17
Existing Rivalry More Intense If:
• Numerous or equally balanced competitors
• Slow industry growth
• High fixed costs
• Low customer loyalties or switching costs
• Added capacity comes in large increments
• Diverse competitors
• High strategic stakes
• High exit barriers
– Specialized assets, emotional barriers, government and social restrictions (e.g.,
concerns for job losses, etc)
Threat of New Entry
• Barriers to entry
– Economies of scale
– Brand loyalties
– Capital requirements
– Switching costs independent of loyalties
– Access to distribution
– Cost disadvantages independent of scale
• Market Attractiveness
18
Expected Reactions of Firms
• Conditions that signal strong retaliation
– Firms with history of retaliation to entrants
– Firms with substantial resources
• Cash and unused debt and/or equity capacity
• Excess productive capacity
• High leverage with channels or customers
– Firms with commitment to industry and high levels of idiosyncratic
assets employed in it
– Slow industry growth
The Entry Deterring Price
• Structure of prices that just balances ...
– the potential rewards from entry that are forecast by the potential entrant with
– the expected costs of overcoming structural barriers to entry and costs of
retaliation
• If prevailing prices exceed the entry deterring price, entry will occur
19
Bargaining Power of Customers
• Customers compete for lower prices
• Customers tend to be powerful when …
– They represent a large portion of the firm’s sales
– Offerings represent large portion of their expenditures
– Offerings are undifferentiated
– Switching costs are low
– They pose a credible threat of backward integration
– Quality of offerings is not important to them
– They have full information
• Big customers are attractive and dangerous (e.g., Walmart)
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
• Suppliers “compete” with the industry by trying toforce costs higher
• Suppliers tend to be powerful when …
– They are concentrated
– There are few substitutes to their offerings
– The industry is not an important customer of theirs’
– Their offerings are important inputs to the firm’s
– Their offerings are differentiated or there are high switching costs
– They pose a credible threat of forward integration
– They have full information
20
Customer or Competitor Orientation?
• Focus on competitors: Aggressive and alert for changes
• Focus on customers: Align resources to customer needs
• Which is better?
• Which is more common?

Changing the players
• Bring in customers - Increase industry demand.
• Educate consumers about your product
• Pay customers (esp. early adopters)
• Subsidize some customers, other full paying customers will follow (Initial discount to lower
risk)
• Become your own customer
• Bring in suppliers
• Bring in complementors
• Do it yourself.
• Encourage complementors to come (Banking)
• Bring in competitors
• License technology to make money, avoid complacency
• Create a second source to encourage buyers to adopt technology
22
Changing the added value
• Limit your supply
• DeBeers and diamonds
• Raise amount consumers are willing to pay
• Policies that build loyalty (frequent flier miles) increase willingness to pay - GM / Ford credit
cards; Intuit
• Lower competitors’ value
• Questions to ask:
• What is your added value?
• How can you increase value by changing supply, buyers, suppliers, complementors, or
substitutorsin your value net?
• What is the value added by other players? Should you be increasing or decreasing their
added values?
Changing the rules
Questions to ask are:
• Which rules are helping you? Which ones are hurting you? Rules can be for pricing,
advertising, product variety, satisfaction, etc.
• What kinds of contracts are you willing to write with your buyers and suppliers? Do
you want Match Competition Clauses? What does this do for you?
• Do you have the power to change the rules? Does someone else have the power to
overturn them?
• Can you signal your commitment credibly
23
Changing tactics
Questions to ask are:
• How do other players perceive the game? How do these perceptions affect the play of the game?
• Which perception do you want to keep, which to change?
• Do you want the game to be transparent or opaque? When do you want to send signals that benefit
you? When do you want to preserve the fog?
• To establish credibility (clear the fog)
– Accept a pay-for-performance contract
– Offer guarantees or advertise
– Ask others to demonstrate their credibility to you
• To preserve the fog
– Create complexity (long distance calling rates)
– Bluff: Ask yourself whether you will be believed and under what circumstances
– Ask what others stand to gain by preserving the fog, and what they could be bluffing about
Changing tactics
• Competitive stances that can be used to clear / add to the fog

one, and identify the forces that will determine whether that scenario will happen.

Rubbermaid’s growth strategy
Objectives for the 1990s
1. Corporate objective is to increase sales, earnings, and EPS 15% a year, while achieving a 20% return
on shareholders’ equity
2. Pay approx. 30% of current year earnings as dividends to shareholders while using the remainder to
fund future growth
3. Each year, 30% of sales are projected to come from new products introduced over the past 5 years. It is
planned to enter an entirely new market every 12 to 18 months
4. The objective for customers and consumers is to offer the best value possible. Highest quality
products at a reasonable price, a continuous flow of new products, and exceptional service to
customers
5. Treat all constituents fairly and consider the interests of associates as individuals
6. Aim to be an environmentally responsible corporate citizen
Rubbermaid’s growth strategy
• Incremental growth
• Focus on growth within the company’s businesses that was responsive to customer needs and in turn,
provided value to these customers
• Leap growth
• High visibility and high vulnerability
• Win big or lose big
33
Rubbermaid’s incremental growth strategy
• To increase the value of Rubbermaid’s existing products. The key to this growth area was in
providing value to dealers, distributors, and consumers. The key to value is providing quality, low
cost and service

Growth markets
• Share gains are easier. Due to
• Gaps or undeveloped segments in the market
• Lower risk of retaliation from share leader given growth
» Problem: Leader has higher expectations given growth
• Share gains are worth more
• Based on the expectation that earnings produced by each share point expands as market
expands. This depends critically upon
» Changes in technology and other success factors
» Competitive structure (large number of new entrants: PC)
» Market fragmentation
• Price competition less intense?
• Early entry necessary to maintain technical expertise
35
Marketing strategies for mature markets
Maintain current market share
• Maximize flow of profits over the remaining life which (could be several
decades)
• Need to maintain repeat purchases via customer satisfaction
• For large players
– Use fortress defense to
» improve customer satisfaction and loyalty
» encourage and simplify repeat purchasing
– Expand product line or launch flanker brands
• For small players
– Avoid prolonged direct confrontation with the “big guys”
– Niche strategy
Extend volume growth....(later)
Marketing strategies for mature markets
Extend volume growth
• Sales depend upon
(1) Number of persons buying product
(2) Number of units purchased per person
(3) How often the product is purchased
• So, one of the following strategies can be used
– Increased penetration strategy
– Increased frequency of use
– Wider variety of uses
• Market expansion strategy
– Underdeveloped domestic markets (BDI / CDI analysis)
– New customer or application segments
– Produce private labels
– Global expansion via sequential strategies
36
Marketing strategies for mature markets
• Assess the relative attractiveness of declining markets
• Conditions of demand
– speed of decline, certainty of decline, existence of pockets of enduring demand,
extent of product differentiation in market, price stability
• Exit barriers
– reinvestment requirements, amount of excess capacity, age of assets, resale
market for assets, extent of facilities shares with other SBUs, extent of vertical
integration, number of single product competitors
• Intensity of future competitive rivalry
– bargaining power of customers, customer switching costs, diseconomies of scale
Marketing strategies for mature markets....
• Divestment or liquidation
• Strategies for remaining competitors
• Harvesting
• Maintenance
• Profitable survivor
• Niche
37
Problem
• Not easy to tell when a market has reached maturity
• Variations in brands, marketing programs, and customer groups can mean that
different brands and segments reach maturity at different times
• Industry stability also affected by threats and opportunities
• Customer preferences can shift
• Product substitutes may appear
• Raw material costs may increase
• Changes in government regulation
• Entry of low-cost foreign producers
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Product improvements
• Process technology improvements
• Other environmental factors
Strategic issues
• Shakeout
• declining growth rate
• potential for overestimating future demand, hence over capacity
• competition intensifies as volume increases needed to cover fixed costs
• weaker businesses fail, withdraw or acquired
• Maturity
• volume stabilizes
• replacement sales dominate
• continued satisfaction and loyalty of existing customers key
• not all segments and all brands reach maturity simultaneously
• possibility of extending life via new uses, applications or creative marketing
• Decline
• divest, liquidate or hang-on?
• consolidation
38
Shakeout
• Excess capacity
• More intense competition
• Difficulty in maintaining differentiation
• Distribution problems
• Pressures on prices and profits
Strategic traps during shakeout
• Failure to recognize events signaling the beginning of a shakeout
...hence optimistic forecasts
• Stuck without a clear strategic advantage during shakeout
• Failure to recognize declining importance of product differentiation and increasing
importance of price and / or service
• Giving up market share in favor of short term profits
...hence priced out of the market
39
Strategies to beat the commodity magnet
• Pro-active strategies
• Value-added strategy
• Process innovation strategy
• Reactive strategies
• Market focus strategy
• Service innovation strategy
• Demand side: Value added & Market focus
• Supply side: Process innovation & Service innovation
International Marketing Strategy
• Strategic Alliances
• Global Companies
– International Firm
• Take our domestic practices overseas
– Multinational firm
• Customize strategies to each market
– Global firm
• Standardize strategy globally
40
Global Market Entry Strategies
• Exporting
• Licensing
• Joint Venture
• Direct Investment
International Environment Trends
• Political: stability, sentiment
• Regulatory: trade regulations, tariffs, quotas
• Economic: exchange rates
• Social and Cultural: ethnocentrism
