In order to elucidate upon the strategy for the product mix(
current/future ) of Huawei Company we need to consider the
following strategies :
Product Strategy: Following are the products offered by Huawei
:

solutions and also offers infrastructure solutions in network
switches products.
- Huawei also offers other telecom based products like integrated
network solutions and network security solutions like internet
modems, wifi routers, wireless gateway solutions.

Huawei should primarily focus its strategy on :
- Building a global leadership position for Huawei as it will
lead to an increase in market share and revenue.
- Focusing on increasing its innovation in terms of technological
innovation and establishing effective marketing campaigns to drive
market sales for the same.
- Utilizing the resources to concentrate on developing and
innovating Huawei's core business as well as the strategic
opportunities in order to further establish its core
strengths.
- Making use of the major trends that exist at the global level
and to narrow down the strategy in order to acquire the market
leadership position.
- Huawei should liquidate its potion in the areas of business
that are not in its core business and in order to create a clear
product strategy.
What are the dimensions upon which a company manages its product
portfolio?
The dimensions that Huawei should focus on are :
- Organizational Dimensions: In order to improve the strategic
alignments in the organization by effective resource utilization
and using a single product portfolio strategy rather than
divestment of its core competencies and resources. For ex : Since
the core competency of Huawei lies in the telecommunications
portfolio, it should focus its strategy on making use of the
resources to improve upon its core competency i.e
Telecommunications. Since Mobile Handsets are not a core competency
of the company it should not focus its resources and all of its
core competencies in creating and marketing Mobile Handset
devices.
- The focus should also lie upon the factors to create and drive
multi-level product solutions.Multi-lvel product solutions are the
driving engines of any company including Huawei.
- Improvements and technological innovations to modify the
existing products to suit the current market trends and drive
constant revenue streams for the company.
