Global shipping crisis deepens as cargo line NYK

takes multi-billion yen hit

The storm in the global shipping market is showing no

signs of abating with a major Japanese cargo line

warning it will take a multi-billion yen hit. Nippon

Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) has warned its half-

year results will take a 195bn yen (£1.5bn) impairment

because of write downs on the value of its ships, and

that it would take a 35bn yen provision for losses on

contracts. NYK is Japan’s largest cargo shipping line by

revenue and said the “prolonged slump in the shipping

market” was to blame for the impairments.

Shipping ministry moves to scrap monopoly policy

for major ports

The shipping ministry is weighing a plan to scrap a

policy that was designed to check the emergence of

private monopoly in terminal operations at state-owned

GST Hurdles

The third meeting of the GST Council ended last week

without making much headway. After the first two

meetings of the Council, things had appeared to be on

track. Even the opening day of the third meeting looked

promising, but differences soon started cropping up and

the Council had to end its meeting abruptly on the

second day, a day earlier than scheduled, without

reaching a decision on the rates structure. This

development is worrisome. The Centre has set an April

1, 2017 target for the launch of a nationwide GST, and

now the target only seems to get tougher. READ MORE

Assocham opposes cess in GST

Industry body Assocham has opposed a proposal within

GST: A contest of competing truths

Formulation of public policy, including tax policy, is

often beset with the dilemma of competing truths. In

most cases, policy cannot be easily formulated by

exercising a choice between the “right” policy and the

“wrong” policy. Instead, it is mostly forged by a contest

between competing policies representing competing

truths, each truth valid in its own sphere but each

pointing to a different path. MORE READ

THE PORTER’S FIVE FORCES TOOL

For the small and big business, managing business effectively is difficult. One of the most essential skills needed

is the ability to assess the competitive environment. The Porter’s five forces tool is a simple but powerful tool for

understanding where power lies in a business situation. This is useful because it helps you understand both the

strength of your current competitive position and the strength of a position you are considering moving into. It is

a simple but excellent for judging exactly where power lies.

There are five important forces that determine competitive power in a business situation:

Supplier Power: One can assess how easy it is for supplies to drive up price of inputs. This is driven by

the number of suppliers of each key input, the uniqueness of their products or service, their strength and

control over you, the cost of switching from one to another and so on. The fewer the suppliers choices you

have and the more you need suppliers’ help, the more powerful your suppliers are.

Buyer Power: One can ask yourself how easy it is for buyers to drive prices down. This is driven by the

number of buyers, the importance each individual buyer to your business, the cost of them of switching from

your products and services to those of someone else and so on. If one has to deal with few powerful buyers

then they are often able to dictate terms. This is the power of customers to drive down the prices.

Competitive Rivalry: This reflects the strength of competition in the industry by the number and

capability of the competitors. If many competitors, have little power to manoeuvre the situation and vice

versa. You will be very powerful if your product or service is unique. If competitors cannot offer what you

provide, you will have immense strength.

Threat of Substitution: The extent to which different products and services can be used in place of your

own. If substitution is easy and substitution is viable, then this weakness your power. This is the degree to

which different products and services can be used instead of your officering.

Threat of New Entry: If one has strong and durable barriers to new entry, then one can preserve a

favourable position and take fair advantage of it else the threat of new entry is how easily new competitors

can enter the market.

A frame work that models on industry / business as being influenced by five forces. One who is seeking to develop

and edge over rival firms can use this model to better understand the industry context in which the firm

operates. It draws upon industrial organisation economies to derive five forces that determine the competitive

intensity and therefore overall industry profitability.

These five forces brought neatly together in a diagram like the below:

The Gandhidham Chamber of Commerce & Industry

E-News Letter Issue No. 8 Date: 07.11.2016

Steps To Follow When Performing Analysis Gather information on each forces

Analyze results and display in a diagram

Formulate strategy based on conclusions

Mark the key factor on the diagram and summarize the size and scale of the force on the diagram. An easy way

of doing this is to use, for example, a single ‘+’ sign for a force moderately in your favour, or ‘-’ for a force

strongly against you. Then look at the situation you find using this analysis and think through how it affects you.

Looking at things in this way helps you think through what could change to increase your power with respect to

each force. If you find yourself in a structurally weak position, thus tool helps you think about what you can do to

move in to a stronger one.

The analysis entails thinking about how each of these forces affects your business. You are expected to indentify

the strength of each of the forces. By doing so, you can swiftly assess the strength of your business position. The

analysis of these forces also increases your chances to earn more profit in the industry. After assessing the forces,

you have to find ways to affect the forces with the aim to move the balance of power more in your favours.

Awareness of the five forces can help a company understand the structure of its industry and stake out a position

that is more profitable and less vulnerable to attack.

To sum up, Porter’s Five Forces Model has some major limitation in today’s environment. It is not able to take

into account new business models and the dynamics of markets. The value of Porters model is more that it

enables businessmen to think about the current situation of their industry in a structured, easy to understand

way as a starting point for further analysis.
