  1. Detail Porter’s Five Forces framework with a graphic representation, like Figure 3.3, (p.65), and a written explanation in relation to the Five Forces for both industries. 
  2. Use the results from Porter’s Five Forces framework to explain the reasons why profitability is what it is in the two different industries expressed as high, intermediate, or low. 
  3. Explain the structural features of that industry that generate either high or low profitability.      
  4. How are structural changes likely to impact competition and profitability in these industries? Is this industry attractive for investment? Why or why not?

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be 4 to 5 pages in length, which does not include the required title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements. 
  • Use  APA style guidelines.
  • Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more.
  • It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments into the Turnitin Originality Check before submitting it to your instructor for grading. If you are unsure how to submit an assignment into the Originality Check tool, review the Turnitin Originality Check—Student Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Perform a Five Forces Analysis to understand why the industry’s current level of profitability is what it is
Identify the changes in industry structure that are likely to occur over the next few years. E.g.
Is new entry likely?
Will concentration increase as a result of mergers and acquisitions?
Will additions to industry capacity outpace the growth in demand?
Will innovation create new substitutes?
Use the Five Forces Framework to predict the impact of these structural changes on competition and profitability

APPLYING INDUSTRY ANALYSIS TO FORECAST INDUSTRY PROFITABILITY

Strategies to Improve Industry Profitability
Which of the structural variables that are depressing profitability can we change by individual or collective strategies?
Strategic Positioning
Once we know which structural features of the industry support profitability and which depress profitability, we can choose a favorable positioning within the industry.

What industry is Ferrari in?
The Motor Vehicle industry (SIC 371)
The Automobile industry (SIC 3712)
The sports car industry
Is its industry global, regional (Europe) or national (Italy)?
Key criterion: SUBSTITUTABILITY
On the demand side : are buyers willing to substitute between types of cars and across countries
On the supply side : are manufacturers able to switch production between types of cars and across countries
We may need to draw industry boundaries differently for different types of decision

WHAT DO CUSTOMERS WANT? HOW FIRMS SURVIVE COMPETITION? KEY SUCCESS FACTORS
Steel Low price
Product consistency
Reliability of supply
Specific technical specifications for special steels Strong price competition and cyclical demand require low costs and financial strength Cost efficiency requires either large plants in low-cost locations, or hi-tech, flexible, mini-mills close to customers
Quality and service differentiation
Fashion clothing Demand segmented by garment type, style, quality, color
Price premium for brand, style, exclusivity, and quality
Mass market highly price sensitive Intensely competitive due to low entry barriers, low seller concentration, and strong retail buying power
Differentiation can yield substantial price premium, but imitation rapid Combining differentiation with low-costs
Key differentiation variables: design, speedy to fashion trends, brand reputation, quality
Cost efficiency requires low labor costs
Super-markets Low prices
Convenient location
Wide product range adapted to local tastes
Fresh produce, good service, pleasant ambience, easy parking Markets localized
Intensity of price competition depends on number and proximity of competitors
Bargaining power essential to low input costs Low-costs require operational efficiency, efficient supply chain, buying power, low wage costs.
Differentiation requires wide product range (hence, large stores), convenient location, easy parking

Porter framework assumes:
industry structure drives competitive behavior
Industry structure is (fairly) stable.
But, competition also changes industry structure:
Schumpeterian Competition: A “perennial gale of creative destruction” –market leaders overthrown by innovation
Hypercompetition: “intense and rapid competitive moves…. continuously creating new competitive advantages and destroying existing competitive advantages”

In some industries, the notion of “industry attractiveness” is meaningless because one firm takes all the industry’s profits and other firms earn little or no profit
These “winner-take-all” industries tend to be those with extreme scale economies (e.g. search engines) or network externalities (online auction sites, social networks)

A business ecosystem is the “community of organizations, institutions, and individuals that impact the enterprise”

BEYOND THE 5-FORCES

Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Business Ecosystems: Managing Value Migration
Change within a business ecosystem causes value to migrate between firms and groups of firms
A firm can influence value migration within a business ecosystem in order to increase its share of value within the system. E.g. by becoming a “guardian of quality”, becoming irreplaceable, exploiting changing customer needs, or reconfiguring the value chain.

BEYOND THE 5-FORCES
Using Business Models to Manage the Ecosystem
A business model is a simplified description of a business that specifies the core logic for creating value
Business models are useful for developing strategies that can exploit the opportunities available in complex business ecosystems
The Business Model Canvas is a graphical tool for designing business models:
THE BUSINESS
MODEL CANVAS

Frames strategic decisions as interactions between competitors
Predicts outcomes of competitive situations involving a few,
evenly-matched players
Provides key insights into the nature and determinants of interactions
among competitors. E.g.:
Competition and Cooperation—Game theory can show conditions
where cooperation more advantageous than competition
Deterrence—changing the payoffs in the game in order to deter
a competitor from certain actions
Commitment—irrevocable deployments of resources that
give creditability to threats
Signaling—communication to influence a competitor’s decision
Problems of game theory:
Able to explain past competitive behavior—weak in predicting future behavior.
Lack of an integrated general theory— Many different models; outcomes highly
sensitive to small changes in assumptions

Conventional industry analysis is limited to the extent that:
Industry membership is a minor influence on firm profitability
It assumes industry structure is stable—the competitive process can transform industry structures
In “winner-take-all” industries, the notion of industry attractiveness is meaningless
We can extend our analysis of industry and competition to take account of:
complementary products
platform-based competition
business ecosystems
Competitive interactions between close rivals can be analyzed:
game theory
competitor analysis—which is less formal than game theory, but can help us to understand competitors and predict their behavior
Segmentation analysis and strategic group analysis allows us to understand industries at a more detailed level
