Strategic management theory

Comparison of strategic theory among two family businesses

A future scenario about strategic management theory

Conclusion

Introduction:

Every company has its specifications and understandings about the business and implements different strategies according to new requirements. And when the theories involve the management strategies then the concept and purpose of the business clearly explain in better terms. Bestway is one of the best family businesses that include a lot of opportunities, inventions and ambitious according to business strategies because it is going to represent the top-level businesses expressing the personality of one person (Mumford, 2011)

Bestway organization is taking start from a single store in 1963. It develops a specific place in the market because it starts providing halal meat to all the Muslim community and gives them according to their requirement and makes its place in the market. Bestway follows the successful strategy that helps in its development and now it becomes one of the biggest companies in the world. This company has huge businesses for export. Put their money in more investment opportunities and most important point is that it drives more opportunities for bringing innovation in the organization. The strategic management theory is very helpful in this regard. It explains all the terms and basic purpose of business in the most effective way. It enhances the requirement of the business and explains what is the style of performing the business in the market and how they capture the attention of market because when an organization successfully running its all operations then they must implement a most effective strategy which acts as helping tool and provide lots of success to the organization. (Bestwaygroup, 2020)

Strategic management theory:

Strategic management theory helps to explain origin, principles, applications and evolution of business most effectively. strategic management theory of Bestway organization help to explain that what is the methodology of doing business in the market and how to perform all the duties most effectively because it provides the working criteria of the business and explains how business become successful and what strategies they have to use for performing the business operations. There are lots of strategies management theories according to different business requirements (Omalaja & Eruola , 2011). Bestway is utilizing the resource-based view theory among much different kind of theories and explain in a better way than how the company work and how its operations all the functions to generate maximum profit because when a company move safely and sufficiently in the market then it became successful in making its strong position in the market (Jurevicius, 2013).

The basic purpose behind the competitive advantages is the strategic management theory according to business requirements. By sustaining the competitive advantages, the company have to understand in a better way it's all the resources and also how to manage its all resources by generating maximum outcomes. Resources based theory explain a strong part of strategic management that help in explaining the competitive advantage of the company, maximize its performance and also explain the fundamental resources according to their attributes and abilities that is the cost to copy and most valuable for the business and its development. There is s strong link between the resources of the firm and its competitive advantages and this link stable over time according to new requirements (Tapera, 2014)

To generate the competitive advantages by utilizing the resources of the organization, four indicators are explained in better terms that provide the firm basic need which include non-substitutability, inimitability, rareness and value of the business. firm assets are huge according to its requirements and function that include its knowledge, information, attributes of the firm, organizational processes, capabilities and processes that help in improving the efficiency and effectiveness to conceive and implement strategies in the organization (Jurevicius , Competitive advantage, 2013). A competitive advantage condition comes in the organization when it implements a value-creating strategy that makes it's different from other competitors and this strategy never used by other competitors. (Madhani, March 2010).

It provides maximum competitive advantages when by implementing value-creating strategy, the competitors never copy that strategy and company become different and successful in the more competitive environment. So for providing more competitive advantages in the organization, the resources of the firm utilize in four different ways according to consider the requirement of the company and manage all the ways according to the performance of the company. These ways include no any strategically equivalent substitute is preset for resources, it should be imperfectly imitable, it should be rare from multiple potential and current competition and it should be valuable for the organization as it explains the opportunities and threats according to the environment of the organization. In the strategic management theory, competitive advantages are the most common term used in the development of the organization. Bestway utilizing its competitive advantage techniques and provide lots of benefit to the organization because the performance of the organization has a very strong link with the competitive advantages and it makes the company more strong and performs very well among multiple competitors (Gluck, Kaufman, & Walleck, 1980). Different patterns about the performance and competitive advantages of the company explain that competitive advantage is context-specific, it is utilized in rational term and it does not equate to superior performance. It also explains links between the performance of the company and its competitive advantages in such a way that highest performance never achieves without competitive advantages, competitive advantages never obtain without superior performance and competitive advantages lead to highest performance in the organization (Madhani P., 2009)

 It can easily understand that for superior performance competitive advantage is the most important factor. The general manager of the organization has a responsibility to survive and success the company with long term strategies by considering the anatomy of competitive advantages. To examine a different aspect of the competitive advantages, the general manager utilizes the framework named SELECT for managing all the factors systematically. The manager also considers the time-span, its causes, effects, locale, and substance and is the expression on the organization. So it is beneficial for the organization to take the competitive advantages and obtain lots of benefits for making the organization more successful. All effects of competitive advantages enhance the efforts of the competitive advantages and company get a better advantage for enhancing its potential and maintain in sustainable position for long term (Igi-global, 2020).

Resources based view theory is helpful to consider all the competitive advantages for the organization. It also determines that the theory of resource-based view theory is just like competitive advantages theory that explains all the beneficial parts of the organization. Company obtains sustainable competitive advantages after the management efforts for generating the required output. When a company able to obtain sustainable competitive advantages then it can also earn return beyond its limitations. So it gives more attention to how the firm utilizes its resources most effectively and sustains advantages in better way. Resource based theory is helpful in this regard when the resources of the organization are not duplicated and facing barrier and having some value characteristics (Madhani P. M., 2009). If the firm utilize it’s all the resource in the product market to generate maximum results then it will obtain sustainable competitive advantages. Resource-based theory helps to explain developing and deploying key resources to maximize returns, charging the firm's management with the important tasks of identifying and focus on strategic choice. So the basic element of the resources based theory include strategic choice by management, the characteristics and types of advantages generating resources and superior performance with sustainable competitive advantages (Businessballs, 2019)

This theory help in explains the basic resources and its effective utilization in better way because when organization run in the market with multiple competitors, then they have to manage such strategies that give them long term benefit and also utilize its all the resources in such a way that company obtain competitive advantages in the market. Models and principles are established to follow the strategic according to competitive advantages and determine that company has to understand its basic requirement and limit of resources so that the management set all the targets and standards according to consider all the resources and enhance the performance of the organization in most effective way. When the company can able to meet all the requirements of customers on right time then it shows that company is able to obtain successfully its significant strategies and sustainable competitive advantage and using that tools are improving the training of the organization (Barney, 2001). So the company can run it’s all operations according to its resources and its capacity that how to utilize the resources most effectively. Further when the company able to utilize it’s all resources then it can also obtain benefit from sustainable competitive advantages according to company's requirements and manage all the activities to making the performance of the organization at high level. Resource bases theory is very helpful for the organization to enhance its scope and making its performance more effective and better as compare to its competitors and company also generate high return after utilizing its own resources in most effective manner. (Design4services, 2020)

Comparison of strategic theory among two family businesses:

Bestway is the major family business and its follow the resource based theory most effectively. But with this the Nisbets is also another organization that utilizing the same theory of resource-based theory according to its requirements. Both the companies consider that competitive environment in most effective way and able to generate competitive advantages according to its performance. The resource-based theory help the organization to maximum utilize their all resources most effectively and generate an environment of competitive advantages because no one can copy the resources of the company and how it work effectively (Tehseen, Mughal, Durst, Shujahat, Qureshi, & Kokkalis, 2019). So the organizations have to manage their resources most effectively and provide lots of benefits according to new requirements. Resource-based theory means that existing resources and competencies are utilized to develop new opportunities within the organization and no need to bring new skills or traits for different opportunities. (Taher, 2010)

Organization has to consider that what kind and limit of resources we have and how to utilize all the resources most potentially because the return of the company enhance when its resources give more benefit. the organization have to manage its competitive advantage by utilizing its all resources in such a way that it can beat the market target and generate high level results according to new requirements and demands. Every organization used different type of resources according to their requirement and performance (Hansen, 2018). Bestway and Nisbets both organizations have different functions and performance is presented in different field. But both used resource based management theory and consider its all resources in most effective way as it explain in better terms that when company is unable to utilize its all resources then it can enhance the investment opportunities for other in most effective way. (GrahamWinch, 2004)

Comparison of companies according to resource based theory:

 

Bestway

Nisbets

Heterogeneous

The Bestway organization has specific resources as compare to other competitors and obtains maximum benefit by using its skills and resources. its effective management strategies are very helpful to utilize its all resources to maximum level and generate high returns according to new requirements. By utilizing its resources in most effective way the company can beat its competitors in most effective way and also enhance its level of return according to new requirements and manage in accurate way.

Nisbets has also unique resources as compare to its competitors. Its performance is very much different because its provide services to its all customers and maintain a strong position in the market so the company focus on utilizing its personal skills and all the traits that company learn to its employees. Company can obtain better understanding about the market condition and understand that how to utilize its all resources and generate more results in the market because when it utilize its skills and resources in most effective way then it can give long term benefit without taking outside resources .  

Immobile

Company has resources which are immobile.  it means that company never easily copy the other resources and focus on its own utilization according to its requirement. The resources must be unique and different from others according to new market requirement and no one can see the resources moving from one organization to another because this is not easily possible to generate the value of business.

This company more focus on its skills because its provide services and different product to its all customers and make a position in the market from many years. So it depends on the organization that how to use its own resources because duplicating the resources of others is not easy and consider very difficult for the management of organization. So it is consider a beneficial aspect that immobile resources enhance the competitive advantages in the market and company utilizes at their best level.

Valuable framework

For determine the resource of the organization , the management of the organization use VRIO framework to determine the performance of all resources and consider that is the resources completely provide benefit to the organization or not. So it helpful in explain the different variable to determine the performance and utilization of resources in most effective way and provide positive result in all aspects.

Valuable framework must be utilize by the company and its management because they have to consider all the dimension of resources that give lots of benefit for the profit generation and enhance the level of performance for taking competitive advantage. The framework of resources include four dimension; valuable, rare, imitability and organized to capture value. So these dimension help to explain the resources and its utilization in most effective way and provide lots of benefit. 

Consider the value  of resources

When the organization has ability to utilize its all resources then the organization can better understand all the tactics to generate more profit. Bestway organization has ability to understand what they have resources and how to utilize them in most effective way according to market requirement and improve its performance to generate more revenue.

Nisbets organization is one of the best organizations that utilize its all resources in most effective manner and they generate maximum results by enhancing level of performance. Company has to consider that what is the worth of resources they have, and how to utilize them in most effective way to get competitive advantages in the market? So it depends on the organization and its management that utilizes its valuable resources in most effective manner and generates more outcomes.


Future scenario about strategic management theory:

Strategic management theory is very important for every organization like Bestway or Nisbets. But for using the resource based value theory organization has top concern many issues. Many circumstances present behind the selection of resource based theory and organizations may use any competitive positions to handle in the market. These positioning involve benefits positioning, services positioning, innovation positioning, quality positioning and price positioning. So the companies have to consider any positioning to determine the resource based theory. (Ukessays, 2016)

There are also many problems face by the companies who using resource based theory only to obtain the competitive advantages by utilizing the internal resources of the organization. It may affect the market competition, regulatory policy, strategic planning and industrial organization view and many others. All the internal and external resources are necessary for the development of organization but its internal resources enhance the performance of the organization and also provide competitive advantages. The RBV framework tells that management of the organization that improves the internal resources by using these frameworks but how to improve it never inform in details. So the management of company never understand that how to enhance the internal resources by using this framework. A lack also appear in the performance of resource based value theory that is, it eliminate the role and responsibilities of managers and leaders of the organization that improve the performance of system and processes and at the results high value resources generated for the organization.

It must include the role of leaders and managers that perform active participation in the processes and system and improve the performance and working in most effective way. There are also many factors that disturb the market and create unpredictable conditions like new inventions, innovations and advancement in technology industry. These factors affect the performance of internal resources and the resource of company is considered outdated. So all the theories belong to utilization of resources is going to fail and company has to bring new and innovative resources to perform its operations. (Strategic Management Theory: Concepts, Analysis and Critiques in Relation to Corporate Competitive Advantage from the Resource‐based Philosophy, 2011)

In the stable competitive environment, the resource based value theory may work to some extent. Another conception is also present according to RBV theory that it is more effective in short term strategies and companies have to maintain their performance in long term scenario. The framework given in the RBV theory is also specific for the organizations and they have to consider only internal resources but not properly use remaining resources according to overall requirement of the organization. RBV in single terms not effective at large scale. Because it only deal with limitations and handle only resources of organization of internal level.  Resource based value is very much effective for the competitive advantages but only competitive advantages are not basic requirement of the organization. Many type of strategies and theories are useful for developing the operations of organization in most effective manner. RBV theories have to work with multiple theories and manage in the organization according to its basic goals and targets.

Company has to consider all the basic requirements about the theories and their end results according to final production. Companies have to manage all the activities according to its functional requirements and all the resources and facilities used for the organizations. Companies have to consider the usage and implementation of RBV according to their competitive advantages and maximum utilize its own resources without any external involvement.

RBV with the porter’s competitive positioning is very strong weapon for the organization at large scale. The strategy of firm must align with the environment according to Porter’s views. Customer preferences also change the utilization of resources of the organization and organization give more focus on the preference of customers. Together with the lower prices, it focuses on more customization and more responsiveness and develops the better product performance for the organizations. Porter explain the company strategy in two different dimensions; one is cost which must be lower as compare to competitors and the second is maintains the reasonable quality and price simultaneously. Demand of customer effect the performance of the organization in many ways and it will consider very important for the organization and its long term development (Rivard, Raymond, & Verreault, 2006)

All the resources and capabilities of the organization are difficult to imitate and consider dynamic in the RBV of the organization. The capabilities of the firm are establish according to the efforts and experience of the organization and these develop in the long period after some performance. Company has to understand its basic requirements and consider processes and its routines performance. The role of RBV is very impressive in performing and utilization of organization’ resources in the most effective manner.  RBV is very effective according to competitive advantage and the competitors never obtain the resources of the organization because the internal resources of the organization are not capture by other competitors and they never get benefit that enjoys the company. When the company actively works with the RBV theories according to remaining strategies then the company able to obtain long term competitive advantages in all type of scenarios.

Conclusion of strategic management theory:

            At the end of discussion, we can conclude that every company is utilizing more effective strategies for its business and try to implement such strategies that give them more benefits as compare to its competitors and beat the competitors in many ways. The internal resources of every organization are different from other companies and they have ability to manage its all resources in most effective way. By utilizing the internal resources the company can get maximum benefits and these resources are unique and different from others. For this purpose, the company is utilizing the Resource based value theory which is major part of strategic management theory. This strategy help the organization to maximum utilize their all internal resources without the support of external resources and obtain the competitive advantages. This theory focuses on effective utilization of internal resources of the organization and generates the outcome different from others. A major benefit is obtain in this regard that company never rely on external resources and try to enhance the utilization of internal resources because these internal resources are only authority of company and no any competitors can get these resources. Resource based value theory give more focus on the utilization of resources and develop a strong image in the market through its effective performance and its results. RBV theory give more effective result when its actively work with other theories and provide best outcomes that attract maximum customers and consider the market demand in most effective way.
