An analysis of the external environment is undertaken in order to discover the opportunities and threats that are evolving and that need to be addressed by the organization. A study by Diffenbach (1983) identified a number of positive consequences that stem from carrying out an organized environmental analysis. An analysis of the external environment can be broken down into three key steps, each becoming more specific to the organization. The first step is an analysis of the macro-environmental influences that the organization faces. This is followed by an examination of the competitive (micro) environment the organization operates within. Finally a specific competitive analysis is undertaken.
This document discusses various factors that affect entrepreneurs in a competitive market. It provides advice to new entrepreneurs on dealing with challenges from existing competitors and changes in the market. Specifically, it addresses how a competitive analysis helps entrepreneurs understand market forces. It also discusses how the entry of new competitors, high capital investments, volume of goods, distribution networks, branding, substitutes, and limited raw materials can impact entrepreneurs. The document suggests strategies for new entrepreneurs like differentiating products, strategic planning, innovative marketing, and maintaining inventory to ensure product viability in changing market conditions.

CHAPTER 4Section 4.1 Industry Analysis
An analysis of the external environment covers the industry or segment in which the orga-
nization competes, its competitors, markets, and other relevant environmental trends and
changes. As illustrated in Figure 1.1, external analyses are part of the strategic thinking
process. The purpose is to understand how the environment relevant to the organization
is changing and might change in the future—in this sense, “relevant” means anything the
organization might affect or could be affected by. Without such an understanding, doing
strategic planning becomes much more difficult.
4.1 Industry Analysis
An industry analysis is the study of the healthcare industry and the forces that might
be causing it to change. It involves using a number of standard but indispensable tools
that will be discussed in this chapter. Because the ways in which the healthcare industry
changes can dramatically affect the decisions an organization makes, this analysis is a key
element in strategic planning.
The word industry in “industry analysis” can mean a segment of the larger healthcare
industry or the entire industry itself. If a healthcare organization provides services for
homebound patients, for example, for the purposes of doing a strategic analysis it is com-
peting in the home care industry, even though it is really a segment of the healthcare
industry. While HSOs must consider what is happening in the entire healthcare industry
during strategic planning, the in-depth industry analysis focuses on the arena in which
the organization competes. So while discussions in the next section use the broader term
industry analysis, remember that for HSOs this refers to their narrower segment of the
healthcare industry.
One thing to keep in mind when conducting an industry analysis is to write down what
is true for the industry—not for the organization under analysis. Sometimes data on an
industry or industry segment are easy
to obtain because they are regularly
published or because trade groups or
consulting firms keep tabs on certain
statistics. However, in some situa-
tions it may be difficult to get data for
a meaningful analysis.
To minimize errors when using inad-
equate data or relying on one person’s
estimates, it is advisable to assemble
a group of people to share perspec-
tives and use shared estimates in the
analysis. If the group is fairly knowl-
edgeable about the industry in which ...

- A market is a place that enables buyers and sellers to interact and exchange goods and services. The elements of a market include buyers, sellers, goods/services, price, money, and a defined area.
- Market structure depends on the number of buyers/firms, product type, entry barriers, and is characterized as perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, or monopoly.
- Perfect competition has many small firms/buyers, homogeneous products, no entry barriers, and price-taking firms. Monopoly has a single firm, a unique product, and high entry barriers, allowing price-setting behavior.
The business plan is a document that helps small business owners determine the resources needed to achieve objectives and provides a standard to evaluate results. It serves as a management guide and is required to secure lenders and investors. The business plan includes an executive summary, description of the business and products/services, market strategies, operations and management overview, and financial projections like income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. Supporting documents like resumes and contracts are also typically included.
This document provides an overview of security analysis, which involves analyzing tradeable financial instruments like stocks, bonds, and derivatives. It discusses the main approaches to security analysis: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis examines underlying business and economic factors, while technical analysis focuses on price trends and momentum. The document then goes into more detail about fundamental analysis and the three steps involved: economic analysis, industry analysis, and company analysis. It provides examples of key variables to consider in each type of analysis.
The document discusses analyzing a business's environment. It describes scanning the microenvironment, macroenvironment, and internal environment. The microenvironment includes suppliers, customers, and other local stakeholders. The macroenvironment includes political, economic, sociocultural, and technological forces outside a business's control. The internal environment includes internal factors like employees, resources, and structure. Environmental analysis informs strategic planning by identifying opportunities and threats from trends.
This document discusses strategies for competing in different types of industries. It describes fragmented industries as having many small companies and low barriers to entry. Strategies for fragmented industries include franchising and mergers. Embryonic and growth industries are in early stages of development and strategies depend on attracting different customer groups. Mature industries are consolidated with interdependent companies trying to manage competition. Declining industries have shrinking demand, so strategies include focusing on niche markets or harvesting cash flow. The nature of an industry and a company's capabilities determine the best strategic options.
Fundamental analysis is an evaluation method for securities that attempts to measure a stock's intrinsic value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors. This includes analyzing everything from overall economy and industry conditions to individual companies' financial statements and management. The process involves a top-down approach looking at macroeconomic indicators or a bottom-up approach analyzing specific businesses. Fundamental analysis is used for long-term investment decisions and relies on financial metrics like earnings, expenses, assets and liabilities to evaluate performance.
This document discusses analyzing a company's external environment including the general environment, industry environment, and competitor environment. It defines opportunities and threats as conditions in the general environment that could help or hinder strategic competitiveness. It also describes Porter's five forces model for industry environment analysis and discusses analyzing competitors, strategic groups, and key success factors.
The document provides an overview of technical analysis and fundamental analysis for evaluating securities. It discusses various technical analysis techniques like charts, support/resistance levels, trends and indicators. It also outlines the different aspects of fundamental analysis including economic, industry and company analysis. Key factors covered in fundamental analysis include barriers to entry, threat of substitution, bargaining power of suppliers/buyers, and financial ratios. The document aims to equip readers with tools and frameworks for conducting equity analysis of stocks.
1) The document summarizes discussions from a demand planning peer group meeting about challenges with demand forecasting and opportunities to improve processes.
2) Key topics included how to forecast demand for new products, coordinating marketing and sales to shape demand, using different supply chain strategies depending on a product's lifecycle phase, and balancing investments in demand forecasting versus supply chain agility.
3) The group was particularly interested in advancing both the "art" and "science" of demand forecasting, evaluating the value of more accurate forecasts, and determining whether to focus on forecasting improvements or product/supply chain designs that reduce the need for accuracy.
This document provides an overview of security analysis approaches. It discusses fundamental analysis, which involves macroeconomic, industry, and company analysis to evaluate performance and value. Macroeconomic analysis considers economic variables' impact on companies. Industry analysis examines the life cycle, characteristics, and profit potential. Company analysis assesses financials, marketing, accounting policies, profitability, and capital structure. Technical analysis uses historical price and volume data to identify trends that may predict future performance. Fundamental analysis attempts to determine intrinsic value, while technical analysis does not evaluate value directly.
This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 3 of BPL 5100 related to analyzing the business environment and industry forces. It defines environmental awareness and forecasting, discusses favorable and unfavorable conditions for businesses. It then outlines the generic (macro) environment including economic, social, cultural, technological, political/legal factors. Finally, it discusses analyzing industry forces using Porter's five forces model, including rivalry, potential new entrants, supplier power, buyer power, and substitutes.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
One of the major competences that strategic managers need is the ability to define their business, conduct an effective industry analysis,
and identify the "key success factors" for firms competing in their industry. This brief note discusses the steps most often found in a
solid analysis of an industry.
A.DEFINE THE INDUSTRY.
The boundaries for an industry analysis are determined by the markets and products that best describe the domain of the industry. Once
you fully understand the business segment that is to be analyzed, you are in a position to identify the capabilities required to participate
successfully in that industry, and the competitors that are likewise able to effectively target the same business segments. These
elements set the parameters for understanding and analyzing the industry. As industries converge and shift, business definitions become
more difficult. In virtually all industries, consumers are becoming more demanding for customized products and services. These
demands encourage the development of innovations, products, and competitors.
B. DESCRIBE THE INDUSTRY STRUCTURE.
For each product-market segment, an industry analysis will describe the "five-forces" of competition. The five forces discussed briefly
below predict the long run profitability of an industry and are an important first step in analyzing the industry once it has been identified.
1. Bargaining Power of Buyers: This primary force comes from the customer segments that make up the markets in which firms
compete. The size and importance of customers influences their power to negotiate prices and terms that reduce the overall
profitability of the industry. The sizes and types of buyers present in an industry determine their potential influence on product
development and influence the level of competition to be found in the industry.
2. Intensity of Rivalry: A second force comes from the competitors and the ways they compete. Each competitor offers a set of
products and services that attempts to provide higher value to the product-market segments they address. Strategies can be
designed to provide combinations of higher performance, more fashion and features, higher quality, or lower price. Increased
rivalry always leads to price or service competition that reduces the profitability of the industry.
3. Bargaining Power of Suppliers: A third influence on the profitability of an industry comes from its suppliers. In some industries,
suppliers might control critical inputs that can affect all firms’ ability to compete. Analogous to Bargaining power of Buyers,
whenever suppliers are large or few, their leverage tends to be high. Limited access to critical factors of production, equipment,
materials, or components can increase prices and accordingly limit profit potential.
4. Threat of New Entrants; a fourth force represents the ease with which a new competitor can compete for exi ...
Recognizing a potential market in Entrepreneurship.pptxKrisylJoyBGalleron
This document discusses identifying market opportunities for new business ventures. It explains that entrepreneurs should understand customer needs, determine a target market, and recognize their role in solving market problems. The document outlines the entrepreneurial process and essential mindsets for opportunity seeking, including being optimistic, passionate, and intuitive. It identifies sources of opportunities such as changes in the environment, new technologies, government policies, customer interests, and past experiences. Finally, it describes Porter's five forces model of competition within an industry from buyers, new entrants, existing rivals, substitute products, and suppliers.
The document discusses analyzing companies and industries for investment potential. It provides an overview of important steps, including researching company and industry trends, conducting a Porter's Five Forces analysis to understand the competitive landscape, and analyzing individual company trends to identify potential investment opportunities. Specific industry and company examples are given to illustrate how trends can be identified and how they positively or negatively impacted certain stocks. While trends provide insight, the document notes it is difficult to predict trends accurately and other company fundamentals must also be considered when evaluating investment opportunities.
This document summarizes a presentation on sectoral funds. It discusses sectoral funds, their pros and cons, different sectors to invest in, and investor profiles best suited for sectoral funds. The presenters recommend healthcare and IT & ITeS sectors as good long-term investments in the current economic scenario, citing strong growth in the healthcare sector from 2008-2012.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
One of the major competences that strategic managers need is the ability to define their business, conduct an effective industry analysis,
and identify the "key success factors" for firms competing in their industry. This brief note discusses the steps most often found in a
solid analysis of an industry.
A.DEFINE THE INDUSTRY.
The boundaries for an industry analysis are determined by the markets and products that best describe the domain of the industry. Once
you fully understand the business segment that is to be analyzed, you are in a position to identify the capabilities required to participate
successfully in that industry, and the competitors that are likewise able to effectively target the same business segments. These
elements set the parameters for understanding and analyzing the industry. As industries converge and shift, business definitions become
more difficult. In virtually all industries, consumers are becoming more demanding for customized products and services. These
demands encourage the development of innovations, products, and competitors.
B. DESCRIBE THE INDUSTRY STRUCTURE.
For each product-market segment, an industry analysis will describe the "five-forces" of competition. The five forces discussed briefly
below predict the long run profitability of an industry and are an important first step in analyzing the industry once it has been identified.
1. Bargaining Power of Buyers: This primary force comes from the customer segments that make up the markets in which firms
compete. The size and importance of customers influences their power to negotiate prices and terms that reduce the overall
profitability of the industry. The sizes and types of buyers present in an industry determine their potential influence on product
development and influence the level of competition to be found in the industry.
2. Intensity of Rivalry: A second force comes from the competitors and the ways they compete. Each competitor offers a set of
products and services that attempts to provide higher value to the product-market segments they address. Strategies can be
designed to provide combinations of higher performance, more fashion and features, higher quality, or lower price. Increased
rivalry always leads to price or service competition that reduces the profitability of the industry.
3. Bargaining Power of Suppliers: A third influence on the profitability of an industry comes from its suppliers. In some industries,
suppliers might control critical inputs that can affect all firms’ ability to compete. Analogous to Bargaining power of Buyers,
whenever suppliers are large or few, their leverage tends to be high. Limited access to critical factors of production, equipment,
materials, or components can increase prices and accordingly limit profit potential.
4. Threat of New Entrants; a fourth force represents the ease with which a new competitor can compete for exi ...

The document outlines the entrepreneurial process and essential mindsets for opportunity seeking, including being optimistic, passionate, and intuitive. It identifies sources of opportunities such as changes in the environment, new technologies, government policies, customer interests, and past experiences. Finally, it describes Porter's five forces model of competition within an industry from buyers, new entrants, existing rivals, substitute products, and suppliers.
The document discusses analyzing companies and industries for investment potential. It provides an overview of important steps, including researching company and industry trends, conducting a Porter's Five Forces analysis to understand the competitive landscape, and analyzing individual company trends to identify potential investment opportunities. Specific industry and company examples are given to illustrate how trends can be identified and how they positively or negatively impacted certain stocks. While trends provide insight, the document notes it is difficult to predict trends accurately and other company fundamentals must also be considered when evaluating investment opportunities.
