grk
New Entrants

– Can it be raised ?
– What is tending to lower the barriers?
• Who are the potential new entrants?
– What are their Characteristics?
• What could be their competitive
strategies?
– How are they likely to reshape the industry?
• When will they enter?
grk
Suppliers
• Are Suppliers concentrated ?
• How concentrated are the buyers?
• Can suppliers be switched freely?
• How large are their productions?
• How important the product is for the output
quality?
• Percentage cost ?
• What is their bargaining power?
grk
Buyers
• How fast is demand growing?
• What are the switching costs?
• How price-sensitive the
consumer are?
• What is the customer’s
bargaining power?
grk
Substitutes
• What are the alternatives?
• What could be their impact?
• How quickly they can penetrate?
• Are there any players in the
industry, who considers substitute
as an opportunity for diversification?
grk
Industry Competitors
• Who are the major competitors?
• What are their basic characteristics?
• Relative Positions?
• What is the competitive advantage of each of
them?
• How do they compete?
• What form does competition take?
• How is product differentiation achieved?
• How competitive is the industry?
grk
Porter’s “Structure-conduct-
performance”
• Structure will impact conduct or
competitive behaviour
• Conduct of firms will influence average
performance of firms
• As intensity of forces increases,
environment becomes more hostile &
overall industry profit will decline.
grk
Competitive Advantage

• What – It is visible to rivals
• How – It is not Visible to
outsiders?
grk
Value Innovation Strategy
• Creation of a blue ocean and a break from the
competition
• Pursues differentiation and low cost simultaneously
• It is a whole system approach which affects both its
cost structure and its value preposition to buyers
• The whole system of firm’s activities are aligned to
the pursuit of differentiation and low cost
• Thus creates uncontested market space
• Makes competition irrelevant
grk
Principles of Blue Ocean Strategy

minimizes the weighted-average cost
of capital and maximizes the share
price and value of the enterprise.
grk
Think like an Investor
• Cost of debt
• Cost of Equity
• Debt/Equity mix
• P/E ratio
• M/Book ratio
• EBIT multiple
• Bond rating
• Ownership
• Short portion
grk
From a Competitor’s Perspective
• Standard Practice
• Strategic Position
– Define the universe of competitors
– Financial ratios
– Identify similarities and differences
– Foreign companies data
– Historical Normalization
– Deliberate
grk
Important Measures for Comparison
• Size
• ROA
• Shareholder Wealth
• Predictability
• Growth
• Financial Flexibility
• Others
grk
From an Internal Perspective
• Financial Flexibility
– Excess cash + (Debt at minimum rating – Current
Debt outstanding)
• Sustainability
– ROE x (1-DPO)
• De Pont system of ratios
– ROE = P/S x S/A x A/E
• Financial-leverage equation
– ROE = [ROTC + (ROTC – Ka) x (D/E)]
• Feasibility
grk
What is Best?
• Flexibility
• Risk
• Income
• Control
• Timing
