Tomorrows Global Giants-MNCs vs Local Companies

Description
A strategy presentation on local companies vs global MNC's.

Tomorrow’s global giants

Overview
? Established companies dominate knowledge and

brand intensive businesses ? Local companies hold an adv in industries where production and logistics matter the most.
? What kind of multinational- emerging or

established is going to prevail ? ? Can companies break the above pattern ?

Segment evolution
? Established companies take early lead in high

end , high performance industries
? Local do so in low end and low performance

industries
? The MNC that can quickly follow changing

customer needs will be positioned to invade into others territory

Exploiting segment evolution
? Being close to market helps overcomes product weakness :E.g. :

Taobao vs. Google/Amazon
? Customer knowledge helps spot opportunities to bundle ancillary

services and products – e.g.: suzlon in India
? But market evolution doesn’t always favor the locals :
? MNCs can move into new fast growing segments aggressively ? Use technology and capital to accelerate segment growth

? MNC’s trying to adapt & innovate in a big emerging market have to

display tactical imagination to compensate for the local relationships native customers enjoy- go for partnerships

Managing cost convergence
? Cost advantage no longer stays with the emerging market

challenger- and the change accelerates up the value ladder.
? Established MNCs erode the advantage , forcing locals to

move into higher value offerings and low cost markets
? As locals evolve thus, it opens up markets for MNC at the

low end. – locals move up the ladder, MNCs move down.
? To compete globally? Aggregate knowledge about designing, innovating and

managing across borders

Reworking the value chain
? Emerging players are building global leaderships

positions by creating vertical, focused businesses
? Concentrating efforts on gaps /pockets rather than a

whole industry, often collaborating with MNCs
? Specialize in a certain part of the value chain and

outsource the rest
? Specialization confers competitive advantage on

local companies

Management challenges
Established MNCs
? Work hard at

Local Players
? Lower costs and more fully

coordinating actions and try new management structures and ways of being more responsive ? Slower movement and higher costs and biggest vulnerabilities ? Rapid turnover , freeing up senior management for new positions in developing markets is a problem

? ? ? ? ? ?

adapted to emerging markets Products built around their early successful launches Simple mgmt structure Ability to manage large workforces in one location Low overhead costs Design standard workflows and feedback Vulnerability – inexperience in coordination and conflict management, lack of knowledge depth about global consumer and

What’s the right mgmt structure ?
? P&G’s approach ? Decision makers clearly identified for most

situations ? All Lines of the org receive same info on all business aspects ? Senior people are co located ? Explicit tie breaking rules ? Working for both product group and geographical organization a must to get promoted.

Mgmt challenges – the solutions
? Strategic alliances key to global growth

? Don’t get weighed down by organizational

legacies

Need tighter –knit, faster responding, global management mechanisms and decision making capabilities in order to succeed.

Steps taken on both sides
? Local MNCs using better control systems to track

performance and risk in new markets
? Less centralized decision making ? Greater emphasis on leadership potential in selecting

overseas managers
? More explicit training of overseas hires

? Focus on upgrading, radical experimentation and co-

operating mindset are being practiced to tap expertise on either side.
