If you feel domestic pressure in your home market, you will be forced to innovate. To meet the
demand and competition at home. Porter said that competition was good.
Porter focuses on domestic, he doesn’t take into account importing, like importing employees.
2. Demand conditions
• Nature of home-market demand
• Industry’s product

How does it all affect global competitiveness?
There are two aspects of demand conditions:
Size: how much demand?
How do you measure the size of demand?
- Demand of similar products
- Use a proxy; complementary products
- Look at population group you are going for

,The five forces
1. The Threat of New Entrants:
• Economies of scale
• Product differentiation
• Capital requirements
• Switching costs
• Access to distribution channels
• Cost disadvantages independent of scale
2. The Bargaining Power of Buyers:
• Concentrated or large volume purchases (relative to sales)
• Undifferentiated products
• Low switching costs
• Threat of backward integration
• Low profit
3. The Bargaining Power of Suppliers:
• Industry dominated by few suppliers
• Suppliers sell to several industries
• Suppliers’ input is critical to buyer’s business
• Differentiated products
• Threat of forward integration
4. The Threat of Substitute Products and Services
5. The Intensity of Rivalry among Competitors in an Industry :
• Numerous or equally balanced rivals
• Slow industry growth
• High fixed or storage costs
• Lack of differentiation or switching costs
• High exit barriers
You can combine different frameworks, but you should always include competition in your analysis.
How many competitors do you have and how competitive are they.
High exit barriers social pressure government does not want the company to exit because of a
loss of jobs.
