Activities for Today • Attendance • CEP • Goals for Today • Chapter 3 • Homework • Chapter 3 • Simulation – Trial Round # 2 • Next Wednesday Exam MQM385/Sp08/Class9
Chapter Overview • Industry • Strategic Groups • Porter’s Five Forces Model (Next Class)
Industry: Defined Companies with similar products/services compete for fulfilling customer satisfaction
Strategic Groups: Not All Competitors Are Created Equal Source: Adapted from Dess and Lumpkin, Strategic Management: Creating Competitive Advantages (New York: McGraw-Hill. 2002), p. 63
Five Forces Model Source: Adapted from Michael E. Porter, Competitive Strategy (New York: The Free Press, 1980, pp. 3-33.
Force 1: Potential Competitors • Create high entry barriers • Economies of scale • Experience curve • Capital requirements • Switching costs • Product differentiation and brand loyalty • Access to key supplies/distribution channels • Government regulations
Creating Entry Barriers Barriers to entry increase industry concentration • Raises cost of entry over benefits of entry • Necessary, but not sufficient to avoid price competition • When firms overcome entry barriers they show it can be done, thus inviting others to do so
Measuring Market Concentration with the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) Source: US Bureau of the Census (1997)
Force 2: Rivalry Among Incumbent Firms • Industry structure • Demand conditions • Exit barriers
Force 3: Supplier Power (I) • Number of suppliers • Uniqueness of product/service substitutes • Kind of technology • Switching costs • Ability to integrate backwards
Force 4: Buyer Power (I) • Number of sellers • Amount of product differentiation • Purchase size • Switching costs • Ability to integrate backwards
Neutralizing Buyer Power • Differentiate product • Stimulate demand for complementary products • Discriminate on price among buyers • Narrow offerings to buyers • Find new buyers • Increase switching costs • Price at or below marginal cost
Force 5: Substitute Products/Services • Availability of complementary products • Price of complementary products
Neutralizing Substitute Power • Differentiate your product • Create demand for complementary products • Innovate • Narrow the availability of substitutes • Create switching costs
High profit potential Secure a market position by building high entry barriers Low profit potential Proactively alter industry conditions by securing an advantageous market position Neutralize the threats posed by the five forces Using the Five Forces Model
Five Forces - Strengths • Intuitive model • Takes into account a firm’s environment
Five Forces - Weaknesses • Not relevant in dynamic markets • Does not consider firm’s internal competencies
