Professor Jorge Sá (PhD Columbia University; MBA Drucker University; Jean Monnet Chair; Peter Drucker speaker) gave last week a talk on:
“Philip Kotler on business strategy for brand/product managers”
The conference focused on the 14 strategic moves (6 of attack and 8 of defense) and how to implement them, conveying the message of Philip Kotler (the founder of modern marketing) that in business one can win with ten and loose with one hundred.
In this conference Professor Sá shared with the audience:
- The what – 14 types of strategies:
- Six of attack (frontal attack, guerrilla, by-pass, flanking, etc.)
- Eight of defense (signaling, creating entry barriers, global service, etc.)
- The how: the rules to follow when implementing each type of strategy;
- The when:
- When to attack and when to defend?; and
- When attacking or when defending, which type of strategy to follow?
- With whom: alone or in alliance (13 types of alliances)?
- Competitiveness is a consequence of mastering the what, the how, the when and with whom;
- Internationalization key success factors: how Toyota conquered world markets; and
- Strategies followed by other Japanese companies (Honda, Mazda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki);
The talk was based on Professor Sá’s three books “Strategy Moves”, “The War Lords” and “The Neglected Firm” (covers, indexes and back covers below):
