Industry correct answers a group of incumbent companies that face more or less the same set of
suppliers and buyers with similar products and services

Industry analysis correct answers identifies an industry's profit potential; derives implications for
firm's strategic position

Porter's Five Forces correct answers A framework considering the interplay between (1) the
intensity of rivalry among existing competitors, (2) the threat of new entrants, (3) the threat of
substitute goods or services, (4) the bargaining power of buyers, and (5) the bargaining power of
suppliers.

- An attractive industry has:
- weaker five forces, higher profit potential... makes competitive adv easier

- An unattractive industry has:
- stronger five forces, lower profit potential... makes comp adv. harder

- Looks at industry at a certain point; static

Force 1: Threat of Entry correct answers - New Entrants lower industry profit potential (Lower
prices, spend more to satisfy existing customers)

Entry Barriers:
- Economies of scale: mass producing ultimately lowering per unit cost... leads to larger output
- Network Effects: system or product's value increases the more you use it
- Customer Switching costs: harder to get customers if switching costs are high
- Capital requirements: high cap. rqmts. make industry unattractive
- Advantages independent of size: patents, location, brand loyalty
- Government policy: can make it easier or harder to enter... Easier: think Anti-trust law,,,
Harder: ie. restricting uber so taxis can still profit
- Credible threat of retaliation: basically a promise to fight against new entrants

Force 2: Power of Suppliers correct answers - Powerful suppliers deduce industry profit potential
- They demand higher prices for their inputs (increasing incumbents' product costs) or they
reduce quality
- All dependent on if they have bargaining power

Signs of powerful suppliers:
- Supplier's industry is smaller/more concentrated
- Supplier is not dependent on incumbent's industry alone
- Incumbents face high supplier switching costs
- Supplier's products are differentiated
