industry
 4 broad factors are useful in understanding the
nature of an industry:
 Carry Capacity
 Uncertainty
 Complexity
 Stage of Life Cycle
Industry
 Carry Capacity: way to understand the industry’s
ability to support new growth. Can the industry
support new growth and expansion?
 Uncertainty: degree of stability or instability in an
industry. An industry that is fast-changing presents
a high degree of uncertainty – more risk and
potential for greater rewards. High-tech ventures
Industry
 Complexity: number and diversity of contacts
with which you must deal to do business.
Complex industries have more suppliers,
customers, and competitors than firms in
other industries. Also often global in nature,
are very competitive and costly to enter.

1. Exploratory Research: used when you know very little about
the subject. It forms foundation for later research when
you are more focused. A good place to start is government or
industry publications. You can also talk to people who are
knowledgeable about your field.
You can organize Focus Groups – a group of people whose
opinions studied
Conducting Market Research
2. Select the Type of Market Research
2. Descriptive Research:
 When you want to determine status.
 Collect data through questionnaires,
interviews, or observations
3. Historical Research:
 Involves studying the past
 Patterns from the past can then be
used to explain present circumstances
and predict future trends.
 Trade associations and trade
publications are 2 sources of useful
historical information. And owners in
similar business.
Start the Research Process
 An effective plan includes five steps:
1. Identify Your Information Needs
2. Obtain Secondary Resources
3. Collect Primary Data
4. Organize the Data
5. Analyze the Data
Start the Research Process
 An effective plan includes five steps:
1. Identify Your Information Needs: what kind of
information do you need to know about your customer,
industry….
2. Obtain Secondary Resources: information that has
already been collected by someone else. It is easily
obtained and inexpensive. A good source is on the
Internet. Government and community organizations are
good sources. U.S. Census Bureau’s – source for
demographics. Chamber of Commerce keeps statistics on
local trends and economic issues.
Start the Research Process
3. Collect Primary Data: Information you
collect yourself. Its current and relates
directly to your objectives.
Common methods are observation, interview,
and surveys. Surveys may be by telephone,
through the
mail or online.
In-person surveys will achieve the highest
level of success, and high response rate than
other methods. Focus Groups are more
efficient than one-on-one interviews.
Start the Research Process
4. Organize the Data:
 Categorize the data based on the research
question it answers. Working on each question,
note how many of your sources supported a
particular conclusion and how many did not.
 Create charts and graphs to depict your findings
and record your results in report form.
5. Analyze the Data: ask some basic questions
 Is there a market for the product/service?
 How big is the market?
 Will the industry support such a business?
 What do substitute products reveal about
demand for the product?
 What do customers, end users, and
intermediaries predict the demand will be?
Industry and Market Analysis
 Researching the Industry
 Trends and Patterns of Change: find
opportunities in an industry by looking at trends
and patterns of change.

 Industry Forces that Affect Your Business
 Barriers to Entry: conditions or circumstances that make it difficult
or costly for outside firms to enter a market or compete with the
established firm or firms.
 Economies of Scale: the cost of producing one unit of a good or
service decreases as the volume of production increases. Established
businesses have achieved economies of scale in production, marketing
and distribution.
 Brand Loyalty: customers who are brand loyal do not easily switch to a
new company that enters the industry.
 Government regulates many industries and this results in higher costs.

power, a new business may have difficulty gaining a foothold. Large
discount buyers (WalMart) have enormous bargaining power

segments.
 Who are my customers?

 How can my product meet their needs, or what value can I provide?
Industry and Market Analysis
 Researching the Target Customer
 Evaluating Customer’s Needs – a customer needs analysis
pinpoints the features and benefits of your goods or services that
customers value.
 Forecasting Demand – need to know how much of your product will
they buy and how often they will buy it.
 Difficult to forecast with any degree of certainty
 Various methods to forecast:
 Project: use analogous products, base demand for your product
based on demand for another one.
 Interview prospective customers and intermediaries. Talking with
people who work in industry- customers, distributors, wholesalers,
and retailers can give you a good estimate of demand
 Limited production to test the market. Use a kiosk gauge demand
