Business Analysis Highly cyclical Growth through acquisition Dow Chemical Acquires Rohm and Haas International exposure Weaker Dollar => High Commodity Prices Commodity prices higher without significantly weak Dollar Exposed to wide array of industries
Business Analysis – 5 Forces Analysis Suppliers - High Oligopolies (Oil companies for Chemical companies & Mining companies for Metals companies) Customers – High/Middle High in some industries (Auto Makers) Middling in some industries (Chemical) Rivalry - High Global competition & cheap imports Mature companies fighting for market share Many mergers & acquisitions during economic booms Threat New Entrants – Low High entry barrier High capital costs High fixed costs Substitutes - Low
