Introduction
•The Five Forces Model was developed by Michael E. Porter to help companies
assess the nature of an industry’s competitiveness and develop corporate
strategies accordingly.

•The strength of the five forces will determine the level of profit within an industry
that a competitor can expect to make

•Through his model, Porter classifies five main competitive forces that affect any
market and all industries. It is these forces that determine how much competition
will exist in a market and consequently the profitability and attractiveness of this
market for a company. Through sound corporate strategies, a company will aim to
shape these forces to its advantage to strengthen the organizations position in the
industry.

Introduction
•This model aimed to provide a new way to use effective strategy to identify, analyze
and manage external factors in an organization’s environment.

•Porter’s five forces model is an analysis tool that uses five industry forces to
determine the intensity of competition in an industry and its profitability level.

•An attractive market place does not mean that all companies will enjoy similar
success levels. Rather, the unique selling propositions, strategies and processes
will put one company over the other.

•The Five Forces were Porter’s conclusions on the reasons for differing levels of
competition, and hence profitability, in differing industries. They are empirically
derived, i.e. by observation of real companies in real markets, rather than the result
of economic analysis.

Competitive Rivalry within an
Industry
•This force is the major determinant on how competitive and profitable
an industry is. In competitive industry, firms have to compete
aggressively for a market share, which results in low profits. Rivalry
among competitors is intense when:

-There are many competitors
-Exit barriers are high
-Industry growth is slow or negative
-Products are not differentiated and can be easily substituted
-Competitors are of equal size
-Low customer loyalty

Competitive Rivalry within an Industry - Example
McDonald’s faces tough competition because the fast food restaurant market is already saturated.
This element of the Five Forces analysis tackles the effect of competing firms in the industry
environment. In McDonald’s case, the strong force of competitive rivalry is based on the following
external factors:

High number of firms (strong force)
High aggressiveness of firms (strong force)
Low switching costs (strong force)

The fast food restaurant industry has many firms of various sizes, such as global chains like
McDonald’s, KFC and local fast food restaurants and road side stops. Also, most medium and large
firms aggressively market their products. In addition, McDonald’s customers experience low
switching costs, which means that they can easily transfer to other restaurants. Thus, this
element of the Five Forces analysis of McDonald’s shows that competition is among the most
significant external forces on the business.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers
•Strong bargaining power allows suppliers to sell higher priced or low
quality raw materials to their buyers. This directly affects the buying
firms’ profits because it has to pay more for materials. Suppliers have
strong bargaining power when:

-There are few suppliers but many buyers
-Suppliers are large and threaten to forward integrate
-Few substitute raw materials exist
-Suppliers hold scarce resources
-Cost of switching raw materials is especially high.

Example of Suppliers also influence the competiveness of an industry
•The bargaining power of Toyota’s supplier is Weak

•Toyota has many suppliers in its automotive manufacturing sector. Resources like
metal, raw materials, leather, plastic, computers, cooling system, electrical system,
breaking system and fuel supply system are all bought from hundreds of different
suppliers and different bargaining prices distributed across the globe.

•One of the competitive advantages of Toyota is its strong relationship with the
suppliers and its efficient manner of monitoring supply chain places low
bargaining power on the suppliers.

•In addition most vehicle manufactures own many interchangeable suppliers, and
also have the ability to produce the components by their own in the short time.
Thus, the suppliers do not own the power to change the price.

Bargaining Power of Buyer
•Customers have the power to demand lower price or higher product
quality from industry producers when their bargaining power is strong.
Lower price means lower revenues for the producer, while higher quality
products usually raise production costs. Both scenarios result in lower
profits for producers. Customers exert strong bargaining power when:
- Buying in large quantities or control many access points to the final
customer
- Only few customers exist
- Switching costs to other supplier are low
- They threaten to backward integrate
- There are many substitutes
- Customers are price sensitive

Example of Bargaining power of Buyer
Depends on the marketing channel used for Coca-Cola

1.Super Markets
2.Convenience Stores
3.Soda Shop
4.Vending Machine
5.Restaurant and Food stores

Bargaining power of buyer is high for fountain supermarkets and mass
merchandising because of the low profitability and strong negotiation
power of retail channels but for vending machine bargaining power is
non-existing caused by high profitability.

Threat of New Entrants
•This force determines how easy (or not) it is to enter a particular
industry. If an industry is profitable and there are few barriers to enter,
rivalry soon intensifies. When more organizations compete for the same
market share, profits start to fall. It is essential for existing organizations
to create high barriers to enter to deter new entrants. Threat of new
entrants is high when:
-Low amount of capital is required to enter a market
-Existing companies can do little to retaliate
-Existing firms do not possess patents, trademarks or do not have
established brand reputation
-There is no government regulation
-There is low customer loyalty
-Products are nearly identical
-Economies of scale can be easily achieved

Example of Threat of New Entrant – Entry of Reliance
JIO Telecommunications
1.Jio has grown at a scorching pace:-the network, which has been adding 1-
1.2 million subscribers a day, will likely have 25 million 4G customers.
2.Jio has set off a fierce mobile tariff war in the country:
3.Jio is hurting the balance sheets of other telecom companies: Airtel saw a
4.9% decline in its Q2 profit following the operator slashing data tariffs.
4.Jio is forcing the other players to join forces:-Vodafone and Idea Merger
5.Jio could impact the online content market in India:-The Jio suite offers
more than 300 live streaming TV channels and hundreds of music albums
and movies. This forces other incumbents to up their game in the online
video streaming space.

•This force is especially threatening when buyers can easily find substitute
products with attractive prices or better quality and when buyers can switch
from one product or service to another with little cost. For example, to switch
from coffee to tea doesn’t cost anything, unlike switching from car to bicycle.

•Determining Factors :-
First, if the consumer’s switching costs are low
Second, if the substitute product is cheaper than the industry’s product
Third, if the substitute product is of equal or superior quality compared to the
industry’s product, the threat of substitutes is high
Fourth, if the functions, attributes, or performance of the substitute product are
equal or superior to the industry’s product
Threat of Substitutes

•EXAMPLE – THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY
•From the point of view of airlines themselves, the flying business is very competitive.
There are hundreds of airlines all trying to get a bigger piece of the pie. Global
recessions have also meant cost cutting exercises for most airlines in the industry and
often less travel in the part of consumers.
•Depending on the nature of the airline’s business, the threat of substitutes can range
from lower on the scale to mid-range.
•For domestic or regional airlines or routes, there is always the option of taking a car,
bus or train. It may take longer but often this consideration is outweighed by the cost
advantages of substitute methods
•There is also no switching cost to deal with.
•In the case of international airlines, the threat of substitutes is almost non-existent
•On longer routes, a traveler needs to take a flight with no possible alternates
•Threat here is from competitors who may offer better rewards, better prices or a better
flying experience
•There is also somewhat of a switching cost

Strategies Adopted by the Auto Industry based on the
Analysis
•Capacity addition
Considering low cost of production, prominent auto companies are increasing their
production capacity in order to capture a dominant share in Indian automobile
industry.
Most of the automobile companies are eyeing India as an outsourcing hub.
With the total investment of around USD163.7 million, Honda Motorcycle &
Scooter India expanded its production of Activa in 3 variants at Ahmedabad plant.
Launch of new models
In 2015-16, few of the newly launched cars were Volkswagen Ameo, Mahindra e-
Verito, Toyota Land Cruiser 200, Maruti Baleno, Honda BR-V, Tata Tiago, Toyota
Innova Crysta & Maruti Ciaz & under premium range Audi Q7, Audi S5 Sportback,
Ford Mustang, Rolls-Royce Dawn & Porsche 911.
Honda is planning to introduce bigger & premium car models in 2017 to uplift its
sales & share in the market
In December 2016, Bajaj Auto launched its most powerful bike in the segment,
‘Bajaj Dominar 400’
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles India, is planning to launch its new Jeep brand Compass
by February 2017, which is going to be produced indigenously in Ranjangaon,,
Maharashtra. India will be the 4th manufacturing hub, globally, for the brand.

•Marketing & advertisement
Each & every firm is now focusing on shelling out a chunk of their
profits on advertisement
The idea is to make the customers more brand conscious &
increasing brand positioning
This is giving the firms differential advantage. Success today lies in
structuring & restructuring strategies
Catering Indian needs
India boasts a large population of middle class
Most of the firms including Ford & Volkswagen have adapted
themselves to cater to this class by dropping their traditional
structure and designs
This allows them to compete directly with domestic firms making
the sector highly competitive

How to Deal with Competition

Using The Tools
•We now understand that Porter’s five forces framework is used
to analyze industry’s competitive forces and to shape
organization’s strategy according to the results of the analysis.
But how to use this tool? We have identified the following
steps:

•Step 1. Gather the information on each of the five forces
•Step 2. Analyze the results and display them on a diagram
•Step 3. Formulate strategies based on the conclusions

Navigating the Model Development: Before, During and After
It is beneficial for a company working on a Porter’s five forces analysis to maintain
an analytical frame of mind before the process begins, during the process and
after everything has been completed. Some aspects to keep in mind are:
Before
Understand the goals
of the analysis and
expectations from it
Understand the scope
of the analysis and
who are the potential
beneficiaries
Allow
honest
session
open and
brainstorming
regarding
these questions.
During
Keep a focus on the
future
Do not focus on what
could’ve been done
better in the past, but
focus on future
improvements
Analyze positives and
negatives
Be open to new ideas
and possibilities
After
Identify lessons learnt and how
they can be used in the future
Document positives and
negatives. Identify best practices
Understand whether the analysis
had the required impact
Follow up on implementation
plans
Record information from the
analysis to be used in future
decisions
