis is often performed in a 3-phase process: data collection, industry trend analysis, and trend quantification.
PEST Analysis been sometimes been extended to include Legal and Environmental, forming
the name PESTLE Analysis.

The 4 Ps of marketing, often just called Marketing Mix, is perhaps the commonly used corporate marketing framework.
The marketing mix refers to the 4 levers to adjust when determining the essence of products marketing strategy.
The 4 Ps refer to Price, Product, Promotion, and Placement.
This framework has been extended to 7 Ps, to also include Physical Evidence, People, and Process.
The definitions for the additional 3 Ps should not be confused with the People-Process-Technology framework, which is
more operationally-focused (vs. consumer-focused).
In most cases, Price and Product are the more important factors and are determined
firstas these are more closely tied to our competitive advantage.

A product is seen as an item that satisfies what a consumer needs or wants. It is a tangible good or an
intangible service. Intangible products are service based like the tourism industry, the hotel industry and the
financial industry. Tangible products are those that have an independent physical existence.
Typical examples of mass-produced, tangible objects are the motor car and the disposable razor. A less
obvious but ubiquitous mass-produced service is a computer operating system. Every product is subject to a
life-cycle including a growth phase followed by a maturity phase and finally an eventual period of decline as
sales falls.
Marketers must do careful research on how long the life cycle of the product they are marketing is likely to be
and focus their attention on different challenges that arise as the product moves through each stage. The
marketer must also consider the product mix. Marketers can expand the current product mix by increasing a
certain product lines depth or by increasing the number of product lines. Marketers should consider how to
position the product, how to exploit the brand, how to exploit the companys resources and how to configure
the product mix so that each product complements the other.
The marketer must also consider product development strategies.
2
Price
The amount a customer pays for the product. The price is very important as it determines the companys
profit and hence, survival. Adjusting the price has a profound impact on the marketing strategy, and depending
on the price elasticity of the product, often it will affect the demand and sales as well. The marketer should set
a price that complements the other elements of the marketing mix.
When setting a price, the marketer must be aware of the customer perceived value for the product. Three
basic pricing strategies are: market skimming pricing, market penetration pricing and neutral pricing. The
reference value (where the consumer refers to the prices of competing products) and the differential value
(the consumers view of this products attributes versus the attributes of other products) must be taken into
account.

All of the methods of communication that a marketer may use to provide information to different
parties about the product. Promotion comprises elements such as: advertising, public relations, personal
selling and sales promotion.
Advertising covers any communication that is paid for, from cinema commercials, radio and Internet
advertisements through print media and billboards. Public relations is where the communication is not directly
paid for and includes press releases, sponsorship deals, exhibitions, conferences, seminars or trade fairs and
events. Word-of-mouth is any apparently informal communication about the product by ordinary individuals,
satisfied customers or people specifically engaged to create word of mouth momentum. Sales staff often plays
an important role in word of mouth and public relations.
4
Placement
Refers to providing the product at a place which is convenient for consumers to access. Various
strategies such as intensive distribution, selective distribution, exclusive distribution and franchising can be
used by the marketer to complement the other aspects of the marketing mix.

Product Lifecycle analysis is a tool to predict how sales will develop based on the age of the product category.
Marketers and strategists can use this analysis to predict sales growth, associated customer and competitor behaviors,
and, in turn, devise the appropriate product marketing strategy.
The Product Lifecycle itself it divided into 4 stages of development: Introduction, Growth, Maturity (and Saturation),
and Decline (and Termination).
The length of each period varies tremendously. Some products have very short cycles, whereas others can take decades
or even centuries to go through the cycle. The lifecycle can be mapped against the consumer adoption curve, where the
peak of the curve generally occurs in the maturity stage of the Product Lifecycle.
The Product Lifecycle is typically mapped against the Consumer Adoption Curve to draw out key marketing and
competitive insights. By understanding what stage of the Consumer Adoption Curve were at, we can gain invaluable
insights into the who our target customer are, as well as their defining attributes.
The Consumer Adoption Curve is defined by 5 sequential stages: Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority,
and Laggards. Typically, there is a chasm between the Early Adopters and Early Majority.
Product Lifecycle Analysis also provides a framework to understand the competitive environment. It makes an underlying
assumption that sales and profitability follow a predictable pattern for all industries and all products within those
industries.
Be aware that as a product moves through its lifecycle, the likelihood of customers
switching to a substitute product increases.

Overview
The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a Strategy Performance Management tool. It is a semi-standard structured report,
supported by proven design methods and automation tools, that can be used by managers to keep track of the execution
of activities by the staff within their control and to monitor the consequences arising from these actions. It was developed
by Robert Kaplan and David Norton.
The BSC approach is called balanced, because it supplements traditional financial measures with 3 key non-financial
areas:
A companys relationship with its customers;
Its key internal business processes; and
Its learning and growth.
This approach enables companies to track financial results, while simultaneously monitoring progress in building the
capabilities and acquiring the intangible assets they need for future growth.
BSC also provides a framework for companys to translate their strategy into measurable and actionable KPIs and
objectives. Specifically, it ties 4 key management processes (Translating the Vision, Communicating and Linking,
Business Planning, and Feedback and Learning) into both short-term and long-term strategic objectives.
The BSC framework is flexible in that it allows for the strategy itself to evolve in response to
changes in the companys competitive, market, and technological environments.

Overview
In Blue Ocean Strategy, the authors identify 4 main Organizational Hurdles that the organization must overcome for
successful business execution. These hurdles arise when a company develops a new strategy to departs from the status
quo.
These hurdles are the Cognitive Hurdle, Resource Hurdle, Motivational Hurdle, and Political Hurdle.
Although all companies face different degrees of these hurdles, many may only face a subset of the 4 hurdles. To
overcome these hurdles effectively, organizations must abandon perceived wisdom on effecting organizational change.
In Blue Ocean Strategy, the concept of overturning conventional wisdom on doing things is
called tipping point leadership.

Overview
Hoshin Kanri (also known as Policy Deployment, Hoshin Planning, or just Hoshin) is a Strategic Planning/Strategic
Management Methodology. It is based on a concept popularized in Japan in the late 1950s by Yoji Akao.
"Each person is the expert in his or her own job, and Japanese TQC (Total Quality Control) is designed to use the
collective thinking power of all employees to make their organization the best in its field, Yoji Akao. This is the
fundamental principle of Hoshin Kanri.
In other words, this framework ensures that the strategic goals of our company drive progress and action at every level
within the organization. This eliminates the waste that comes from inconsistent direction and poor communication.
This framework is intended to help an organization:
Focus on a shared goal;
Communicate that goal to all leaders;
Involve all leaders in planning to achieve the goal; and
Hold participants accountable for achieving their part of the plan.
Hoshin Kanri falls under the umbrella of Lean Thinking (or called Lean Management, Lean Methodologies). Lean
frameworks strive for continuous improvement of the organization.
Hoshin Kanri strives to get every employee pulling in the same direction at the same time.
