*Original Question “We need to put our Firm
and Industry Growth in perspective”
*The Correct Question - “…. And thanks to Data
Science there is a Strategic Framework for
that… You have already seen the Business
Capacity & Organic Business Growth
Framework which was Inward Facing… This is
Outward Facing… You need to use Both
together to understand Growth. Allow me to
explain.”

*Assume two firms A and B growing by 10% and
20% respectively
*Assume Industry/Market Growth is 5% from
1000 units to 1050 units
*In One Year
*How do we model this?
*What conclusions can we make?

*Start with Firm & Industry Growth Projections
*Scale The Projections down/up to Actual
Growth and calculate the Competitive Index
e.g. In Year 2 projected is 1150 while Actual is
1050 hence CI = ~1.1
*Do this every Quarter using Publically available
Information and Financial and Research Reports

* This Chart Seems Uninteresting
because its made using Mock
Data. Real Charts using Industry
and Firms Growth Projections and
Actual Growths are extremely
insightful
* The Industry/ Market Growth
Curve is Normally U shaped
* Competitive Index of 1.0 implies
Status Quo
* Competitive Index Below 1.0
implies Detrimental Monopolistic
Competition. Yay! Now we can
detect this…

* Rule: Your Survivability in
your Industry is
Proportional to (i) Your
Growth Rate, and then (ii)
your Market Share
* GE has always harped
about the need for being
in the Top 3 in any
industry. Now we can see
why that’s true!
* When your Firm (A)
Growth Declines lower
than Industry Growth It is
Time for M&A…. See Year 2
& 6. This is consistent with
our Mental Understanding.
