INITIAL POST – Using any company, describe one idea to generate substantial top line revenue growth. As you describe and assess this potential move, refer specifically to Figure 4.1 (p. 77) in Chapter 4 of Sherman and to the other readings from this week to support your response.Do you predict your idea will generate short-term growth, long-term sustainable growth, or both?How can you keep your competitors from easily copying your strategy?What costs, systems, or capabilities are necessary for this growth to occur?PART A – PLEASE RESPOND TO CLASSMATE DISCUSSION WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT
& A DETAILED WHY: Fulton Bank is a medium-sized regional bank that
carves out a niche with a focus on in-person banking. There are two ways to
approach revenue growth, organic growth and mergers & acquisitions. I think a good strategy to grow revenue for my company would be
the M&A route, with a focus on buying up small and medium-sized banks within
the current footprint or slightly outside. We can increase our customer count
through targeted acquisition and find a similar bank that will be a good fit
for customer and company culture.
· Do you predict your idea will
generate short-term growth, long-term sustainable growth, or both?
I think this strategy will generate both
short-term and long-term growth. There will be a big influx of picking up the
new customers in the short term and proving that the new bank can be a good bank
for the customer for the long term.
· How can you keep your
competitors from easily copying your strategy?
I do not think there is an easy way to stop
competitors from copying the strategy. I know that in the banking and
healthcare spaces, there has been a ton of M&A activity. I think the bank
can run multiple different growth strategies at the same time, but M&A is
definitely a good one to try.
· What costs, systems, or
capabilities are necessary for this growth to occur?
Capital for purchasing other companies. The
ability to look through their financials to see if the deal would make sense. There should probably be a good system for a successful merging,
including making sure the two companies are a good cultural fit. Since Fulton
is a community-oriented bank, it would be better for them to buy up similarly
styled banks where they can give the personal touch to customers, as opposed to
a large company such as Wells Fargo coming in and buying up the community bank.PART B – PLEASE RESPOND TO CLASSMATE DISCUSSION WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT & A DETAILED WHY: Do you predict your idea will generate short-term growth, long-term sustainable growth, or both? After having time to finally analyze and decompress the posting from last week, I think that I have a greater understanding of the posting for this week. I chose Intel as the corporation that I wish to focus on and their line of microprocessors, however I wish to take it a step further. I would like to specifically like to focus on the microprocessors that are specifically made for online gaming. As a mom of four sons, I am well versed with video gaming, especially those online such as Roblox (which recently went public). I would partner with an online game such as Roblox and offer their consumers specific microprocessors that would enhance their online gaming experience, For example, bonus RoBucks, extra avatars, weapons, etcHow can you keep your competitors from easily copying your strategy? Unfortunately, this strategy can be duplicated, however if I have exclusively partnered with Roblox, to receive the bonus, you would only be able to receive them through Intel microprocessors only. Die hard gamers would be life long consumers. What costs, systems, or capabilities are necessary for growth to occur? Continued advancement in coding, gaming technology, computer technology as well as microprocessors would be necessary in order to keep up with competition and the ever evolving world of technology.
