The Strategic Failures

  • In the 1990s, HLL grew through acquisitions; but then sales stagnated and now even profit margins are getting squeezed due to competition
  • Regional competitors had advantages that HLL didn’t enjoy—they could reduce their prices and replicate the latter’s strengths in product innovation and distribution
  • Strategies such as focusing on select power brands didn’t yield adequate topline growth despite huge expenses on advertising and promotion
  • So, HLL became reactive rather than proactive; now, it has changed its strategy again by reducing number of divisions and forming a panel to take decisions
