Peranan Corporate Strategy dalam Kesuksesan-kegagalan Merger & Akuisisi: suatu Telaah Literatur

Most empirical studies and literature reviews documented that the final results of the wave of mergers and acquisitions in the United States, Canada, and European countries during the decade of 1980s, 1990s and 2000s were always dissatisfactory. In fact, the extent of the failure is higher than the success.However, a comprehensive investigation on the factors motivating the rise of mergers and acquisitions and the causes for success and failure is still rare. This paper reviews the contribution of corporate strategy in success and failure of mergers and acquisitions during three decades. Specifically, this paper reviews literatures with respect to the motives of corporate mergers and acquisitions actions and the trigger factors of their failures. The result of the literature review shows that corporate strategy has a significant contribution to the extent of the success and failure of corporate mergers and acquisitions. The review finds that trigger factors of mergers and acquisitions failure are the ambiguous communications and cross-cultural gaps, inappropriate and insufficient integration and transformation of new corporate culture, incompatible leadership style accustomed with a new corporate climate, inappropriate corporate planning and internal consolidation, inappropriate anatomy of organizational internal factors, and erroneousness in choosing the partners and the timing of mergers and acquisitions. To ensure the successful and sustainability of corporatemergers and acquisitions, therefore, top management and task force of mergers and acquisitions need to accurately consider those internal and external organization factors

Corporate real estate asset management : aligned vision

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the relationship between corporate strategy and corporate real estate (CRE) strategy. Design/methodology/approach – The paper will identify, and evaluate, a number of components that collectively form the CRE strategy. Linkages between the business environment, the aims and objectives of the organisation and the real estate solution will be explored. Findings – The paper will illustrate the alignment of the CRE strategy to the corporate strategy through the development of a CRE alignment model. The model will demonstrate that only when optimum alignment is achieved can the CRE strategy deliver added value and enhanced organisational performance. Practical implications – CRE managers can use the model to evaluate the alignment of their CRE strategy with their corporate strategy. Originality/value – The paper fills a void by proposing a framework that seeks to identify the true impact of real estate to business by examining the benefits of optimal alignment between, planet, position, purpose, place, paradigm, processes and people to produce performance and productivity.</p

Baan Company’s Corporate Web Strategy – An Effort To Reach Main Street

During the 1990s Baan Company became a market leader in the enterprise applications industry. Its mission was to become an independent software manufacturer, serving a global market. To speed up growth, Baan developed its Baan Web strategy which implied a far-reaching renewal of its corporate strategy. Burgelman and Grove (1996) define the moment of choosing a new strategy as a strategic inflection point. Their framework named “Dynamic Forces in Firm Evolution†explains that ssuccessful development and implementation of a new corporate strategy is a process of aligning five dynamic forces. The focus of this study is on the vital role of the internal selection environment. This force regulates the allocation of the company’s scarce resources – cash, competences/capabilities and senior management attention – to strategic action. It is the crucial force in the continuing alignment processes that have to take place. Every company has a unique combination of distinctive competences (Burgelman) or dynamic capabilities (Teece). The study explains that to execute a new strategy successfully new competences/capabilities have to be developed based on existent ones. The development of Baan’s corporate strategy is analyzed and discussed with reference to the Technology Adoption Life Cycle (Moore). The study concludes with the management implications of a strategic inflection point.globalization;growth;dynamic capabilities;ERP;software;business web;corporate strategy;distinctive competences;strategic inflection point

Syngenta and Sustainability: Implications for Corporate Strategy

This poster was inspired by a case study developed by Syngenta, a global crop protection and seed company, in collaboration with Purdue University. As a company dedicated to promoting innovation, delivering value, and being a leader in its industry, Syngenta faces both challenges and opportunities with respect to the sustainability debate. This poster presents the major issues of sustainability in a global context, in an agribusiness context, and finally in the specific case of Syngenta. The concluding discussion represents the perspectives of a group of agribusiness professionals that discussed this case study in an executive education program on the Purdue University campus.Sustainability, strategy, agribusiness, Agribusiness, Food Security and Poverty,

Astroturf: Interest Group Lobbying and Corporate Strategy

We study three corporate nonmarket strategies designed to influence the lobbying behavior of other special interest groups: (1) astroturf, in which the firm covertly subsidizes a group with similiar views to lobby when it normally would not; (2) the bear hug, in which the firm overtly pays a group to alter its lobbying activitives; and (3) self-regulation, in which the firm voluntarily limits the potential social harm from its activities. All three strategies reduce the informativeness of lobbying, and all reduce the payoff of the public decision-maker. We show that the decision-maker would benefit by requiring the public disclosure of funds but that the availability of alternative strategies limits the impact of such a policy.

Corporate strategy revisited: A view from complexity theory

Despite its long tradition and well known contributions, corporate strategy research is yet far from being mature. This paper proposes an innovative framework that approaches the field from the theoretical perspective provided by complexity theory. We propose to see the corporate level of the organization as the driver, pacer and framer of the overall firm's evolution process. Drive is provided by the cognitive representation of the corporate fitness landscape that is implicit in the firm's corporate plan. Pacing is a consequence of the kind of strategic initiatives ("search strategy") developed by the company. Framing is achieved through the architectural design that the corporate level implements for the firm.corporate strategy; complexity theory; self-organizing;
