industry, Industry Analysis, Why is Industry Analysis Important? How Industry and Firm-Level Factors Affect Performance, Techniques Available to Assess Industry Attractiveness, Studying Industry Trends
This document summarizes Michael Porter's framework of the five competitive forces that shape industry competition and profitability. The five competitive forces are the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of substitute products, and rivalry among existing competitors. Understanding how these forces interact in an industry allows companies to develop strategies to enhance long-term profits, such as positioning in areas where competitive forces are weakest. Porter provides examples of industries like commercial aviation that have many intense competitive forces, resulting in low profitability, and industries like software that have more benign forces and higher profits.
The PPT presents at length the idea of dealing with competition. Includes Porter's 5 Force model. Segment rivalry. Various examples and relevant cases are included.
The document discusses strategy formulation and situational analysis using the SWOT approach. It describes SWOT analysis as a tool that identifies internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats for a company. It also discusses criticisms of SWOT analysis such as using a single point in time and not being connected to customer views. The document then covers generating a strategic factors analysis summary matrix, finding market niches, reviewing mission and objectives, and Porter's competitive strategies of cost leadership, differentiation, cost focus, and differentiation focus. It analyzes industry structures and discusses cooperative strategies like strategic alliances.
1) The document discusses Porter's five forces model for analyzing industry competition. The five competitive forces are the threat of new entrants, rivalry among existing competitors, bargaining power of buyers, bargaining power of suppliers, and threat of substitute products.
2) Within Porter's framework, strong competitive forces are threats that depress profits while weak forces are opportunities to earn greater profits.
3) The document provides details on each of the five competitive forces, how to assess their strength, and their implications for industry competition and company profitability.
The document discusses the process of conducting a feasibility analysis and designing a business model for a new business idea. It describes conducting an idea assessment to evaluate the viability of an idea, then performing a feasibility analysis to determine if the idea can become a successful business. This involves analyzing the industry environment, market research, and financial forecasts. A business model is then developed to outline the key aspects of how the business will function, including value offered, target customers, resources needed, and revenue model. The business model helps test assumptions and pivot the idea as needed based on customer feedback before fully launching the business.

The Five Competitive Forces That Shape Strategyby Michael E..docxcherry686017
The Five Competitive Forces That Shape Strategy
by Michael E. Porter
Editor’s Note: In 1979, Harvard Business Review published “How Competitive Forces Shape Strategy” by a young economist
and associate professor, Michael E. Porter. It was his first HBR article, and it started a revolution in the strategy field. In
subsequent decades, Porter has brought his signature economic rigor to the study of competitive strategy for corporations,
regions, nations, and, more recently, health care and philanthropy. “Porter’s five forces” have shaped a generation of academic
research and business practice. With prodding and assistance from Harvard Business School Professor Jan Rivkin and
longtime colleague Joan Magretta, Porter here reaffirms, updates, and extends the classic work. He also addresses common
misunderstandings, provides practical guidance for users of the framework, and offers a deeper view of its implications for
strategy today.
In essence, the job of the strategist is to understand and cope with competition. Often, however, managers define competition
too narrowly, as if it occurred only among today’s direct competitors. Yet competition for profits goes beyond established
industry rivals to include four other competitive forces as well: customers, suppliers, potential entrants, and substitute products.
The extended rivalry that results from all five forces defines an industry’s structure and shapes the nature of competitive
interaction within an industry.
As different from one another as industries might appear on the surface, the underlying drivers of profitability are the same. The
global auto industry, for instance, appears to have nothing in common with the worldwide market for art masterpieces or the
heavily regulated health-care delivery industry in Europe. But to understand industry competition and profitability in each of
those three cases, one must analyze the industry’s underlying structure in terms of the five forces. (See the exhibit “The Five
Forces That Shape Industry Competition.”)
