Strategic Management

Aruberusan seeks to help companies exploit their best and strongest capabilities through a properly researched and formulated long-term strategy. A strategy can be based upon any expertise, strengths, core competencies, competitive capabilites that the company has.

Strong strategic and financial performance usually, but not always, indicate a likely strong, well-conceived and well-executed strategy. Weak strategic and financial performance usually indicate a weak strategy or weak execution (or both). Usually the situation is one of two. Either there is no proper long-term strategy or the strategy is placing heavy demands on areas where the company is weakest or has unproven capabilities.

Strategy analysis and management

Companies often suffer from an incomplete or a lopsided strategy. The important thing is thus to determine how well the present strategy is working by using trends in market share, profit margins, net profits, ROI, sales volumes, credit ranking, image and reputation with customers etc.

• Environmental scan
• SWOT analysis
• Strategic cost analysis and value chains
• Identifying known strategic issues and analysing recent strategic moves

This multitude of tools exists to help us determine more precisely the problematic areas and highlight deficiencies in implementation. Mostly though your staff will be well aware of problems and will help highlight them rather quickly given half a chance.

Once the strategy analysis is done and we know the problems as well as strengths and weaknesses of the company, we can propose an updated strategy that builds on the strengths of the company and an implementation that takes into account the realities of the market and the internals of the company.

Strategic marketing

There is a number of parameters that determine how the company performs marketing. Nowadays, we have so much sofistication in the marketing tools and we can develop the marketing strategy so precisely that it literally pays to invoke the advances in the science of marketing to serve your company and your clients better.

• Competitive position (Porter's 5 forces analysis)
• Competitive approach (low-cost leadership, differentiation, focus etc.)
• Competitive scope (stages of industry's production or distribution chain, geographic coverage, customer base)

These tools can help determine the precise marketing strategy and stay up to date on the competition in the future. And the correct marketing strategy often means life and death for a company.

Strategic product planning

Product planning is often performed as part of either marketing planning or production planning. However, it is very crucial that the company remains competitive with its product not only today but for years into the future. That is why strategic long-term product planning is of such importance. What we plan today will be our bread tomorrow.

The competitive analysis and business intelligence are of great help to the strategic product planning. Knowing your competition's long-term plans may mean that your products can be positioned cleverly to take advantage of certain things neglected or overlooked by the competitors.

The strategic product planning has an impact on the investments into research and vice versa. These two better complement and support each other. The companies must make sure that their strategy leads to the streamlined investment into research and strategic product planning directed towards a set of common goals.
