INTRODUCTION
• The Five Forces model of Porter is an outside-in
business unit strategy tool that is used to make an
analysis of the attractiveness (value...) of an industry
structure.

• Collective strength of these forces determines the profit


potential of an industry and thus its attractiveness

PORTER’s FIVE FORCEs MODEL
1. Threat of
new entrants
1. Threat of new entrants
The market is full of competition. Not only the existing firms pose threat to
the business, but the arrival of new entrants is also a challenge.

As per the ideal scenario, the market is always open for entry and exits,
resulting in comparable profits to all the firms.

But, this is not applicable in the real picture market.

In reality, all industries have some traits that protect their high profits and
help them in warding off potential new entrants by erecting barriers
Threats of New Entrants :
McDonald’s company analysis

1. The threat of new entrants in the fast food industry is


high because there are no legal barriers.
2. The economies of scale and the access of the
distribution are the major barriers that firms face in the
industry.
3. Firms must spend a large amount of capital on
advertising and marketing in order to enjoy successful
existence and long life of a fast food outlet.
4. Large established companies with strong brand names
such as McDonald’s make it more difficult to enter the
market because new entrants are faced with price
competition from existing chain restaurants.
5. Thus, it takes a pretty much time for a new business to
establish in the fast food industry.

Bargaining
Power of
Suppliers
Bargaining power of suppliers
Since the company needs raw material for producing, therefore the
producers have to build a relationship with its suppliers.
When suppliers have the power in their hands, they can exert
influence on the producing firms by selling them raw materials at
higher prices.
EXAMPLE

Wal-Mart as an organization thrives on the basis of its


relationship with its suppliers.
PORTER’s FIVE FORCEs MODEL

Threat of
Substitute
Products
Threat of substitutes
The substitutes can be defined as the products of other industries that
have the ability to satisfy similar needs.

Example: Coffee can be a substitute for tea, as it can be also used as a


caffeine drink in the morning.

When price of a substitute product changes, the demand of a related


product also gets affected.

When the number of substitute product increases, the competition also


increases as the customers have more alternatives to select from. This
forces the companies to raise or lower down the prices. Hence, it can be
concluded that the competition created by the substitute firms is ‘price
competition’.
Threat of Substitute: Examples
PORTER’s FIVE FORCEs MODEL

s Bargaining
Power of
Buyers
3. Bargaining power of buyers

This has an important effect on the manufacturing industry.

When there many producers and there is a single customer in the


market,
then that situation is called as ‘monopsony’.

In these markets, the position of the buyer is very strong and he sets the
price. In reality, only a few monopsony markets exists.

The bargaining power of the buyers compels the firms to reduce the
prices
and may also demand a product or service of higher quality at low price.
Bargaining power of Customers:
Example of Coca-Cola Company

depends on the marketing channel used. or Coca-Cola,

1. Super Markets
2. Convenience Stores
3. Mass Merchandisers
4. Soda Shop
5. vending machine
6. Restaurants and Food stores

Bargaining power of buyer is high for fountain supermarkets


and mass merchandising because of the low profitability and
strong negotiation power of retail channels but for vending
bargaining power is non- existing caused by high profitability.
PORTER’s FIVE FORCEs MODEL

Rivalry inside the


industry
5. Rivalry inside the industry
For most industriesthe intensity of competitive rivalry is the
major determinant of the competitiveness of the industry.

Potential factors:

• Sustainable competitive advantage through innovation


• Competition between online and offline companies
• Level of advertising expense
• Powerful competitive strategy
• Firm concentration ratio
• Degree of transparency
Intensity of rivalry among established firms
: Examples
Coca-cola
• Traditional competition:
 Prices of Pepsi, local brands
 Market share
 Promotional actions of competition

• New entrants:
 New “look-a-like” manufacturers

• Substitute products:
 Fashionable new drinks, milk drinks, coffee, beer, ...
Coca-cola
• Suppliers:
 Price and availability of ingredients on world market
 Quality speed safety, traceability, flexibility of supply chain

• Buyers/consumers:
 High as a result of intense competition both among
branded and unbranded products.
 Combined purchase power of shops, bars, supermarkets
Competitive Advantage
• The Competitive Advantage model of Porter learns that
competitive strategy is about taking offensive or defensive
action to create a defendable position in an industry, in order
to cope successfully with competitive forces.

• Companies can combat the pressure of the five forces and


create competitive advantages.

• There are 2 basics types of Competitive Advantage :


 Cost leadership (low cost)
 Differentiation
Strengths of five forces
model:
 The model is strong tool for competitive analysis at
industry level.

 It provides useful input for performing a SWOT


analysis.
Limitations
• Inside-out strategy is ignored (core competence)

• It does not cope with synergies and interdependencies


within the portfolio of large corporations (parenting
advantage)

• The environments which are characterized by rapid, systemic and


radical change require more flexible, dynamic or emergent
approaches to strategy formulation (disruptive innovation)

• Sometimes it may be possible to create completely new markets


instead of selecting from existing ones (blue ocean strategy)
