Title
Introduction
Five forces
Conclusion
Introduction
 Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter created the tool.
Since its publication in 1979, it has become one of the most popular
and highly regarded business strategy tools.

 According to Porter, five forces represent an industry's key sources of


competitive pressure. They are:
1. Competitive Rivalry.
2. Supplier Power.
3. Buyer Power.
4. Threat of Substitution.
5. Threat of New Entry.

let’s understand the five forces with an example of a supermarket


business.
Competitive Rivalry
The first of Porter's Five Forces looks at the number and strength of
your competitors. Consider how many rivals the business has, who they
are, and how the quality of their product compares with ours.

• High Number of Competitors

• Location and Size of Stores

• Customer Loyalty Programs

• Innovation and Differentiation


Supplier Power
Suppliers gain power if they can increase their prices quickly or reduce
the quality of their products. If your suppliers are the only ones who
can supply a particular service, they have considerable supplier power.
Even if businesses can switch suppliers, business must consider how
expensive it would be.

• National Brands

• Private Label Products

• Supplier Concentration
Buyer’s power
If the number of buyers is low compared to the number of suppliers in an
industry, then they have what's known as "buyer power." This means they
may find it easy to switch to new, cheaper competitors, which can
ultimately drive down prices.

• Plenty of Alternatives

• Price Sensitivity

• Informed Consumers

• Low Switching Costs


Threat of substitution
This refers to the likelihood of your customers finding a different way
of doing what business do. It could be cheaper, or better, or both. The
threat of substitution rises when customers find it easy to switch to
another product, or when a new and desirable product enters the market
unexpectedly.

• Limited Substitutes for Core Products

• Shifting Consumer Preferences

• Convenience and Price of Substitutes


Threat of new entry
Potential rival’s ability to enter your market can affect a business's
position. If it takes little money and effort to enter your market and
compete effectively, or if the company needs more protection for its key
technologies, then rivals can quickly enter your market and weaken your
position.

• High Barriers to Entry

• Established Brands

• Economies of Scale
Conclusion
 By understanding and applying Porter's Five Forces, a business can gain valuable
insights into its competitive environment. This knowledge will empower the
industry to develop effective strategies that ensure business thrives in the face of
competition and changing market dynamics.
 We have to Remember, that it's a continuous process, so we have to keep analysing,
adapting, and innovating to maintain a successful business.
