4. Factor Description Effect
Industry Rivalry No huge capital investment is required to start a new company,
leading to very large numbers of small and medium-size
companies. It is becoming increasingly difficult for players to
differentiate, which has led to a decrease in margins. However,
a few top and niche players still enjoy pricing power. Thus, the
competition in the sector is HIGH.
Bargaining
Power of
Suppliers
Knowledgeable human resource is the largest requirement for
the IT Sector. Large supply of this human source, at low cost is
available from around the world. Also, a lot of matured
education and training is easily available. As there exist many
competitive suppliers in the supplier has very LOW or NO
power in the IT sector.
Bargaining
Power of Buyers
The Indian IT sector has a large number of players and few
entry barriers for new entrants. Thus, the buyer has many
options to choose from and can clearly articulate their needs.
However, the bigger companies also enjoy the advantage of
switching costs. It means that once a particular client selects a
particular company as its partner, it becomes dependent on
that company for all its upgrades and technology requirements,
making it difficult for the client to switch. Thus, the buyers have
a MEDIUM bargaining leverage.
Economic
Growth
India’s growth has declined over the past few years; falling
from around 6.5% for the fiscal year 2011-12 to about 5% for
fiscal 2012-13.The slowdown has been marked by a sharp
drop in investment growth resulting from political uncertainties,
a tightening of macroeconomic policies aimed at addressing a
high fiscal deficit and high wage inflation, attrition rate, high
dependency on US economy and volatile currency

5. movements.
Growth- The growth of Industry is expected to increase by seeing the trend but as a company,
Wipro has been overtaken by Cognizant making it 4th
largest IT Company of India from the previous
position of third. After the news of Wipro joint CEO Girish Paranjape and Suresh Vaswani leaving the
organization citing personal reasons in previous year was also a difficult pill to swallow. The results of
Wipro haven’t been impressive. The tough competition leading to loss of market share poses a high
risk to the growth of Wipro. Considering these factors the Growth is given neutral rating.
Capital Market Conditions- The company’s stock has been consistently performing well and
they are easily came out from recession in 2008 and till then their stocks are performing good and
this trend is likely to continue in the near future. Hence the capital market conditions are given a
positive rating.
Inference from Stock price movement: An overall increase in stock price can be clearly seen and
also, company was able to survive in 2009 inspite of economic downturn and had managed to
increase its stock price to around 179% after 2009 which shows the strength of the company and its
ability to increase its revenue and in comparison to 2008, it has managed well which results in
substantial increase in stock price i.e. 200% in 5 years of duration.
