International Societal Environments
• Each country or group of countries in which a company operates presents a unique societal environment with a different set of economic, technological, political-legal, and sociocultural variables for the company to face.

Issues Priority Matrix
Prentice Hall, Inc. © 2008 4-20
Issues Priority Matrix
1. Identify likely trends:• Societal and task environments
• Strategic environmental issues
2. Assess probability of trends occurring• Low to High
3. Ascertain likely impact of trends on the corporation• Low to High
21
Defined:
Key environmental trends that are judged to have both a medium to high probability of occurrence and a medium to high probability of impact on the corporation.
External Strategic Factors
22
IndustryA group of firms producing a similar product or service, such as soft drinks or financial services.
Industry analysis: Analyzing the Task Environment
23
Porter’s approach:Porter’s approach:
Assess the six forces --1. Threat of new entrants
2. Rivalry among existing firms
3. Threat of substitute products
4. Bargaining power of buyers
5. Bargaining power of suppliers
6. Relative power of other stakeholders

Prentice Hall, Inc. © 2008 4-25
Porter’s Approach to Industry Analysis
Threat of New Entrants –Possible barriers to entry
–Economies of scale–Product differentiation–Capital requirements (Boeing and Airbus)
–Switching costs (software programs)
–Access to distribution channels–Cost disadvantages (operating system (MS-DOS)
–Government policy
Prentice Hall, Inc. © 2008 4-26
Porter’s Approach to Industry Analysis
Rivalry Among Existing Firms –Rivalry is related to several factors including:
–Number of competitors–Rate of industry growth–Product or service characteristics–Amount of fixed costs (airlines)–Capacity–Height of exit barriers–Diversity of rivals
27
Substitute Products:Those products that appear to be different but can satisfy the same need as another product. To the extent that switching costs are low, substitutes can have a strong effect on an industry.
Examples– Email & fax– Internet &video stores– Bottled water & cola
Porter’s Approach to Industry Analysis
28
Bargaining Power of Buyers
Buyer is powerful when:• Buyer purchases large proportion of seller’s products• Buyer has the potential to integrate backward• Alternative suppliers are plentiful• Changing suppliers costs very little• Purchased product represents a high percentage of a buyer’s costs• Buyer earns low profits• Purchased product is unimportant to the final quality or price of a
buyer’s products
Porter’s Approach to Industry Analysis
29
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
Supplier is powerful when:• Supplier industry is dominated by a few companies but
sells to many• Its product is unique and/or has high switching costs• Substitutes are not readily available• Suppliers are able to integrate forward and compete
directly with present customers• Purchasing industry buys only a small portion of the
supplier’s goods.

Porter’s Approach to Industry Analysis
Relative Power of Other StakeholdersA six force should be added to Porter’s list• government• local communities• creditors (if not included with suppliers)• trade associations• special-interest groups• unions• complementora company or industry which whose product works well with a firm’s product and without which the product would lose much of its value such as:• Intel and Microsoft• the tire and automobile industries

Industry Evolution
Fragmented Industry –
No firm has large market share and each firm serves only a small piece of the total market in competition with others.
Prentice Hall, Inc. © 2008 4-32
Industry Evolution
Consolidated Industry –
Dominated by a few large firms, each of which struggles to differentiate its products from the competition.
Prentice Hall, Inc. © 2008 4-33
International Risk Assessment
Continuum of International Industries
The factors that tend to determine whether an industry will be multidomestic or primary global are:1.Pressure for coordination within the MNCs operating in that industry2.Pressure for local responsiveness on the part of individual country markets
34
Defined:
A set of business units or firms that pursue similar strategies with similar resources.

Strategic Groups
37
Defined:– Category of firms based on a common strategic
orientation and a combination of structure, culture, and processes consistent with that strategy.
– General types are: 1.Defenders2.Prospectors3.Analyzers4.Reactors
Strategic Types
Prentice Hall, Inc. © 2008 4-38
Strategic Types
1. Defenders• efficiency
2. Prospectors • product innovation and market opportunities
3. Analyzers• Works in at least two different product-market
areas, one stable (efficiency) and one variable (innovation). such as multidivisional firms (e.g. IBM and P&G)
4. Reactors• Lack a consistent strategy-structure-culture
relationship such as major US airlines

Total Weighted Score
Notes: 1. List opportunities and threats (5–10) in column 1. 2. Weight each factor from 1.0 (Most Important) to 0.0 (Not Important) in Column 2 based on that factor’s probable impact on the company’s strategic position. The total weights must sum to 1.00. 3. Rate each factor from 5 (Outstanding) to 1 (Poor) in Column 3 based on the company’s response to that factor. 4. Multiply each factor’s weight times its rating to obtain each factor’s weighted score in Column 4. 5. Use Column 5 (comments) for rationale used for each factor. 6. Add the weighted scores to obtain the total weighted score for the company in Column 4. This tells how well the company is responding to the strategic factors in its external environment.Source: T.
