The questions are:
Is strategy is killed by the technology?
Is strategy really required now? Where you make strategic plan in three months & it get flopped
in just one month.
Or do we need great strategies even more than ever?
Answer: Winners are winning & losers are loosing.
The answer is “Making the right strategic choices is important more than ever, in timely manner &
in a particular situation”.
Strategic situation variables:
1. Unpredictability
2. Malleability
3. Harshness
If we closely analysis the products of companies in subject then we will find out that these companies
are only focused on,
Back office & front office automation tools
Content management systems
BPO
HR portals
Enterprise application solutions
strategic focus is to achieve operational excellence & take advantage of the cheap human resources by
penetrating through international market.
product leadership capability is completely missing in the equation & concentrating only in the mobility
features.
Also the companies in subject completely lake in using the API & Platform competitive advantages which
are widely used by other organization in the same industry.
Despite of being having the highest compliance industry standards i.e. CMMI & ISO the companies in
question have low gross margins due to lack of innovation.
