Question

Business Unit 5 DB:
In competitive industries, most of the time, companies must look within and find ways to reduce the cost of bringing a product from the raw material to finished stage to remain competitive in the long run.

The computer microchip industry, in particular, is very competitive. Whenever a new microchip comes into the marketplace, the makers of clone microchips release a clone microchip that is almost as good as the original but priced considerably lower.

Consider the following scenario:

The Smart Chips Company specializes in developing first-of-its-kind microchips; yet, its market share has been hurt by clone microchips. Use the library, course materials, and other credible sources to research the concept of Michael Porter’s Value Chain Management.

Write 4–6 paragraphs to respond to the following:

* How you would put this concept to work, specifically at the Smart Chips Company, to help it remain competitive in the long run?
* What other management concept(s) covered in this course would be helpful to Smart Chips? How would you incorporate them into the Smart Chip’s culture?

Be sure to cite your sources using the correct standard of APA.

Suggestions for Responding to Peer's Posts

* Compare and contrast your peer’s response to your own. What similarities or differences exist?
* Which aspect of Porter's Value Chain Management concept do you believe would be most influential to a company’s success?
