Transcript of 5 forces Michael Porters #BBTwisnu
Brief summary • The model originated from Michael E. Porter's 1980 book "CompeEEve Strategy: Techniques for
Analyzing Industries and CompeEtors." Since then, it has become a frequently used tool for analyzing a company's industry structure and its corporate strategy.
• In his book, Porter idenEfied five compeEEve forces that shape every single industry and market. These forces help us to analyze everything from the intensity of compeEEon to the profitability and aOracEveness of an industry. Figure 1 shows the relaEonship between the different compeEEve forces.
1. The threat of new entrants • The easier it is for new companies to enter the industry,
the more cuOhroat compeEEon there will be. Factors that can limit the threat of new entrants are known as barriers to entry. Some examples include:
• ExisEng loyalty to major brands • IncenEves for using a parEcular buyer (such as frequent
shopper programs) • High fixed costs • Scarcity of resources • High costs of switching companies • Government restricEons or legislaEon
2. Power of suppliers • This is how much pressure suppliers can place on a
business. If one supplier has a large enough impact to affect a company's margins and volumes, then it holds substanEal power. Here are a few reasons that suppliers might have power:
• There are very few suppliers of a parEcular product • There are no subsEtutes • Switching to another (compeEEve) product is very costly • The product is extremely important to buyers -‐ can\'t do
without it • The supplying industry has a higher profitability than the
buying industry
3. Power of buyers • This is how much pressure customers can place on a
business. If one customer has a large enough impact to affect a company's margins and volumes, then the customer hold substanEal power. Here are a few reasons that customers might have power:
• Small number of buyers • Purchases large volumes • Switching to another (compeEEve) product is simple • The product is not extremely important to buyers; they can
do without the product for a period of Eme • Customers are price sensiEve
4. Availability of suppliers (subsEtutes)
• What is the likelihood that someone will switch to a compeEEve product or service? If the cost of switching is low, then this poses a serious threat. Here are a few factors that can affect the threat of subsEtutes:
• The main issue is the similarity of subsEtutes. For example, if the price of coffee rises substanEally, a coffee drinker may switch over to a beverage like tea.
• If subsEtutes are similar, it can be viewed in the same light as a new entrant.
5. CompeEEve rivalry • This describes the intensity of compeEEon between
exisEng firms in an industry. Highly compeEEve industries generally earn low returns because the cost of compeEEon is high. A highly compeEEve market might result from:
• Many players of about the same size; there is no dominant firm
• LiOle differenEaEon between compeEtors products and services
• A mature industry with very liOle growth; companies can only grow by stealing customers away from compeEtors
Example of the 5 forces in industry Threat of New Entrants/PotenEal CompeEtors: Medium Pressure Entry barriers are relaEvely low for the beverage industry: there is no consumer switching cost and zero capital requirement. There is an increasing amount of new brands appearing in the market with similar prices than Coke products. Coca-‐Cola is seen not only as a beverage but also as a brand. It has held a very significant market share for a long Eme and loyal customers are not very likely to try a new brand. Threat of SubsEtute Products: Medium to High pressure There are many kinds of energy drink s/soda/juice products in the market. Coca-‐cola doesn’t really have an enErely unique flavor. In a blind taste test, people can’t tell the difference between Coca-‐Cola and Pepsi. The Bargaining Power of Buyers: Low pressure The individual buyer no pressure on Coca-‐Cola. Large retailers, like Wal-‐Mart, have bargaining power because of the large order quanEty, but the bargaining power is lessened because of the end consumer brand loyalty. The Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Low pressure The main ingredients for soe drink include carbonated water, phosphoric acid, sweetener, and caffeine. The suppliers are not concentrated or differenEated. Coca-‐Cola is likely a large, or the largest customer of any of these suppliers. Rivalry Among ExisEng Firms: High Pressure Currently, the main compeEtor is Pepsi which also has a wide range of beverage products under its brand. Both Coca-‐Cola and Pepsi are the predominant carbonated beverages and commiOed heavily to sponsoring outdoor events and acEviEes. There are other soda brands in the market that become popular, like Dr. Pepper, because of their unique flavors. These other brands have failed to reach the success that Pepsi or Coke have enjoyed.
