The five competitive forces form Michael Porter:
↓Potential entrants
Suppliers > industry competitors < buyers
↑substitutes
A successful firm has to build and maintain its competitive advantage in relation to
these forces.
Porter says that competitive advantage can be based on:
· Cost leadership= offering products or services at the lowest cost; this is
one strategy to adopt in volume industries with competitors producing
large numbers of similar products.
· Differentiation= offering product or services that give added-value in terms
of quality or service compared to competitors.
· Focus= combining elements of the above two strategies to concentrate on
a niche - a specific part of the market with particular needs.
