Analyzing Porter's Five Forces: Understanding Industry Competition, Study notes of Strategic Management

An overview of michael e. Porter's five forces model, a primary technique used to analyze competition in an industry environment. The model examines the risk of entry by potential competitors, economies of scale, the competitive structure of the industry, the threat of substitute products or services, and the bargaining power of buyers and suppliers. Additionally, the document discusses strategic groups within industries and their implications for industry analysis.

 Michael E. Porter’s “The Five Forces Model”

assumes that as the forces grow stronger, they limit the ability of companies to raise

prices.

 A weak competitive force allows a company

to earn greater profits.

2- 4

1) The first of Porter’s Five Forces is the entry by potential competitors (companies risk of

that are not currently competing in the industry).

a) The risk of entry by potential competitors is a function of the height of barriers to entry, that is, factors that make it costly for companies to enter an industry.

b) Economies of scale a firm expands its output. occur when unit costs fall as

c) Brand loyalty preference for the product of an established exists when consumers have a company.

c) An entrants cannot expect to match absolute cost advantage means that

established companies lower cost.

d) Customer switching costs customer invests time, energy, and money occur when a

switching from the products offered by one established company to the products

of a new entrant.

2) The second of Porter’s Five Forces is the intense rivalry among established

companies.

a) The to the number and size distribution of industry competitive structure refers

companies in it.

i) A fragmented industry consists of a large number of companies that cannot determine
industry price.
ii) A consolidated industry is dominated by a small number of large companies.

b) The level of second determinant of the intensity of industry demand is the

rivalry.

i) Growing demand tends to reduce rivalry because all companies can sell more

without taking market share away from other companies.
ii) When demand declines, a company can only grow by taking market share away from
other companies.

d) Exit barriers emotional factors that prevent companies are economic, strategic, and

from leaving an industry. Common exit barriers include the following:

i) Investment in fixed assets that are of little or no value in alternate uses, or cannot later be sold. ii) Severance pay, health benefits, or pensions that must be paid to workers when a company ceases to operate. iii) Emotional attachment to an industry. iv) Bankruptcy regulations.

3) The Porter’s Five Forces. It is the ability of buyers to bargaining power of buyers is the third of

bargain down prices or demand better service. Some examples of when buyers are most

powerful are:

a) When there are many small sellers of the particular product and the buyers are large and few in number. b) When the buyer purchases in large quantities and uses its power to bargain for price reductions.

c) When the supplier industry depends on the buyers for a large percentage of total orders.

5) The final force in Porter’s model is the threat of substitute products : products of different

businesses that can satisfy similar customer needs.

a) Tea versus coffee versus soft drink

b) Margarine versus butter

6) Andrew Grove argued that power, vigor, and competence of complementors comprised a

sixth force.

 Within most industries, it is possible to

observe groups of companies that follow a business model similar to companies in other

groups.

 These different groups of companies are

known as strategic groups.

 Mobility barriers inhibit the movement of companies between are within-industry factors that

strategic groups.

 These barriers could bar entry into a group or bar exit from the company’s existing group.

 Managers must determine if it is cost-effective to overcome mobility barriers before deciding

whether the move is worthwhile.
