If the answer to the question whether the company should continue in the existing business is affirmative and if the company is doing reasonably well in that business but no scope for significant growth, the strategy to be adopted is stability.<\/h5>\n
(The stability strategy is sometimes referred to as neutral strategy).<\/h5>\n
A firm following stability strategy continues its current business and product portfolios; maintains the existing level of effort; and is satisfied with incremental marginal growth.<\/h5>\n
It focuses on improving its business operations and improving functional efficiencies through better deployment of resources.<\/h5>\n
As Jauch and Glueck observe, a stability strategy is a strategy that a firm pursues when:<\/h5>\n
It continues to serve the customers in the same product or service, market, and functional sectors as defined in its business definition, or in very similar sectors.<\/h5>\n
Its main strategic decisions focus on incremental improvement of functional performance.<\/h5>\n
The stability strategy is not a “do nothing” strategy.<\/h5>\n
As indicated above, it may involve incremental improvements.<\/h5>\n
It also requires adoption of appropriate competitive strategies to remain successful in the business.<\/h5>\n
It may also have to make offensive and defensive moves vis-a- vis the competitors.<\/h5>\n
Long-term stability strategy also requires reinvestment, R&D and innovation. However, the business definition remains the same.<\/h5>\n
In short, this “do-the-same thing” strategy endeavours to “do-the-same thing better.”<\/h5>\n
This strategy is common with large and dominant companies in mature industries where the important challenge is to maintain the current position.<\/h5>\n
Another category of industries this strategy is common with is the regulated industries such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, etc.<\/h5>\n
Many family dominated small and medium companies also prefer this strategy.<\/h5>\n
A firm may choose stability overgrowth by continuing its current activities without any significant change in its path.<\/h5>\n
A firm following a stability strategy continues its current business and product portfolios; maintains the existing level of effort; and is satisfied with incremental marginal growth.<\/h5>\n
It focuses on improving its business operations and improving functional efficiencies through better deployment of resources.<\/h5>\n
In other words, a firm is said to follow a stability\/ consolidation strategy if:<\/h5>\n
1. It decides to serve the same markets with the same products.<\/h5>\n
2. It continues to pursue the same objectives with a strategic push for incremental improvement of functional performances.<\/h5>\n
3. It focuses on its resources in a narrow product-market sphere for developing a meaningful competitive advantage.<\/h5>\n
Following a stability strategy does not mean that a firm lacks concern for business growth. It only means that their growth targets are modest and that they wish to maintain the status quo. Since products, markets and functions remain unchanged, a stability strategy is basically a defensive strategy.<\/h5>\n
Stability strategy is perceived as a non-growth strategy. As a matter of fact, a stability strategy does provide space for growth, though to a limited extent, in the existing product-market area to achieve current business objectives. Implementing a stability strategy does not imply stagnation as the basic drive is to maintain the current level of performance with incremental growth.<\/h5>","protected":false},"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-35085","lesson","type-lesson","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nLesson 3: Stability Strategy - Certifeka-edu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/ar\/programs\/sample-course\/lessons\/lesson-3-stability-strategy-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ar_AR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lesson 3: Stability Strategy - Certifeka-edu\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lesson 3: Corporate Strategy – Part Two 1.
