Hunters
need to be successful at contradictory, and seemingly
impossible, tasks -- meeting customer expectations superbly
while managing constantly shrinking margins. Alertness
to moves made by competitors, and the ability to counter
them, are absolutely crucial.
Hunters
normally need an organizational structure that focuses the
attention of everyone in the company on the market. This
structure must also be able to make internal adaptations
very quickly. In practice, this usually requires a
highly interdependent culture, and the same kind of sharing
of information and effort that is seen in start-up
organizations. There needs to be simultaneous emphasis
on keeping quality up and internal costs down.
Some
hunter organizations are long distance providers, department
stores, cell phone manufacturers and modem manufacturers.
