2.2 Industry Analysis - Porter’s 5 Forces Analysis Threat of Substitutes Bicycles and services from unknown manufacturers can provide huge substitution threats. Just as alarming for bicycle manufacturers is the internet: it is developing as an excellent medium for cheap marketing services. The price that consumer are willing to pay for a product is depends the quantity and the availability of substitute products.

When capital markets are enables to offer funds, increase the risk of competitive entrants. The industry will becomes a magnet to new if a firm have a very high profit. Unless got way we can solve this problem if not the competition and competitor will increase. Firms in an industry try to keep the new entrants low by barriers to entry, first is economies of scale. An economy of scale is when an industry is characterized by large economies of scale for new firms to enter and participate, if they are willing to accept a cost disadvantage. Besides that, product differentiation is one of the threats of new entrants. Starting a new business we need to use a lot of money for advertising to attract customer, but we have to create our new things that cannot found in others competitors. For non-traditional barriers to entry, we have unique business model.

If a suppliers they decrease the quality of components, the quality of the finished product will slow-down or suffer so that manufacturer will lower its price or loses. Switch costs and supplier concentration, we need to have constant suppliers and we did not change any suppliers so that we no need to face any problem about switching cost. If the switching costs are high, fewer buyers will change the suppliers because of switching costs. Indeed, without top quality technologies, organizations like LEAFXPRO Bicycles would not possess the capability to build innovative bicycles that are able to surpass

Moreover, C being the least price sensitive, it would be the most willing segment to pay the premium for the superior product performance. At the beginning of the simulation, Minnesota Micromotors’s market share for this segment was just 4% - there was a huge potential for growth. Moreover, Segment C consistently had the highest gross margin per unit ($58.36 for 2012 Q3) which indicated that Segment C could be the most profit generating customers for Minnesota Micromotors. Improved efficiency in my sales salesforce and effective marketing communications were very critical in communicating Minnesota Micromotors motors’ value to customers, and formed the key differentiators in managing Minnesota Micromotors’s dual sales force and distribution channels – hence I planned to invest adequately in the “Integrated marketing communication and training” in every quarter. Also, having the market ‘intel’ and customer feedback were ever critical to make any changes to pricing, budget and sales force allocation – hence I always invested on Market
Competition has an importance role to play in this. It has always been evident that industries which have greater competition experience higher productivity growth. It can be seen that competition leads to an increase in the allocative efficiency of the firms by make the entry of new efficient firms in the market easy, on the expense of the less efficient firms (exiting the market). Competition in the market will also lead to innovation. The firms which are rivals to each other will try to improve their market share by introducing different types of products, which will be a work of
Industrial category- whereas its main competition, Makita, dominates the category. Makita’s dominance in regards to their sales, despite owning equal shelf spaces with B&D, is mainly dependent on the way they appeal to the consumers in the category. For instance, they target tradesmen specifically and they have monopoly in membership club. Additionally, they provide a good baseline option in all major categories. Although it might be expected for the two Professional categories- Industrial and Tradesmen- to have similar shares, they differ to large extent with regards to the different purchasing habits of the end users, a.k.a.
Competitive Forces Beginning with, the first element is the threat of new entrant is at the lower risk for Cap Gemini. IT Companies such as Accenture, Deloitte, and Cognizant are in the market serving the clients with various products differentiation. Operating in the information technology service industry, one requires more capital to invest in new ventures. The newer technology helps the new niche venture to kick start without being dependent on size or experience. High sunk cost from product differentiation limits the new competition from entering the industry which lowers the economies of scale.
In spite of that, barriers to entry in an oligopoly market are high. The prime barriers are economies of scale, access to costly and sophisticated technology, patents and tactical measures by existing dominating firms devised to hinder new firms from entering the market. In addition, other sources of barriers include government regulation favoring incumbent firms making it difficult for nascent firms to

Another aspect of Porter’s Five Forces model is the threat of substitution, or how easy it would be for another company to take over the present business by innovating in some way. The threat of substitution is low but still present in the trucking industry. Due to the fact that a large majority of freight moved in the United States is moved by truck, it would be difficult to shift to a different mode of transportation. However, there are still other methods of travel that can be used, for example freight can be moved by airplane or by train within the United States. These alternative modes of transportation tend to be more expensive though, meaning it makes more sense for a company to simply purchase the services of a trucking company.
That means each bicycle would have $6 in labor cost added to the $25 in material and energy cost. The total cost to produce would be $31. If sold for $50 the profit is $19 per bicycle. Therefore Eastern Leisureland has a comparative advantage when producing

PORTERS FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS - PHARMA INDUSTRY Using Porter's Five Forces we can analyse the scope of the pharmaceutical industry. It looks into five factors namely, competitive rivalry, threat of new entrants, threat of substitute products, bargaining power of suppliers and bargaining power of customers. " Competitive rivalry: The pharmaceutical industry is highly fragmented with almost 3,000 pharma companies and 10,500 manufacturing units. Due to increasing demand of high-quality drugs, low-to-moderate entry barrier to the new entrant, the presence of a number of large and small firm this market is highly competitive.
