Comprehensive strategic planning frameworks for competitive analysis, growth strategy, and decision-making.

Core Strategy Frameworks

Porter's Five Forces Analysis

Analyze industry competitiveness:

Force	Key Questions	Analysis Focus
Threat of New Entrants	Capital requirements? Regulatory barriers? Brand loyalty?	Entry barriers, scale advantages
Supplier Power	Concentration? Switching costs? Forward integration risk?	Input cost control, supply security
Buyer Power	Concentration? Price sensitivity? Backward integration?	Customer bargaining leverage
Threat of Substitutes	Alternative solutions? Price-performance tradeoffs?	Disruption vulnerability
Competitive Rivalry	Industry growth? Differentiation? Exit barriers?	Competitive intensity

Portfolio analysis for resource allocation:

Quadrant	Definition	Strategy
Stars	High growth, high share	Invest heavily, defend position
Cash Cows	Low growth, high share	Harvest, fund other initiatives
Question Marks	High growth, low share	Invest selectively or divest
Dogs	Low growth, low share	Divest or minimize investment

McKinsey 9-Box Matrix

More nuanced portfolio positioning:

                    INDUSTRY ATTRACTIVENESS
                    High      Medium    Low
            High    Invest    Invest    Protect
BUSINESS    Med     Invest    Selective Harvest
STRENGTH    Low     Selective Harvest   Divest

SWOT Analysis (Strategic)

Beyond basic SWOT - strategic implications:

INTERNAL FACTORS:
Strengths → Leverage for competitive advantage
Weaknesses → Address or neutralize

EXTERNAL FACTORS:
Opportunities → Capture with existing strengths
Threats → Mitigate through strategic moves

STRATEGIC QUESTIONS:
1. S-O: How can strengths exploit opportunities?
2. W-O: Which weaknesses prevent capturing opportunities?
3. S-T: Which strengths can counter threats?
4. W-T: Which weaknesses make us vulnerable to threats?

Competitive Strategy

Generic Competitive Strategies (Porter)

Strategy	Focus	Key Success Factors
Cost Leadership	Lowest cost producer	Scale, efficiency, tight cost control
Differentiation	Unique value proposition	Innovation, brand, quality
Focus (Cost)	Cost leader in niche	Specialized efficiency
Focus (Diff)	Differentiated in niche	Deep customer understanding

Blue Ocean Strategy

Create uncontested market space:

Red Ocean	Blue Ocean
Compete in existing market	Create new market space
Beat the competition	Make competition irrelevant
Exploit existing demand	Create and capture new demand
Value-cost tradeoff	Break value-cost tradeoff

Four Actions Framework:

Eliminate: Which factors should be eliminated?
Reduce: Which factors should be reduced below industry standard?
Raise: Which factors should be raised above industry standard?
Create: Which factors should be created that industry never offered?

Market Entry Strategy

Entry Mode Selection

Mode	Control	Risk	Resource Commitment
Export	Low	Low	Low
Licensing	Low	Low-Med	Low
Joint Venture	Medium	Medium	Medium
Acquisition	High	High	High
Greenfield	Highest	Highest	Highest
