For, market penetration there were several strategies developed to facilitate it, focusing on increasing the Johnson and Johnson’s sales of existing products to a market that was already in existence. Some of the appropriate ways that the market penetration strategy can be achieved include reducing the prices of products in order to attract the new or existing customers and acquiring a competitor within the marketplace (Grünig & Kühn, 2018). Another strategy that can be implemented is increasing the efforts put in distribution and promotion processes for instance by investing more on product advertising. J & J’s market penetration can also be achieved through the restructuring of a mature market by eliminating competitors. This can be done by doing promotional campaigns that are more aggressive in conjunction with a pricing strategy which will be structured to make the market unattractive for the competitors. Increasing the usage of products by existing customers is also an effective strategy, and this can be done for example, by introducing customer loyalty schemes. LEARNING PLAN 5 Market Development Again, strategies that could facilitate the achievement of market development were also identified. Here the focus will be on new markets or areas in the existing market and selling larger amounts of the existing product to different people (Gurcaylilar-Yenidogan, & Aksoy, 2018). Some of the strategies that might be useful in doing this include targeting different geographical markets either locally or abroad. For example, the product can be exported to a new country. This can involve conducting a PESTEL Analysis, using the CAGE distance framework, or identifying threats and opportunities in different markets. Again, market development can be done through the use of various sales channels like direct or online sales if the selling process is conducted through intermediaries or agents. Another way of doing this is through market segmentation whereby different groups of people will be targeted based on their gender, demographic profiles, or age. The use of a marketing mix is also an effective way of achieving market development as it assists the organization to understand how it can best reposition its product. Product Development In product development, Johnson and Johnson will be selling different products to the same customer or market it is currently serving. The ways of achieving product development include extending the product for instance through the production of different variants of it or repackaging the products that exist. Also, related products or services can be developed. In the service industry, product development can also be attained by shortening the time to market or LEARNING PLAN 6 improving customer service or quality o services delivered (Grünig & Morschett, 2017). Other ways of successful product development are research, development, and innovation, and obtain detailed insights into the needs and expectations of customers as well as how they keep changing. Diversification Lastly, diversification is an important strategy which is highly risky. Here there is the least scope for the use of existing expertise or for attaining economies of scale since J &J is simply trying to sell products that are entirely different to new customers (Grünig & Kühn, 2018). Successful diversification will require the company to understand clearly and have an idea about the expected gain from the strategy. An honest and critical assessment of the risks involved is also essential. Balancing risks and rewards in the right manner also leads to successful diversification. In diversification, the following might be helpful: related diversification, unrelated diversification, upstream integration of the firm’s suppliers, and downstream integration of agents or intermediaries.

Running Head: FIVE FORCES AFFECTING HEALTHCARE SECTOR Five Forces Affecting Healthcare Sector Broad Analogy 1 FIVE FORCES AFFECTING STRATEGY FORMULATION 2 Introduction The five forces analysis is an approach used to analyze the various factors that could affect the strategies formulated by a given firm and result in performances not expected by the firm. These five forces determine the competitive advantage any given firm could have if properly analyzed and reacted upon. These forces include the following; The intensity of the rivalry This force examines the degree and intensity of competition from other related firms that are currently prevailing in the market. It is generally determined by the total number of competitors in that market. The higher the number of competitors the lower the competitive rivalry. With a high rivalry in competition, there comes increased advertising and more price wars leading to adverse effects on that given business (Kunc, M. 2018). When there are two clinics or hospitals in a given region, the will be two competing firms both seeking a market in the region. This will, therefore, call for more advertising and other cost-increasing activities aimed at attracting more customers to the individual firm that carries out these activities. The implication of this will be decreased profits for the firms. This, therefore, calls for a plan to curb this force. The threat of new entrants This force examines the ease or difficulty that potential investors in the industry have in entering the market and operating as competitors of the already existing firms. The ease or difficulty in an entry is determined by factors such as the intensity of initial capital required, economies of scale, well-recognized brands, and control of various inputs required for the production process. It can be considered in two ways, either as barriers to entry or response by FIVE FORCES AFFECTING STRATEGY FORMULATION 3 the existing firms. Most hospitals in many regions have control of their inputs which are also produced in limited amounts to avoid misuse and abuse by various consumers (Walker, 2015). Hospitals also largely operate in large scale that enables them to admit services at reduced prices and this may be unfavorable for small potential investors who can’t keep up with the prevailing market prices for the services. The threat of substitute products The existence and the prices of other substitute goods also affect the strategy that an organization chooses to settle on. The existence of substitute goods in the market limit the ability of a firm to charge high prices on its goods and reduction of the prices of these substitute goods will also call for the reduction of prices of a firm’s products (Stiglitz, 2015). In the healthcare industry for instance. When the prices of substitute products of health reduce, the prices charged for the meds reduce consequently thus the hospitals need to develop an effective strategy to curb the effects by substitute goods. Bargaining power of suppliers This is the power held by the suppliers of raw materials of production, assembling of the inputs and their disposal which then affect the prices of the goods. When there is a very small base of suppliers of the various input for production, their bargaining power is high and this results to increase in the costs of the inputs. The number of physicians and surgeons who offer healthcare services affects the cost of production. If the number is small, there will be more wages paid to them due to higher bargaining power thus calling for a strategy to curb their bargaining power. FIVE FORCES AFFECTING STRATEGY FORMULATION 4 Bargaining power of the consumers There is more consumer bargaining power in situations where there are a large number of consumers with a limited number of sellers if consumer purchases large amounts of seller’s products and ease in the ability to switch seller. If there are many buyers of healthcare in a region with little healthcare facilities, consumers have more bargaining power that enables them to have more price cuts that thus reduces the hospital's profits calling for the need for a strategy to curb this force. These forces can be curbed by strategies such as diversification of products, cost leadership, differentiation, focus among many other economic ways of cutting costs and increasing returns.

Positive trend Comparator Health Administration Press Financial Ratio Analysis • The internal financial ratio analysis is concerned with both the current state of the organization and the trend. • Knowing that the organization is at “point X” is important to the strategist; even more important, however, is observing a trend and predicting where that trend will lead without intervention. • To carry out this kind of observation, the analyst needs to assemble three to five consecutive years of data. • The relevant ratios can be selected from the list in the previous slides or from Exhibit 11.1 in your book. • Once the data has been recorded and reviewed, the analyst should create a list of implications for strategy. Copyright © 2016 Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Not for sale. Health Administration Press Financial Ratio Analysis • Simply looking at the organization’s financial ratios, however, does not tell an analyst all there is to know. • The data needs to be compared to some reference point. • Though standards exist for every financial ratio, in competitive analysis and strategy development, the relevant comparison is to the firm’s competitors, then to the industry within which the firm competes. • This is because each industry has its own norms. • As an example, it may be self-evident to an analyst that a firm has an extremely high debt-to-equity ratio simply by looking at the numbers. • On the other hand, in addition to knowing that, the strategist would also like to know how highly leveraged the firm’s competitors are and what the norm is for the particular industry. Copyright © 2016 Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Not for sale. Health Administration Press Financial Ratio Analysis • An even more powerful tool is looking at competitors using five years of financial data. • This allows the analyst to identify trends for the competitors. • The strategist would like to identify deteriorating or improving competitor conditions. • Emerging competitor weaknesses can be exploited, and emerging competitor strengths need to be defended against. • Improving or degrading competitor trends can also be a warning sign for a firm’s own vulnerability. Copyright © 2016 Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Not for sale. Health Administration Press Exercise • Divide into groups. • Select which ratios are most relevant for the organization you are studying and explain why. • If time permits, research the numbers for your firm and its competitors. • Use the space provided on page 79 of your book. • What implications for strategy emerge?

It provides a wide variety of products and services, which include; oral healthcare (through the production of toothpaste), treatment of diseases (through the manufacture of medicines), nutritional care (through the manufacture of food supplements and vitamins) (Uribe, García-Galbis, & Espinosa, 2017). The company has a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. As of August 2016, it had a market capitalization of £81 billion (around $107 billion), the fourth largest on the London Stock Exchange. It has a secondary listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("effect of market volatility and firm size towards the difference of market reaction around stock-split announcement in Indonesia stock exchange," 2016). Corporate Mission Christina care Health care system is a non- profit health care organization committed to healthcare service delivery to communities through; Leadership and excellence in the delivery of quality healthcare services at affordable rates, Expanding the heights of biomedical knowledge through research, Improving healthcare status in the community through awareness of diseases and ways of disease prevention and Enhancing access to medical care through the expansion of medical access to underserved citizens (Nair & Chen, 2018). Quality patient care is the company focus. Providing excellent and quality medical service, support information in the health sector through research and proper medical education are an essential aspect of our mission. The mission was founded on ethical and cultural perspectives of the Declaration of the independence which inspires happiness to all American citizens. Research and competitive analysis The five forces analysis is an approach used to analyze the various factors that could affect the strategies formulated by a given firm and result in performances not expected by the firm. These five forces determine the competitive advantage any given firm could have if properly analyzed and reacted upon (Omsa, Abdullah, & Jamali, 2017). These actors are the intensity of the rivalry, the threat of new entrants, the risk of substitute products, bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of the consumers. These factors affect the revenue collected amount by the respective company. Broad analysis 5-forces The five forces analysis is an approach used to analyze the various factors that could affect the strategies formulated by a given firm and result in performances not expected by the firm. These five forces determine the competitive advantage any given firm could have if properly 3 STRATEGIC FIT OUTLINE analyzed and reacted upon. These forces include the following; the intensity of the rivalry, the threat of new entrants, the risk of substitute products, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of the consumers (Dulčić, Gnjidić, & Alfirević, 2016). These forces can be curbed by strategies such as diversification of products, cost leadership, differentiation, focus among many other economic ways of cutting costs and increasing returns. PEST PEST is the abbreviation of the factors that affect the company which is: political factors, economic factors, social and technological factors. These are the factors that affect the company both internally and externally enabling it to accomplish its goals or diminish the strategies. These factors are vital and are profoundly addressed by the firm (Herlambang, Sugiharto, & Rohmana, 2017). The company has to focus on the latest delivery techniques and other technical advances in their field. A sophisticated professional system would mean better production and distribution of the products, and thus a broader population can benefit from the products. Benchmark Benchmark analysis encompasses the PEST analysis factors: political factors, economic factors, social and technological factors. These are the factors that affect the company both internally and externally enabling it to accomplish its goals or diminish the strategies. These factors are vital and are profoundly addressed by the firm (Akbar, 2018). These factors are explained with the division of their control strategy. When these factors are considered seriously the company succeeds, the act like production functions that affect the output of the company. SWOT-Generic & EFE In SWOT and EFE analysis we examine the Johnson and Johnson Company. Johnson and Johnson is a profit organization that specializes in the production of medical equipment, consumer and pharmaceutical products. The company has been in operation for 132 years. It operates in sixty countries although its products get sold in 170 countries in total. The company’s products cater to the needs of both men and women and babies too. For example, the company produces a baby powder that is mostly used by babies; even newborn babies (Stawski, 2013). The company’s main aim is to make it easy for individuals to access healthcare products by making them affordable and reachable. It also focuses on creating healthy communities by providing products that help individuals to stay healthy. This part focuses on analyzing the external factors that have an impact on the company. External factors include the opportunities that the company can exploit, and the threats include the entities that threaten the well-being of the company. Financial statement McKinsey 7 or BCG 4 STRATEGIC FIT OUTLINE A BCG matrix is a technique which is built on the idea that products can be categorized based on their share and performance in the market. In order to understand the concept of BCG, it is essential to understand the various key factors and principles that it is built on and these are market share and the market growth rate ("BCG Growth-Share Matrix," 2017). This paper will aim to develop a focused analysis that determines the BCG Matrix within the healthcare industry. In the BCG matrix, the healthcare sector's growth rate is monitored, depending on how it is laid out, an organization's role and engagement will be recognized by its scope. Through this, it, therefore, becomes possible to know and measure the market share the same organization enjoys as it will be a correspondence of the growth rate of the same. Generic Strategies Ansoff and TOWs In a strategy consolidation from the Ansoff and TOWS matrices, “Expand into adjacent counties,” “Expand into urgent care,” “Place satellite locations,” “Open cancer center,” and “Buy out private practices” could all be grouped together. A title of “Facility Expansion” could be placed above these strategies, and that could become an overarching strategy (Hogue, 2015). Likewise, many Ansoff and TOWS example strategies could be consolidated under other overarching strategies, such as “Service Expansion,” for instance. First, the overarching strategies can be compared against one another. For example, the facility expansion strategy would be compared with service expansion. At the second level, the sub-strategies under an overarching strategy can be evaluated and then either retained or discarded. In the facility expansion example, the analyst would decide whether to maintain or reject “Expand into adjacent counties,” “Expand into urgent care,” “Place satellite locations,” “Open cancer center,” and “Buy out private practices.” Strategic Fit Results In strategy selection, the financial investment required to support implementation is a significant criterion, as is the amount of time needed to recoup the investment and profit potential. The QSPM model might show one proposal to be superior to the others in a strategic sense; however, the organization might not have the financial resources to successfully implement and maintain that strategy ("Monetary Policy," 2017). In a survey of 1,139 executives by McKinsey & Company, 75 percent said companies that get the best results use a balanced mix of financial and strategic targets; only 11 percent disagreed. The point behind these findings is that a strategic fit is not enough. One needs both a strategic fit and a financial fit. A complete economic analysis, using factors such as depreciation, tax effect, and so on, is beyond the scope of this book ("Dynamic Strategic Fit in Organization Design in Shariah Banks in Indonesian," 2017). However, this chapter introduces several important financial analysis measures, including net present value, internal rate of return, profitability index, payback period, and the probability of success. 5 STRATEGIC FIT OUTLINE References BCG Growth-Share Matrix.

Abstract

Johnson and Johnson is a multinational holding company that deals with medical devices,
pharmaceutical, and consumer packaged goods. To begin with, this paper is going to discuss the
corporate mission of the company and how the company aligns with it. The paper will also
discuss the culture of the company and how it integrates with the community. The paper will
then review the results from the competitive analysis of the company shallowly. After that, the
paper will then analyze the competitiveness broadly. This will include the potter’s five model
analysis, the PEST analysis, the benchmark and lastly the SWOT-Generic & EFE analysis. The
paper will also discuss financial statements of the Johnson and Johnson Company from the past
