 The extent of standardization or differentiation of the product.
 Switching costs.

STRATEGIC GROUPS
According to Porter, “a strategic group is the group of firms in an
industry following the same or similar strategy along the strategic
dimensions’’. Normally , a small number of strategic groups capture the
essential strategic differences among firms in the industry although one
may even think of the extreme cases of an industry having only one
strategic group on the one end and each firm in an industry amounting to
a strategic group on the other end.

14. 14
IMPLICATIONS OF STRATEGIC GROUPS
This concept has implications for industry analysis & identification of
opportunities & threats 1.A company’s immediate competitors are firms
within the same strategic group 2.The nature and intensity of competition &
business prospects vary from strategic group to group. 3.High mobility
barriers normally help insulate the group from new entrants and facilitate
high profitability. 4.Just like entry barriers, mobility barriers can change; &
as they do firms often abandon some strategic groups & jump into new
ones, changing the pattern of strategic group. 5.The competitive standing of
the different strategic groups would be different with respect to each of the
five competitive forces.
