this is the lectures of "Competitive Strategy" workshop in AUT university, in the first part it is concentrated on the differences between strategy and OE, then Five forces model is described.
other parts are about Life-Cycle analysis,Capability analysis, Competitor analysis and 3 generic strategies.
2. What is STRATEGY?
Is it similar to Operational Effectiveness (OE)?

3. For almost two decades, managers have been
learning to play by a new set of rules. Companies
must be flexible to respond rapidly to competitive and
market changes. They must benchmark continuously
to achieve best practice. They must outsource
aggressively to gain efficiencies. Other management
tools and techniques: total quality management,
time-based competition, partnering, reengineering,

5. Is Positioning dynamic or static?
Although the resulting operational
improvements have often been dramatic, many
companies have been frustrated by their
inability to translate those gains into
sustainable profitability. And bit by bit, almost
imperceptibly, management tools have taken the
place of strategy. As managers push to improve
on all fronts, they move farther away from viable
competitive positions.

17. Threat of Entry
• New entrants to an industry bring new
capacity, the desire to gain market share,
and often substantial resources.
• The threat of entry into an industry depends
on the barriers to entry that are present,
coupled with the reaction from existing
competitor that the entrant can expect.

• Product differentiation
• Capital requirements
• Switching costs

Experience & Scale as Entry Barriers
• Experience is more ethereal entry barrier than scale,
because the mere presence of an experience it is not
available to competitors by: (1) copying (2) hiring a
competitors employee (3) purchasing the latest machinery.

Introduction
21. Pressure from Substitute Products
• Substitute limits the potential returns of an
industry by placing a ceiling on the prices
firms in the industry can profitably charge.
• Identifying substitute products is a matter of
searching for other products that can perform
the same function as the product of the
industry.

22. Bargaining Power of Buyers
• A buyer group is powerful if the following
circumstances hold true:
- It is concentrated or purchased large
volumes relative to seller sales
- The products it purchase from the
industry represent a significant fraction of the
buyer’s costs or purchases.
- The products it purchases from the
industry is standard or undifferentiated.
- It faces few switching costs.

24. Bargaining Power of Suppliers
• A supplier group is powerful if the following
apply:
- It is dominated by a few companies and is
more concentrated that the industry it sells to.
- It is not obliged to contend with other
substitute products for sale to the industry.
- The industry is not an important customer
of the supplier group.
- the supplier’s product is an important
input to the buyer’s business.
