Denial and Defense
• “It’s not really good value our competitor is offering, because it doesn’t include a lot of our features.” - ABC vs Air Asia
• “It’s good value but not in our preferred customer market.” - ABC vs Toyota
• “Sure they’re hurting us, but with their unfair advantage, what can we do?” – ABC vs MILO
• “The rules we are playing by have always worked before” – AMEX vs VISA

Ad Hoc Tactics• Selectively hold discounts to hold business that has
started to go elsewhere• Introduce new promotions, terms, conditions, and offers to
confuse and cloud the market• Beef up customer service by adding people to fix mess-
ups and quicken delayed shipments• Delay capital investments and adjust accounting methods
to portray quarterly financial results more favorably• Introduce “new and improved” products that are new in
form, but not in substantive ways that are of consequence to purchasers
• Merge, Acquire, Joint Venture and Ally out of desperation or without proper considerations

2. Cash from Borrowings
1. Cash from Stock sale
2. Issue more stock

1. Cost Structure
2. Competitors
3. Customers
4. Critical Capabilities

www.myCNI.com.my www.OOBEY.com
• Is it a promising market?– Best when market is new and not stable– You must time your entry carefully– Entrenched companies usually delay
embracing new technology or process
• Can you win in this market?– Must be built on advantages that are tangible,
practical and easily implemented
Strategy 4: Invade Adjacent Markets
www.myCNI.com.my www.OOBEY.com
• Can you match the Standards of Competition in this Market?–You do have to meet the quality level that is
common in the market–Three Standards:- Technology,
Relationships, Business-model–You must have 80 percent of the capabilities
you need to match competitor’s Standards
Strategy 4: Invade Adjacent Markets
www.myCNI.com.my www.OOBEY.com
• Make or Buy?1. It is easier to meet the standards of
competition if you buy an existing player
2. Adjacent acquisitions must remain as a separate enterprise
3. Integrate Management Control (systems, technology)
4. Inter-transfer of management talent, knowledge and capability are important
Strategy 4: Invade Adjacent Markets
www.myCNI.com.my www.OOBEY.com
Strategy 5: Acquire new Business
• No core advantage to bring in
• Investors mind-set vs. Managers mind-set
• Value unlocking via operational improvements
• Invest in Management/Leadership
• Premium = Combined value > stand alone

Consideration: Alternative Deals to M&A
“When companies are unwilling to sell or acquisition premiums are too high, alliances are the next best thing to a
merger. In other cases, they are actually preferable to M&A”
David Hernst, Principal, McKinsey’s Washington, DC
www.myCNI.com.my www.OOBEY.com
Consideration: Alternative Deals to M&A
Joint Venture
Unite business units
Problem with shared ownership
New Product Lines
Cost Reductions
Share risk, Share Cost in new markets, R&D
Buy-out clause
Alliances Reduce non-core or commoditizing parts
Outsourcing, Offshoring
Help supplier gain Scale
Enter Complementary business

5. Investment Opportunities
www.myCNI.com.my www.OOBEY.com
Examples
1. Renewable Energy: Wind, Solar, Biomass, Hydro
2. New generation Power Fuel Cells: silicon impregnated with hydrogen, easy to transport wind/solar energy to cities
3. Sun-Wind Generator (Solar Thermal): solar at ground to produce hot air to power turbines
4. Fuel from Carbon Dioxide via Osmosis
5. Heating from Datacenters (Server, Network)
6. ‘Smart’ Electric Grid: capacity optimization without adding coal/gas
7. Energy Storage technology
