scope

Examples of scope in the following topics:

• Scoping Your Speech

  • Make sure that only the most relevant information is including in the speech, so the scope of your speech does not become too wide.
  • A speech with a scope that is too broad complicates the audience's ability to retain information.
  • Scope refers to the extent of the area or subject matter that something deals with or to which it is relevant.
  • Anything superfluous or extraneous is only going to broaden the scope and take the speech away from that ultimate goal.
  • Scoping a speech is not only helpful for the audience, but is also to the benefit of the speaker.

• Scoping Your Topic

  • Scoping your topic is the process of identifying the important subtopics that form the parameters of your speech.
  • If you have a shorter amount of time, you will need to narrow the scope of your speech.
  • Use time constraints to your benefit, let them guide you to narrow the scope of your speech.
  • Scoping your topic will not only make the writing of the speech easier, but by narrowing the scope of your speech, you also increase the likelihood that your speech will effectively communicate with the audience.

• Porter's Competitive Strategies

  • These three strategies are defined along two dimensions: strategic scope and strategic strength.
  • Strategic scope is a demand-side dimension and considers the size and composition of the market the business intends to target.
  • He originally ranked each of the three dimensions (level of differentiation, relative product cost, and scope of target market) as either low, medium, or high and juxtaposed them in a three-dimensional matrix.
  • Market segmentation is narrow in scope (both cost leadership and differentiation are relatively broad in scope) and is a cross between the two strategies.
  • Porter's three strategies can be defined along two dimensions: strategic scope and strategic strength.

• Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As)

  • Factors that matter include lower costs–shared activities, shared resources, economies of scale or scope-, and increased willingness to pay.
  • The Better Off Test in the context of horizontal scope: Can a firm achieve lower average costs or higher average prices by including multiple business units in same firm?
  • Economies of scope (aka, synergies) make product diversification efficient if they are based on a similar common use.

• Making Risk Adjustments

  • New projects sometimes require taking on risks outside of a company's current scope, resulting in the need to adjust risk in the WACC.

  • The publication in this country of a grammar of similar plan and scope seems fully justified at the present time, as all recent editions of classic texts summarize in introductions the special idioms of grammar and style peculiar to individual authors.

• The Scope of the Normal Approximation

  • The scope of the normal approximation is dependent upon our sample size, becoming more accurate as the sample size grows.
  • In other words, the scope of the normal approximation is dependent upon our sample size, becoming more accurate as the sample size grows.

• Considering Company Size

  • This definition underscores why it is important for companies to identify the factors of the organization that determine its ideal structure—most specifically the size, scope, and operational initiatives of the company.
  • Companies may adopt one of six organizational structures based upon company size and diversity of scope of operations.
  • A divisional structure is also a framework best leveraged by larger companies; instead of economies of scale, however, they are in pursuit of economies of scope.
  • Economies of scope simply means a high variance in product or service.
  • Larger companies, on the other hand, achieve higher efficiency through functional, bureaucratic, divisional, and matrix structures (depending on the scale, scope, and complexity of operations).

• Differences Between Strategic Planning at Small Versus Large Firms

  • ., an SME (small and medium enterprise) refers to an organization with 500 employees or less, while an MNE (multinational enterprise) refers to a global organization with a much larger operational scope.
  • MNEs (multinational enterprises) may employ a more structured strategic management model due to its size, scope of operations, and need to encompass stakeholder views and requirements.
  • SMEs (small and medium enterprises) may employ an entrepreneurial approach due to its comparatively smaller size and scope of operations and limited access to resources.
