POD948 - The current financial crisis and beyond

[LESS INFO] 21 VIEWS | ADDED 12:37:21 04/30/10
A recurring theme in our recent series of webcasts on leading in turbulent times has been to look beyond the current financial crisis and anticipate more permanent changes that it will bring to the business landscape. During the recent Orchestrating Winning Performance (OWP) program at IMD, we surveyed the attending CEOs on what they saw as the contours of this emerging landscape and what it meant for managing their businesses. The table below lists some of the questions asked, and a summary of their responses.

To recap, industry clusters in China are on a different scale to their equivalents in other parts of the world. Here they can represent several thousand enterprises, from small to large, in a limited geographic area and all engaged in the same sector. From silk ties to socks to auto accessories - each industry has its cluster in China.

Many of us are familiar with the concept of industry clusters and may be aware of Michael Porter’s framework, The Competitiveness of Nations. But industry clusters in China are altogether different. Rather than a grouping of a few major firms by region or country, industry clusters in China can represent several thousand enterprises, from small to large, in a limited geographic area and all engaged in the same sector. From silk ties to socks to auto accessories - each is part of a cluster in China.

The reforms that are being put in place post-recession are looking set to change the financial world as we know it - in some ways dramatically. As everyone begins to dust themselves off - albeit cautiously - people and corporations need to have a clear understanding of what these new proposals mean for individuals and corporations alike. What is the future of financial markets? What are the roles of hedge funds, investment banks, rating agencies - all pieces of the puzzle which, to a greater or lesser extent, have very much been seen as culprits of the 2007 crisis?

Survival mode involves only a limited amount of energy and opportunistic thinking - and it is up to leaders to inspire oft over-extended, frustrated people and help them to see the opportunities that come with any crisis. In order to lead the switch from the prevailing negative mindset to the idea that we are poised for a recovery, leaders need to "lead at the edge" - or - in other words, lead the way to a positive mindset and a state of inspired energy.

The United States is still the most competitive economy in the world, Denmark is the country best equipped to deal with the current world economic crisis, and the economic crisis has undoubtedly taken its toll on certain countries, including Ireland and Taiwan, both of which are dropping in competitiveness. These are some of the results of IMD’s 2009 World Competitiveness Rankings - the world’s most renowned, comprehensive Annual Report on the competitiveness of nations - which sets out to rank and analyze how a nation’s environment creates and sustains the competitiveness of enterprises.

As part of IMD’s series on "Leading in turbulent times", Professor Jacques Horovitz explains why now, more than ever, it’s time to put the customer first... When times are good and your company is growing, you tend to focus on markets - increasing market share or targeting new markets - and it’s easy to forget about your customers.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who came from a very poor family in the countryside in China. When she was 16, her father could no longer afford for her to attend school and gave her RMB 600 (the equivalent of around US $80) hoping she could set herself up to earn a living with it. The girl rented a three square meter space tucked behind a barber’s shop, and started selling shoes. Because space was so limited, she biked to get a few pairs of shoes each week and once sold would return for more. After a few years, our girl had saved enough money to rent the whole barber’s shop. In five years, she had made a million RMB in a region where the average annual income was about RMB 2,000 at that time.

As much as I consider myself a realist on matters related to the global economy - indeed some call me a pessimist - never would I have believed that in my lifetime I would be seeing anything remotely resembling the 1930s. I did invariably remonstrate with those who in the booming last couple of decades would claim that "globalization was irreversible". Nonsense, globalization has been repeatedly reversed throughout history. But I never expected it would go quite so far.

Credit crunch, downturn, recession, layoffs - open a newspaper today and these are the words that leap off the page. When cash is tight, people and companies are only too happy to turn to cheaper alternatives. Firms with a strong brand are undoubtedly in a better position, but it is becoming clear that in many sectors, people and companies are willing to give up brand and premium quality for "good enough" quality and lower prices. In many industries, low cost competitors are winning, while their traditional rivals are sailing on turbulent seas.

January 2009 and it’s official. Recession is here. After the "are we, aren't we" of the past six months, the bright side is that now any doubt has gone, it’s time to risk predicting the future so contingency plans can be made. How long will it take us to get out of it and into what kind of world are we going to emerge on the other side of the recession? What will Obama bring to the table? What influence does he have on what happens in the US economy? What will kick start the economy? Will businesses increase their Asian focus? Will China and India be the saviour of the emerging markets? How will currencies play out in the next six to twelve months?

POD7106 Leading and managing profitable growth
12/17/07

In a fast changing environment, leading and managing profitable growth is critical for the development of sustainable competitive advantage. Every day, top executives increasingly face pressure for short term results, slower growth in many developed markets, more international competition from China in particular, a polarization of traditional markets (with mainstream segments squeezed between low cost and high-end brands), not enough leadership in strategy and change execution and more demanding boards to deliver ambitious business results. What it takes to succeed today and tomorrow is to understand all the forces that shape the new business world, to continuously challenge the ways we conduct business and to revisit traditional managerial processes.
