Products reach a decline point for various reasons but one example would be the typewriter. When first introduced, it represented a huge step forward in terms of producing written documents for the mass market and became very popular around the world. With the arrival of desk top computers and home printers at affordable prices, these began to become mass market products which could offer many advantages over typewriters such as document management, spell-checking and variable print outputs leading to a decline in the popularity of typewriters. Whilst there remain those who still prefer their trusty typewriter, they are a small and dying market and the premium price now required in such a small market, the end is clearly in sight. The same principle applies to most products. If a competitor introduces a faster, cheaper, more fashionable design, sales can decline rapidly and may never recover without innovative counter measures such as product redesign and relaunch.

What is the most appropriate organizational architecture for a firm that is competing in an industry where global strategy is appropriate?

The strategic goal is to pursue a low-cost strategy on a global scale. The global standardization strategy makes sense when: There are strong pressures for cost reductions Demands for local responsiveness are minimal The global matrix structure is an attempt to minimize the limitations of the worldwide area structure and the worldwide product divisional structure. The global matrix structure: Allows for differentiation along two dimensions - product division and geographic area Has dual decision--making - product division and geographic area have equal responsibility for operating decisions Can be bureaucratic and slow Can result in conflict between areas and product divisions Can result in finger-pointing between divisions when something goes wrong Firms pursuing a global standardization strategy focus on the realization of location and experience curve economies. Headquarters maintains control over most decisions The need for integrating mechanisms is high Strong organizational cultures are encouraged The worldwide product division is common
