Our series - Counter Attack - How to defend against Alien Invaders laid out 4 defensive strategies:
• Leveraging Regulatory Barriers to slow an out of market entry
• Accelerating introduction of products from R&D - Protecting the market by selling the future today
• Geography - Locate plants where there is greatest cost and strategic advantage
• Workforce - Use new workforce (outsource, new labor pool, new tech plant) to blunt potential alien advantage.
These strategies come at a cost. Quick action to reduce and remodel incumbent market player costs come at the expense of future profits. Painful as they are, these actions can increase the chance of survival. Taking these actions may lower the potential profit of the Alien Invader.
If you’re interested in leading an Alien Invasion or if you’d like to protect against one, schedule some time with a senior analyst.
