Recommended: Marketing mix and internet impact

The primary strategic initiative that I would recommend to Sigma would be to enter the bases of the internet when it comes to advertising. This is crucial when it comes to marketing for example, calendars are on the decline and there is a because the market for advertising in media such as calendars is decreasing and there is a serious feud in the market area. I believe that the company can exploit when it comes to expanding their online revenues and ensure the growth for profits. In addition, the company employees will have a better opportunity and great gain at Sigma. I think that it is necessary that a corporate company of this nature planet themselves on the internet. With Sigma having their larger customers requiring online ordering and

  • Six Sigma: Enhancing Organizational Contingency Factors

    1916 Words  | 4 Pages

    Organizations are typically defined by their structural dimensions since these are visible and easily calculated qualities. Although these are key to an organization’s success, even more important are the contingency factors since these are the larger settings that influence and determine the structural dimensions (Daft, 2016, p. 17). Moreover, Six Sigma has the greatest influence on these contingency factors since the overall goal of the administrative innovation is to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the organizational technology. Additionally, Six Sigma has evolved into a strategic and cultural method of thinking and performing. Consequentially, utilizing the Six Sigma method influences an organization’s technology, strategy and goals, and the culture of an organization.

  • Sun Microsystems Inc., Customer Focus Is Their Strategy

    1641 Words  | 4 Pages

    Strategic management is the ongoing process of ensuring a competitively superior fit between the organization and its ever-changing environment (Kreitner, G13). Strategic management serves as the competitive edge for the entire management process. It effectively blends strategic planning, implementation, and control. Organizations that are guided by a coherent strategic framework tend to execute even the smallest details of their mission in a coordinated fashion. The strategic management process includes the formulation of a strategy/strategic plans, implementation of the strategy, and strategic control. A clear statement of the organizational mission serves as the focal point for the entire planning process. People inside and outside the organization are given a general idea of why the organization exists and where it is headed. Working from the mission statement, management formulates the organization's strategy, a general explanation of how the organization's mission is to be accomplished. Then general intentions are translated into more concrete and measurable plans, policies, and budget allocations. Implementation is the most important part of the strategy. Strategic plans must be filtered down to lower levels to be success. Strategic plans can go astray, but a formal control system helps keep strategic plans on track. In the strategic management process general managers who adopt a strategic management perspective appreciate that strategic plans require updating and fine-tuning as conditions change. Given today's competitive pressures, management cannot afford to let strategic plans sit as is. A strategic orientation encourages farsightedness. Sun Microsystems Inc. is one company that developed a strategy to become the competitive leader and become the most reliable in the net business. I will explain how Sun's strategy integrates their marketing, management, technology, and service functions into one effective strategy. First I'll discuss who Sun is and what encouraged them to develop their strategy.

When asked to review Dell and it's marketing strategy I looked closely at it weakness and threats, because once you address a company weakness it then has the possibility of becoming a strength and when you acknowledge threats to a corporation, the company can then take the appropriate action to alleviate the threat. My recommendation to Dell would be not to make any grand changes, to continue observing the computer technology market and continue to make amend changes as necessary.

    Diversification or further investing in the current portfolio would not have been the solution. Understanding the market needs is more than understanding technological advancement because innovation should be market driven. In this case, both strategies could still have been practical but with the customers’ needs in mind. Additionally, increasing production efficiency in retention of current business strategy could also have boosted its revenues by reducing wastage or idle time. Considering not all countries move at the same technological level, the company could still have invested in supplying the outdated products to places such as India or Africa. However, as the CEO there is a need to pursue the best strategy by focusing on what works our best but still have the customers ' mind at heart (Xerox Maps Business Service Strategy,
