Lesson 2: Corporate Strategy VS. Marketing Strategy
\n<\/h2>\n

Corporate strategy main tasks- Strategic Tradeoffs
\n<\/h3>\n

One of the most challenging aspects of corporate strategy is balancing the tradeoffs between risk and return across the firm.<\/h5>\n
It’s important to have a holistic view of all the businesses combined and ensure that the desired levels of risk management and return generation are being pursued.<\/h5>\n
Below are the main factors to consider for strategic tradeoffs:<\/h5>\n

\u00a0\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Managing risk
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Firm-wide risk is largely depending on the strategies it chooses to pursue. True product differentiation, for example, is a very high-risk strategy that could result in a market leadership position or total ruin. Many companies adopt a copycat strategy by looking at what other risk-takers have done and modifying it slightly. It’s important to be fully aware of strategies and associated risks across the firm. Some areas might require true differentiation (or cost leadership) but other areas might be better suited to copycat strategies that rely on incremental improvements. The degree of autonomy business units have is important in managing this risk.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Generating returns
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Higher risk strategies create the possibility of higher rates of return. The examples above of true product differentiation or cost leadership could provide the most return in the long run if they are well executed. Swinging for the fences will lead to more home runs and more strikeouts, so it’s important to have the appropriate number of options in the portfolio. These options can later turn into big bets as the strategy develops.<\/h5>\n

\u00a0
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n

\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Incentives
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Incentive structures will play a big role in how much risk and how much return managers seek. It may be necessary to separate the responsibilities of risk management and return generation so that each can be pursued to the desired level It may further help to manage multiple overlapping timelines, ranging from the short-term risk\/return to long-term risk\/return and ensuring there is appropriate dispersion<\/h5>\n
