E-commerce Retail: The Vision
1.Reduced search and transaction costs; customers able
to find lowest prices
2.Lowered market entry costs, lower operating costs,
higher efficiency
3.Traditional physical store merchants forced out of
business
4.Some traditional offline industries would be
disintermediated
SFew of these assumptions were correct—structure
of retail marketplace has not been revolutionized
SInternet has created new venues for multi-channel
firms and supported a few pure-play merchants

Analyzing the Viability of
Online Firms

iAbility of firms to survive as profitable business
firms during specified period (i.e., 1–3 years)
STwo business analysis approaches:
iStrategic analysis
SFocuses on both industry as a whole and firm itself
iFinancial analysis
SHow firm is performing

10
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Slide 11-19
Strategic Analysis Factors
SKey industry strategic factors
iBarriers to entry – Can new entrants be barred from entering industry
through high capital costs?
iPower of suppliers – Can suppliers dictate high prices to the industry
or can vendors bargain effectively for lower prices? Have firms
achieved enough scale to bargain for lower prices from suppliers?
iPower of customers – Can customers choose from many competing
suppliers and thus challenge high prices and high margins?
iExistence of substitute products – Can functionality of product or
service be obtained from alternative channels or competing products
in different industries?
iIndustry value chain – Is chain of production and distribution in
industry changing in ways that benefit or harm the firm?
iNature of intra-industry competition – Is basis of competition within
industry based on differentiated products and services price scope of
offerings or focus
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Slide 11-20
Strategic Analysis Factors
SFirm-specific factors
iFirm value chain – Has the firm adopted business processes and
methods of operation that allow it to achieve the most efficient
operations in its industry?
iCore competencies – Does the firm have unique competencies and
skills that can’t be easily duplicated by other firms?
iSynergies – Does the firm have access to competencies and assets of
related firms either owned outright or through strategic partnerships
and alliances?
iTechnology – Has the firm developed proprietary technologies that
allow it to scale with demand? Has the firm developed the operational
technologies (CRM, fulfillment, SCM, inventory control) to survive?
iSocial and legal challenges – Has the firm put in place policies to
address consumer trust issues (privacy and security of personal info)?
Is the firm the subject of lawsuits challenging its business model?

Analyzing the Viability of Online Firms:
Financial Analysis
SStrategic analysis helps us understand
the competitive situation of the firm
SFinancial analysis helps us understand
how a firm is performing
iIncludes two main parts:
SStatement of Operations: Tells us how much income
or loss a firm is achieving based on current sales and
costs
SBalance sheet: Provides a financial snapshot of a
company’s assets and liabilities
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Slide 11-22
Financial Analysis Factors
SStatements of Operations
iRevenues : Growing and at what rate?
iCost of sales (product costs + related costs): Compared to
revenues; the lower the cost of sales, the higher the gross
profit
iGross margin: tells if the firm is gaining or losing market
power; (Gross profit)/(net sales revenue)
iOperating expenses (cost of marketing, technology, admin
overhead, and intangibles like stock compensation &
amortization)
iOperating margin: tells if firm’s current operations are
covering its operating expenses, not incl interest expenses
and other non-operating expenses; (operating income or
loss)/(net sales revenue)
iNet margin: tells % of its gross sales revenue firm is able to
retain after all expenses are deducted; (Net income or
loss)/(net sales revenue)

12
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Slide 11-23
Financial Analysis Factors
SBalance sheet
iAssets, current assets – cash, securities, accounts
receivable, inventory, other investments able to be
converted to cash within 1 year
iLiabilities – outstanding obligations of the firm
iCurrent liabilities – debts due within 1 year
iLong-term debt – debts not due until after 1 year or
more
iWorking capital – provides short-term financial health;
(current assets – current liabilities)

new channel
iConfronts many virtual merchant competitions
SNo costs in building and maintaining physical stores, but large
costs in building and maintaining a Web site, order fulfillment
infrastructure, and developing brand name

SGross margins (retail price of goods – cost of goods) are low
SHence, must achieve highly effective operations to preserve a

Multi-channel Merchants: Bricks-and-
clicks
SCompanies with physical stores as primary retail channel,
but also online offerings
Se.g. Wal-Mart, J.C. Penney, Sears
SFace high costs of physical buildings and large sales staffs
SAdvantages: brand name, national customer base,
warehouses, large-scale, trained staff
SLow customer acquisition costs
SChallenges: coordinating prices across channels and
handling returns of Web purchases at retail outlets,
leveraging their strengths and assets to the Web, building
a credible Web site, hiring new skilled staff, building rapid
response order entry and fulfillment systems
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Slide 11-30

operation as largest retail channel, but also have online
capabilities
Se.g. Lands’ End, L.L. Bean, Victoria’s Secret
SFace very high costs for printing and mailing millions of
catalogs each year with 30-second half-life after customer
received them
SHighest margins in retail sector due to very efficient
operations with centralized fulfillment and call centers,
extraordinary service, excellent partnership with package
delivery firms (FedEx and UPS)

16
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Slide 11-31
Manufacturer-direct
SSingle or multi-channel manufacturers who sell directly
online to consumers without intervention of retailers
Se.g. Dell, HP, Gateway, IBM, Apple
SFace channel conflict challenges when physical retailers of
products must compete on price and currency of
inventory directly against the manufacturer
SAdvantages: established national brand name, existing
large customer base, lower cost structure than catalog
merchants since they are manufacturer of goods and
don’t pay profit to anyone else, therefore, have higher
margins
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Slide 11-32
Common Themes in Online Retailing
SOnline retail fastest growing channel on revenue basis
SHowever, profits for startup ventures have been difficult to
achieve due to:
iLowered prices below cost of goods and operations,
iFailed to develop efficient business processes,
iSpent too much on customer acquisition and marketing
SDisintermediation has not occurred since first-mover, online
merchants failed to achieve profitability and depleted venture
capital funds. Also traditional retailers are fast followers.
SEstablished merchants need to create integrated shopping
experience to succeed online
SGrowth of online specialty merchants selling high-end,
fashionable and luxury goods, e.g. Blue Nile, Tiffany, Armani,
BestBuy.com, Gap.com, OfficeDepot.com.
SExtraordinary growth of social, local, and mobile e-commerce
