STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
Strategic management is the continuous planning, monitoring, analysis and assessment of all
that is necessary for an organization to meet its goals and objectives.
Strategic management is the management of an organization’s resources to achieve its goals
and objectives. Strategic management involves setting objectives, analyzing the competitive
environment, analyzing the internal organization, evaluating strategies and ensuring that
management rolls out the strategies across the organization. At its heart, strategic
management involves identifying how the organization stacks up compared to its competitors
and recognizing opportunities and threats facing an organization, whether they come from
within the organization or from competitors.
The strategic management process involves analyzing cross-functional business decisions
prior to implementing them. Strategic management typically involves:
Analyzing internal and external strengths and weaknesses.
Formulating action plans.
Executing action plans.
Evaluating to what degree action plans have been successful and making changes when
desired results are not being produced.
Strategic Management gives a broader perspective to the employees of an organization and
they can better understand how their job fits into the entire organizational plan and how it is
co-related to other organizational members.
One of the major role of strategic management is to incorporate various functional areas of
the organization completely, as well as, to ensure these functional areas harmonize and get
together well. Another role of strategic management is to keep a continuous eye on the goals
and objectives of the organization.

STRATEGIC APPLICATION AT BAJAJ AUTO
DIVERSIFIED BUSINESS MODEL
Bajaj Auto has a dominant position in the 125+cc premium motorcycle category (high-
margin segment) and in passenger three wheelers. Also the company Exports to countries like
Africa, Middle East, & Latin America which enables the company to maintain superior
margins & highest profitability compared to the industry peers. Overall the company has
healthy regional mix & product mix that drive overall volumes & help it to sustain margins.
Diversification is a corporate strategy to enter into a new market or industry which the
business is not currently in, whilst also creating a new product for that new market. This is a
risky section, as the business has no experience in the new market and does not know if the
product is going to be successful. The notion of diversification depends on the subjective
interpretation of “new” market and “new” product, which should reflect the perceptions of
customers rather than managers. Indeed, products tend to create or stimulate new markets;
new markets promote product innovation.
Product diversification involves addition of new products to existing products either being
manufactured or being marketed. Expansion of the existing product line with related products
is one such method adopted by many businesses. Adding tooth brushes to tooth paste or tooth
powders or mouthwash under the same brand or under different brands aimed at different
segments is one way of diversification. These are either brand extensions or product
extensions to increase the volume of sales and the number of customers
14. 14
BUSINESS LEVEL STRATEGY OF BAJAJ AUTO
In the long 64 years of its business life in India Bajaj Auto has changed its business level
strategy from time to time as it evolved through the difficulties of the demand of the market.
In the very early stage the company was in a joint technical collaboration with Italy’s Piaggio
&Company.
Bajaj Auto then used to manufacture and market Piaggio’s Vespa Brand Scooters. For the
first 20 years of its history Bajaj Auto didn’t feel to introduce any new product due to the
great demand of Vespa Scooters. As the agreement with Piaggio expired in 1971, Bajaj Auto
launched three wheeler goods carrier in1971.
In 1972 a new model named ‘Chetak ’was launched. Thereafter came a timeline of new
releases like Bajaj super, Bajaj M-50. After the two-wheeler industry was liberalized Bajaj
Auto collaborated with Japan’s Kawasaki Motors. Models like Kawasaki-Bajaj KB 100,
Bajaj Sunny were released.
Bajaj Auto Ltd. has always targeted the middle class Indian to expand their market. When the
global MNCs like Honda Motors, Yamaha and Suzuki started their business in India by
merging with various Indian business groups Bajaj Auto felt an immediate threat.
They changed their business tagline from ‘You just can’t beat a Bajaj’ to ‘Hamara Bajaj’. In
1998, the environment became more complicated. Hero-Honda was gearing up to contest
Bajaj Auto’s dominance in the scooter market. There was a million dollar question to the
managers of Bajaj Auto: What products should it make to dominate India’s two and three
wheeler companies.
In 1996, the major challenges the company was facing were
Share in customer’s mind,
Product differentiation,
Customer satisfaction,
Customer retention
Cost control.
15. 15
To complete the transition of a new Bajaj Auto, the management team gave priorities
In accessing new technologies,
Introducing new models, making a strong presence in the rapidly growing motorcycle
market, creating a marketing culture,
Revamping manufacturing practices,
Focusing on quality,
Improving the supply chain and to integrate into a conservative corporate culture.
STRATEGIES FOR THE OVERSEAS MARKETS
Bajaj Auto looks at external markets primarily with three strategies.
A market where all BAL need to do is distribute through CKD or CBU routes.
Markets where BAL need to create new products.
Markets where BAL need to enter with existing products and probably with a good
distributor or a production facility or a joint venture.
Earlier, most of the products that Bajaj exported were scooters and some motorcycles.
However, in its target markets, like in India, the shift was towards motorcycles. With the
expansion in Bajaj's own range to almost five-six platforms of motorcycles, it had a better
offering to export, also the reason for its stronger showing. For the last fiscal, 60 per cent of
its exports were two-wheelers and the rest three-wheelers. Of the two-wheeler exports, close
to 90 per cent were motorcycles.
17. 17
LAW
Law is a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions. It shapes politics,
economics and society in numerous ways and serves as the foremost social mediator in
relations between people. Law governs a wide variety of social activities.
People living in an organized society have to follow certain common rules and the state has to
enforce these rules. Law is the sum of these rules which regulate the life of people.
Otherwise, peaceful living is impossible.
Law is a rule of external human action enforced by a sovereign political authority.
LEGAL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS
Legal aspects are an indispensable part of a successful business environment in any country.
They reflect the policy framework and the mindset of the Governmental structure of that
country. They ensure that every company is functioning as per the statutory framework of the
country. Every enterprise must take into account this legal set up while framing the basic
aims and objectives of its company. This is because; it is necessary for efficient and healthy
functioning of the organisation and helps it to know about the rights, responsibilities as well
as the challenges that it may have to face.
When starting up a new business it is very important to look at the legal aspects which will
influence the company in the future. In this part of the information file there will be the most
important legal aspects for running a student company. First there is the selection of business
form, in which there will be a comparison between the different possible forms. Afterwards a
description of how the student company will work with contracts and partners. And finally
there is an explanation of the typical legal aspects such as profit tax and dividend.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
International business is defined as commercial transactions that occur across country
borders.
International business comprises of all commercial transactions that take place between two
or more regions, countries and nations beyond their political boundaries. Usually, private
companies undertake transactions for profit; governments undertake them for profit and
for political reasons. The term "international business" refers to all those business activities
which involve cross-border transactions of goods, services, resources between two or more
nations. Transactions of economic resources include capital, skills, people etc. for
international production of physical goods and services such as finance, banking, insurance,
construction etc.
International business grew over the last half of the twentieth century partly because of
liberalization of both trade and investment, and partly because doing business internationally
had become easier. In terms of liberalization, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
(GATT) negotiation rounds resulted in trade liberalization, and this was continued with the
formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995. At the same time, worldwide
capital movements were liberalized by most governments, particularly with the advent of
electronic funds transfers.
OBJECTIVES
Sales expansion,
Resource acquisition,
Risk minimization,
Diversification of their revenue stream

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PRACTISES OF BAJAJ AUTO
Bajaj is India's largest exporter of two and three-wheelers. “It exports to 62 countries and
enjoys No.1 or No.2 position in 20 of them. During FY2015, exports accounted for 46.2% of
the Company’s net sales,” the annual report states. It also notes strong market share
improvements across South Asia, West Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Its “Discover” and “Pulsar” models continued to gain market share in the key markets like
Colombia, Central America, Egypt, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, while “Boxer”, the cheapest
model, continued to not only hold the market share in Africa, but gained at the expense of
Chinese brands in the East African and Nigerian markets, the report says.
Bajaj Auto, India’s third largest two-wheeler manufacturer, is exploring Russia's yet small
but rapidly growing motorcycle market. Bajaj has already finalized a distributor in Russia and
has recently shipped several containers.
"We estimate the commuter motorcycle segment to be at about 25,000 units pa. This may
increase with improvements in the economy. We will target the commuter segment of
motorcycles particularly in the 125 cc to 250 cc range," Rakesh Sharma, President
International Business, Bajaj Auto Ltd told in the interview with RIR.
According to the company’s latest Annual report, in FY2015, Bajaj Auto sold over 3.29
million motorcycles in India and abroad, 15.5 per cent lower than in 2014, due largely to lack
of consumer demand. However, Bajaj's exports increased by 14 per cent to 1.81 million units,
worth over US$ 1.5 billion in 2015.
The maker of Pulsar and Avenger motorcycle brands has reported a decline in exports
volume in the last few months because of political and economic uncertainties in some of its
export markets, particularly in oil-producing emerging markets. Bajaj plans to maintain its
leadership in the export market by expanding into newer markets-a plan that some analysts
are skeptical about given the current stress on emerging market economies and their
currencies.
21. 21
Rakesh Sharma, president of international business at Bajaj Auto, said the company is
executing an aggressive expansion plan to get into newer countries. This, coupled with the
recent market share gains, will hold the firm in good stead and minimize the impact of any
macroeconomic headwinds.
Exports, which account for more than four out of 10 motorcycles made by the company, have
been under pressure lately. In the eight months from April to November, Bajaj’s motorcycles
exports dropped 3.7% to 1.04 million units from a year earlier, according to Society of Indian
Automobile Manufacturers or Siam. Even in December, exports fell 12% to 145,000 units,
Bajaj said in a statement on 4 January.
This is due to factors including shortage of foreign exchange and currency devaluation in
emerging markets such as Egypt and Nigeria in Africa. Africa accounts for 45% of Bajaj
Auto’s total exports. A fall in commodity prices has led to a lower inflow of foreign currency
into these markets, which, in turn, is preventing dealers from stocking up.
THE KTM CONNECT
For the US and China markets, Bajaj Auto will partner with KTM, the company it bought
equity in 2012 and in which it has a 48 percent stake. Autocar Professional first broke the
news about Bajaj Auto's China entry plan in its January 15, 2014 issue. KTM has a JV with
China’s Hangzhou-based CF Moto. In the US market, Bajaj will look at launching the bigger
Pulsars (400cc), but that could be 2-3 years away.
Last year, Bajaj Auto had a share of over 66 percent in motorcycle exports from India. “Some
companies may want to be either a regional or domestic player. Each company has finite
resources. We want to be a global player," says Bajaj.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Industry analysis is a tool that facilitates a company's understanding of its position relative to
other companies that produce similar products or services. Understanding the forces at work
in the overall industry is an important component of effective strategic planning. Industry
analysis enables small business owners to identify the threats and opportunities facing their
businesses, and to focus their resources on developing unique capabilities that could lead to a
competitive advantage.
Industry analysis—also known as Porter’s Five Forces Analysis—is a very useful tool for
business strategists. It is based on the observation that profit margins vary between industries,
which can be explained by the structure of an industry.
The Five Forces primary purpose is to determine the attractiveness of an industry. However,
the analysis also provides a starting point for formulating strategy and understanding the
competitive landscape in which a company operates.
27. 27
RIVALRY AMONG EXISTING FIRMS
Rivalry among existing firms for Bajaj Auto is High.
The two-wheeler industry is categorized by intense competition mainly between the three
majors – Bajaj Auto, Hero Honda & T V S Motor Co. There are also some small players who
are gaining market share such as LML & Kinetic. The industry is constantly witnessing price-
cuts, freebies & product launches.
The industry rivalry is extremely high with any product being matched in a few months by
competitor.
This instinct of the industry is primarily driven by the technical capabilities acquired over
years of gestation under the technical collaboration with international players.
THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS
Threat of new entrants is High.
The barriers to entry & exit are high. The three big players dominate the two-wheeler sector -
Bajaj Auto, Hero Honda & T V S Motor Co.
The investment required to compete with these giants would be significant. Thus it is very
difficult for newcomers to enter this sector. The industry attractiveness is low not due to
profit margin but due to intense & well established competitors
The market runs on high economies of scale.
The need for technical expertise is high.
Owning a strong distribution network is important and is very costly.
28. 28
BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS
Bargaining power of suppliers for Bajaj Auto is Poor.
The two-wheeler industry they rely on only a few selected vendors. Thus the bargaining
power is poor. Around 60%-90% of the product is outsourced thus the suppliers have a direct
impact on the company’s cost & profitability.
Suppliers of auto components are fragmented and are extremely critical for this industry since
most of the component work is outsourced.
Proper supply chain management is a costly yet critical need.
BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS
Bargaining power of buyers for Bajaj Auto is High.
The bargaining power of the buyers is high. There are a variety of products available to
customers to choose from. The customer is treated “as a king”.
The marketers have segmented the market into three categories namely entry level, executive
& premium category. It has been observed that companies which have ignored the customers
have suffered – Bajaj Auto, which once operated without a marketing department, but instead
had a dispatch department. However the rules of the game have changed. The customer
should be the focus of all activities. All activities Production & Marketing should be done
keeping the consumer in mind
Buyers in automobile market have more choice to choose from and the increasing
competition is driving the bargaining power of customers uphill.
With more models to choose from in almost all categories, the market forces have
empowered the buyers to a large extent.
29. 29
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT
Threat of Substitute Product for Bajaj Auto is moderate.
The two-wheeler industry faces direct competition from the automobile sector. With the
increase in disposable income & increase in bank finance people prefer to have cars rather
than two wheelers.
Thus the demand for cars affects the demand for two-wheelers. If the demand for cars fall the
demand for two-wheelers will rise.
Although there is no substitute to this industry, but as the competition increases new variants
may come up from the rival. Also the launch of TATA NANO may act as substitute to this
industry.
