PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL The Five Forces Model helps business

people understand the relative attractiveness of an industry and the industry’s competitive pressures in terms of

1. Buyer power

2. Supplier power

3. Threat of substitute products or services

4. Threat of new entrants

5. Rivalry among existing competitors

Page 7: INTRODUCTION

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL

Page 8: INTRODUCTION

Buyer Power

Buyer power – high when buyers have many choices and low when their choices are few

Competitive advantages are created to get buyers to stay with a given company

NetFlix – set up and maintain your movie list United Airlines – frequent flyer program Apple iTunes – buy/manage your music Dell – customize a computer purchase

Page 9: INTRODUCTION

Buyer Power

Competitive advantage – providing a product or service in a way that customers value more than what the competition is able to do

First-mover advantage – significant impact on gaining market share by being the first to market with a competitive advantage

All competitive advantages are fleeting E.G., all airlines now have frequent flyer

programs

Page 10: INTRODUCTION

Supplier Power

Supplier power – high when buyers have few choices and low when choices are many

The opposite of buyer power

Page 11: INTRODUCTION

Threat of Substitute Products and Services Threat of substitute products and services –

high when there are many alternatives for buyers and low when there are few alternatives

Switching costs can reduce this threat Switching cost – a cost that makes buyers

reluctant to switch to another product/service Long-term contract with financial penalty Great service Personalized products based on purchase history

Page 12: INTRODUCTION

Threat of New Entrants

Threat of new entrants – high when it is easy for competitors to enter the market and low when entry barriers are significant

Entry barrier – product or service feature that customers have come to expect and that must be offered by an entering organization

Banking – ATMs, online bill pay, etc

Page 13: INTRODUCTION

Rivalry Among Existing Competitors Rivalry among existing competitors – high

when competition is fierce and low when competition is more complacent

General trend is toward more competition in almost all industries

IT has certainly intensified competition in all sectors of business

Page 14: INTRODUCTION

PORTER’S THREE GENERIC STRATEGIES Porter identified 3

generic business strategies for beating the competition

1. Overall cost leadership

2. Differentiation

3. Focus

Page 15: INTRODUCTION

Overall Cost Leadership

Overall cost leadership – offering the same or better quality product or service at a price that is less than what any of the competition is able to do

Wal-Mart (Always Low Prices, Every Day Low Prices)

Dell – a computer the way you want it at an affordable price

Hyundai and Kia – reliable low-cost cars Grocery stores – high-volume, low-margin

Page 16: INTRODUCTION

Differentiation

Differentiation – offering a product or service that is perceived as being “unique” in the marketplace

Hummer – Like Nothing Else Audi and Michelin – safety Whole Foods – high-end grocery store

Page 17: INTRODUCTION

Focus

Focus – focusing on offering products or services

To a particular segment or buyer group Within a segment of a product line To a specific geographic market

Examples Restaurants Physician offices Legal offices

inventory and information among business processes and across companies

Supply chain management (SCM) system – IT system that supports supply chain management

Key feature of effective SCM Dell uses JIT to deliver custom computers

Page 23: INTRODUCTION

Page 24: INTRODUCTION

Supply Chain Management

Most supply chains use inter-modal transportation, multiple transportation channels (railway, truck, etc) to move products from origin destination

This creates supply chain complexities

Page 25: INTRODUCTION

Opportunities of SCM

Business strategy Overall cost leadership Bottom-line initiative Running the organization (RGT) framework

Goal is to squeeze out every penny of cost possible in the supply chain

This will optimize fulfillment, logistics, production, revenue and profit, and cost and price
