foods (because of their broader product line) which are well-run and
financially sound competitors.

economic, political and governmental constraints.

 The five forces model of Porter is and outside-in business unit strategy tool
that is used to make an analysis of the attractiveness (value…) of an
industry structure
 Allows the development of a competitive strategy
 Suggests 5 main forces may be decisive in helping shape the outcome:
Suppliers
New entrants
Substitutes
Buyers
Industrial competitors

26. Cont…

27. Threats of new entrants
 New entrants bring increased capacity to the industry and are often backed
by substantial resources.
 New entrants can be deterred by “barriers to entry”

28. Threat of new entrant
The main barriers are…….
 Economies of scale
 Patents
 Product differentiation
 Capital requirements (financial & specialist equipment)
 Skills
 Reaction/strategic decisions of incumbents (ex-all undercut new entrant)
 Government policy (ex-de-regulation)

29. The bargaining power of suppliers
 Supplier exert power in the industry by threatening to raise prices or reduce
quality.
 Powerful suppliers can squeeze industry profitability if firms are unable to
recover cost increases.

30. The bargaining power of suppliers
Suppliers are likely to be powerful if:
 Supplier industry is dominated by a new firms.
 Suppliers products have few substitutes.
 Buyer is not an important input to buyers product.
 Suppliers products have high switching cost.

31. The bargaining power of buyers
Buyers compete with the supplying industry by:
 Bargaining down prices
 Forcing higher quality
 Playing firms off of one another

32. The threat of substitute products
Products with similar function limit the prices firms can charge
Keys to evaluate substitute products:
 Products with improving price/performance tradeoffs relative to present
industry products

33. The threat of substitute
products…..Questions?
 How many substitute products/services have appeared in your industry in
the last 5 years?
 What are they? How different are they?
 Were they introduced by your organization or others?
 Which organization in your industry does the most Research and
Development?
 What happens to price, profits and market share when substitutes are
introduced?

34. Rivalry among existing competitors
 Intensive rivalry often plays out in the following ways:
 Price competition
 Advertising battles
 Increasing consumer warranties and service
 New product roll-outs
 Price competition often leaves the entire industry worse off

35. Porter’s 5 model – PepsiCo
Traditional competition:
 Prices of Coca Cola, local brands
 Market share
 Promotional actions of competition
New entrants:
 New “look-alike” manufacturers
Substitute products:
 Fashionable new drinks, milk drinks, coffee, beer, water, smoothies…

36. Porter’s 5 model – PepsiCo
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

38. Pepsi’s Successes and Failures in
Brazil and Germany
 PesiCo has been operating in Brazil since 1953
 “Pepsi’s heavy new investment in Brazil, which actually started early this
year, is funneled through a joint venture with Baesa, a bottler based in
Buenos Aires that operates in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica and Puerto
Rico.”
 PepsiCo in Germany made a smarter move by acquiring Punica, Germany’s
premiere juice provider.
 PepsiCo is one of the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of
beverages
 Pepsi has very limited brands in Germany.
 Their struggles in Germany include Coca-cola and a rash of suicidal
commercials for Pepsi Max that depicts a single lonely calorie committing
suicide.

39. Marketing Products and Services
 Taste testing
 Television, Billboard and Print Media
 Interactive/Web-based marketing

40. Recommendations
 Adopting a Cost-Leadership Stratergy
 New Product Development

41. Cost-Leadership Strategy
 Advertising and innovative promotion.
 Optimal outsourcing for production and vertical integration.
 Improving production efficiencies through Kaizen.

42. New Product Development
 Produce a range of ‘healthy’ alternatives
under the brand name ‘Pepsi Fresh’.
 Our suggestion would be a range of
Vitamin enrinched waters under the name
‘Pepsi Fresh’

43. Conclusion
 It can be seen then that differences do exist between Coca-Cola and Pepsi
Cola.
 This can be seen in the marketing variables which are the basis for
segmentation such as age and geographic variables.
 In a competitive market, both companies must identify and target different
market segments in order to remain at the cutting edge.
 Differences between the companies are evident with respect to product,
pricing, place and promotion.
 Coca-cola relies heavily on value: quality is more than something we see or
taste. (http://www.coca-cola.com).
 Pepsi, on the other hand, relies on its success resulting from superior
products and high standards of performance (http://www.pepsico.com).
