3.3 Clyde Williams is facing a dilemma. He has successfully built up a small family-owned company, Concrete SolutionsLtd, manufacturing a range of concrete based products used in making roads, pavements and walkways. Theproduction technology is very low tech and uses simple wooden moulds into which the concrete is poured. As aconsequence he is able to use low skilled and low cost labour, which would find it difficult to find alternativeemployment in a region with high unemployment levels. The company has employed many of its workforce since itscreation in 1996. The company’s products are heavy, bulky and costly to transport. This means its market is limitedto a 30-mile area around the small rural town where the manufacturing facility is located. Its customers are a mix ofprivate sector building firms and public sector local councils responsible for maintaining roads and pavements. By itsnature much of the demand is seasonal and very price sensitive.A large international civil engineering company has recently approached Clyde with an opportunity to become asupplier of concrete blocks used in a sophisticated system for preventing coast and riverbank erosion. The processinvolves interlocking blocks being placed on a durable textile base. Recent trends in global warming and pressure inmany countries to build in areas liable to flooding have created a growing international market for the patented erosionprevention system. Clyde has the opportunity to become the sole UK supplier of the blocks and to be one of a smallnumber of suppliers able to export the blocks to Europe. To do it he will need to invest a significant amount in CAM(computer aided manufacturing) technology with a linked investment in the workforce skills needed to operate thenew technology. The net result will be a small increase in the size of the labour force but redundancy for a significantnumber of its existing workers either unwilling or unable to adapt to the demands of the new technology. Successfulentry into this new market will reduce his reliance on the seasonal low margin concrete products he currently producesand significantly improve profitability.One further complication exists. Concrete Solutions is located in a quiet residential area of its home town. Clyde isunder constant pressure from the local residents and their council representatives to reduce the amount of noise anddust created in the production process. Any move into making the new blocks will increase the pollution problemsthe residents face. There is a possibility of moving the whole manufacturing process to a site on a new industrial estatebeing built by the council in a rival town. However closure of the existing site would lead to a loss of jobs in the currentlocation. Clyde has asked for your help in resolving his dilemma.Required:(a) Using models where appropriate, advise Clyde on whether he should choose to take advantage of theopportunity offered by the international company.

  • 第1题:

    (b) ‘Strategic positioning’ is about the way that a company as a whole is placed in its environment and concerns its

    ‘fit’ with the factors in its environment.

    With reference to the case as appropriate, explain how a code of ethics can be used as part of a company’s

    overall strategic positioning. (7 marks)


    正确答案:
    (b) Code of ethics and strategic positioning
    Strategic positioning is about the way that a whole company is placed in its environment as opposed to the operational level,
    which considers the individual parts of the organisation.
    Ethical reputation and practice can be a key part of environmental ‘fit’, along with other strategic issues such as generic
    strategy, quality and product range.
    The ‘fit’ enables the company to more fully meet the expectations, needs and demands of its relevant stakeholders – in this
    case, European customers.
    The ‘quality’ of the strategic ‘fit’ is one of the major determinants of business performance and so is vital to the success of
    the business.
    HPC has carefully manoeuvred itself to have the strategic position of being the highest ethical performer locally and has won
    orders on that basis.
    It sees its strategic position as being the ethical ‘benchmark’ in its industry locally and protects this position against its parent
    company seeking to impose a new code of ethics.
    The ethical principles are highly internalised in Mr Hogg and in the company generally, which is essential for effective strategic
    implementation.

  • 第13题:

    (c) Define ‘retirement by rotation’ and explain its importance in the context of Rosh and Company.

    (5 marks)


    正确答案:
    (c) Retirement by rotation.
    Definition
    Retirement by rotation is an arrangement in a director’s contract that specifies his or her contract to be limited to a specific
    period (typically three years) after which he or she must retire from the board or offer himself (being eligible) for re-election.
    The director must be actively re-elected back onto the board to serve another term. The default is that the director retires
    unless re-elected.
    Importance of
    Retirement by rotation reduces the cost of contract termination for underperforming directors. They can simply not be
    re-elected after their term of office expires and they will be required to leave the service of the board as a retiree (depending
    on contract terms).
    It encourages directors’ performance (they know they are assessed by shareholders and reconsidered every three years) and
    focuses their minds upon the importance of meeting objectives in line with shareholders’ aims.
    It is an opportunity, over time, to replace the board membership whilst maintaining medium term stability of membership
    (one or two at a time).
    Applied to Rosh
    Retirement by rotation would enable the board of Rosh to be changed over time. There is evidence that some directors may
    have stayed longer than is ideal because of links with other board members going back many years.
