Porter’s 5 Forces Analysis

Porter five forces analysis is a framework to analyze level of competition within an industry and business strategy development. It draws upon industrial organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that determine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market Attractiveness in this context refers to the overall industry profitability. An "unattractive" industry is one in which the combination of these five forces acts to drive down overall profitability. A very unattractive industry would be one approaching "pure competition", in which available profits for all firms are driven to normal profit. This analysis is associated with its principal innovator Michael E.

Executive summary This article focuses on the main aspects of Porter's generic strategies as presented by various scholars and as they can be applied in various companies. The main three generic strategies of cost leadership, differentiation, and focus are discussed along with the advantages and risks inherent with each strategic option. The article includes tips for students and analysts on how to write good generic strategies analysis for a firm or any organisation. Moreover, sources of findings information for generic strategies analysis have been discussed. The limitations of Porter's generic strategies analysis have been discussed, and the relationship between these strategies and industry forces is also discussed.

Actors in competitive environments are bound to decide and act under conditions of uncertainty because they rarely have accurate foreknowledge of how their opponents will respond and when they will respond. Just as a competitor makes a move to improve their standing on a given variable relative to a target competitor, she should expect the latter to counteract with an iterative lagged asymmetric response, that is, with a sequence of countermoves (iteration) that is very different in kind from its trigger (asymmetry) and that will be launched at some unknown point in the future (time lag). The paper explicates the broad relevance of the newly proposed concept of " iterative lagged asymmetric responses " to the social study of temporality and to fields as diverse as intelligence and counterintelligence studies, strategic management, futures studies, military theory, and long-range planning. By bringing out in the foreground and substantiating the observation that competitive environments place a strategic premium on surprise, the concept of iterative lagged asymmetric responses makes a contribution to the never-ending and many-pronged debate about the extent to which the future can be predicted.

PT Yuniko Asia Prima merupakan perusahaan tekstil yang memperdagangkan benang dan kain. Dalam menjalankan bisnisnya, perusahaan ini menjalankan transaksinya baik secara tunai maupun kredit. Dalam proses bisnisnya, terdapat beberapa bagian yang belum optimal, seperti pembuatan laporan masih bersifat sederhana dengan menggunakan aplikasi Microsoft Excel, sehingga belum berteknologi basis data dan terintegrasi satu sama lain antara laporan penjualan dan laporan pelunasan. Hal tsb menyebabkan sulitnya melihat status kredit suatu pelanggan, yang mengakibatkan sulitnya pengambilan keputusan untuk pemberian kredit.  Selain permasalahan proses binsis, terdapat pula permasalahan dari segi investasi SI/TI yang cukup mahal yaitu kebutuhan mesin untuk produksi yang disebabkan perubahan teknologi pada mesin industri yang cepat mengalami perubahan.
Pada era teknologi seperti sekarang ini, teknologi informasi sangat dibutuhkan oleh setiap perusahaan agar memiliki keunggulan kompetitif. Perusahaan dituntut untuk merumuskan perencanaan stratejik dengan memanfaatkan sistem dan teknologi informasi. Sistem dan teknologi informasi dapat menjadi alat pendukung keberhasilan jika dimanfaatkan dengan baik dan benar. Pengolahan data yang cepat, teknologi basis data, dan perolehan informasi yang singkat adalah salah satu dari manfaat teknologi informasi saat ini. Hal ini sangat mempengaruhi dunia bisnis dalam pengambilan keputusan yang cepat, tepat, dan mengurangi kesalahan yang disebabkan oleh manusia (human error). Pendekatan teknologi informasi dapat menjawab permasalahan diatas, dengan memanfaatkan TI dan SI dapat membawa perubahan ke arah yang lebih baik jika digunakan secara efektif dan efisien. SI dan TI yang tidak terbatas ruang dan waktu dapat membuat perubahan dalam proses pengambilan keputusan secara efektif dalam rangka memenangkan persaingan. Oleh karena itu perlu dibuat perencanaan strategis SI yang baik. Salah satunya adalah dengan metode dari John Ward dan Joe Peppard seperti metode analisis PEST, analisa CSF, Balanced Scorecard, analisis value chain. Lalu ada juga Lima Model Persaingan Porter dan analisis SWOT serta Peta Strategis McFarlan.
Dengan adanya penelitian ini akan menghasilkan manajemen sistem informasi serta perencanaan strategis SI yang bermanfaat bagi perusahaan.

This paper is one of the few studies to review the empirical literature on strategic management tools and techniques usage. There are many techniques, tools, and methods, models, frameworks, approaches, and methodologies, available to support strategic managers in decision making. They are developed and designed to support managers in all stages of strategic management process to achieve better performance. Management schools provide knowledge of these tools. But their use in organizations should be seen in practice‑based context. Consequently, some questions arise: Do they use these strategic tools and techniques in their workplace? Which strategic tools and techniques are used more in organizations? To answer these questions we have made a review of empirical studies using textual narrative synthesis method. Initially, this study presents a tabulation with a summary of empirical research for the period 1990–2015. The included studies are organized clustering them by enterprise size and sector and by country level development. A synopsis of the ten most used strategic tools and techniques worldwide resulted as follows: SWOT analysis, benchmarking, PEST analysis, " what if " analysis, vision and mission statements, Porter's five forces analysis, business financial analysis, key success factors analysis, cost‑benefit analysis and customer satisfaction.

This paper examines the usage of strategy tools from the strategy-as-practice perspective. In general, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding the use of strategy tools, particularly in transition economies. The comprehensive and up-to-date research is mainly concerned with the extent of their use and classification. Thus, academics have already highlighted the need to review their role, importance, and use. Accordingly, this research seeks to bridge the current gap between theoretical constructs and empirical proof of the use of strategy tools in enterprises. The study design used for this research is cross-sectional and data were obtained from 314 enterprises in the Republic of Kosova, using standardized survey-based questionnaires. The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which strategy tools are used in Kosovan enterprises. It also aims to distinguish their use according to educational background of managers/owners, enterprise size and across different sectors. The results of this study reveal that Kosovan enterprises have a low usage rate of strategy tools. More precisely, the two most used strategy tools are SWOT analysis and vision and mission statements. This paper provides some important insights into strategy tools usage in the Republic of Kosova, as a transition economy. While it provides a better understanding and awareness of strategy tools usage, there are other possible study areas that could offer significant value in future research.
