12. Porter Five Forces Analysis
The Porter models involves scanning the environment
for threats from competitors and identifying problems
early on in order to minimize threats imposed by
competitors.
This model can apply for any type of business, from
small to larger sized businesses.
13. History
Porter five forces analysis is a framework for industry
analysis and business strategy development formed
by Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School in
1979.
It draws upon industrial organization (IO)
economics to derive five forces that determine the
competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of
a market. Attractiveness in this context refers to the
overall industry profitability.
14. Purpose
The purpose of the Porter's five forces model is to help
businesses compare and analyze their profitability and
position with the industry against indirect and direct
competition.
15. Porter Five Forces
The threat of new entrant
Bargaining power of buyers
Threat of substitute product of services
Bargaining powers of suppliers
Rival among existing competitors
16.
17. Threat of New Entrants
The existence of barriers to entry (patents, rights, etc.)
The most attractive segment is one in which entry
barriers are high and exit barriers are low. Few new
firms can enter and non-performing firms can exit
easily.
Economies of product differences
Brand equity
18. Switching costs or sunk costs
Capital requirements
Access to distribution
Customer loyalty to established brands
Absolute cost
Industry profitability
19. Bargaining Power of Buyers
The bargaining power of customers is also described as the
market of outputs: the ability of customers to put
the firm under pressure, which also affects the customer's
sensitivity to price changes.
Buyer concentration to firm concentration ratio
Degree of dependency upon existing channels of
distribution
Bargaining leverage, particularly in industries with
high fixed costs
20. Buyer switching costs relative to firm switching costs
Buyer information availability
Availability of existing substitute products
Buyer price sensitivity
Differential advantage (uniqueness) of industry
products
21. Threat of Substitutes products or
Services
Buyer propensity to substitute
Relative price performance of substitute
Buyer switching costs
Perceived level of product differentiation
22. Number of substitute products available in the
market
Ease of substitution. Information-based products are
more prone to substitution, as online product can
easily replace material product.
Substandard product
Quality depreciation
23. Bargaining Power of Suppliers
The bargaining power of suppliers is also described
as the market of inputs.
Suppliers of raw materials, components, labour, and
services (such as expertise) to the firm can be a
source of power over the firm, when there are few
substitutes.
24. Suppliers may refuse to work with the firm, or, e.g.,
charge excessively high prices for unique resources.
Supplier switching costs relative to firm switching
costs
Degree of differentiation of inputs
25. Impact of inputs on cost or differentiation
Presence of substitute inputs
Strength of distribution channel
Supplier concentration to firm concentration ratio
26. Employee solidarity (e.g. labour unions)
Supplier competition - ability to forward vertically
integrate and cut out the BUYER
Ex.: If you are making biscuits and there is only one
person who sells flour, you have no alternative but to
buy it from him.
27. Intensity of Competitive Rivalry
For most industries, the intensity of competitive
rivalry is the major determinant of the competitiveness
of the industry.
Sustainable competitive advantage through innovation
Competition between online and offline companies

Flexibility through customization, volume and variety

61. BCG Growth – Share Matrix
It is a portfolio planning model which classifies
company’s business units into four categories :
Stars
Question marks
Cash cows
Dogs
It is primarily based on the combinations of market
share and market growth relative to the next best
competitor.
62.
63. STARS
High growth rate, High market share
Stars are leaders in business
Require heavy investment to remain in large
marketshare
Leads to large amount of cash consumption and cash
generation
Attempts should be made to hold the marketshare
otherwise the Star will become the next cash flow
64. CASH COWS
Low growth, high market share
They are foundation of the company and often the
stars of yesterday
They generate more cash than required
They extract the profits by investing as little as
possible
They are located in an industry that is mature, not
growing or declining.
65. DOGS
low growth, low market share
Dogs are the cash traps
Dogs lack potential to bring in much cash
Number of dogs in an enterprise should be minimized
Business is situated at a declining stage
66. Question Mark
High growth, low market share
Most businesses start of as question marks
They will absorb great amount of cash if the market
share remains unchanged
Questions marks have the potential to become star
and eventually cash cow but can also become a dog
Investment should be high for question marks

68. Example : Apple Inc.(2011)
Apple is renowned worldwide for its product
innovation and investment in R & D.
Products include I phone, I pod, I tune music store,
Mac OS X, Mac mini, Mac software, Apple Macs,5th
generation I pod, etc.

Apple products Growth rate(%) Market share(%)
I phone 48 28
I pod (star) 28 60
Apple I tunes 7.6 82
Mac OS X 31.7 0.09
Mac Software 32 0.01
Apple Macs -- --

71. Limitations
BCG Matrix uses only two dimensions and overlooks
many other factors.
The framework assumes that each business unit is
independent of the others.
The matrix depends heavily upon the breadth of the
definition of the market.
72. Problems of getting data on market share and market
growth.
High market share does not mean profits all the time.
Business with low market share can be profitable too
