I. Porter’s Five Forces• Threat of New Entrants• Barriers to entry
– Economies of scale: need larger scale for new entrants, SCG, TPI
– Product differentiation: if no difference should invest in marketing
– Capital requirements: stock market
– Switching costs: difficulty in switching the product, Window
– Access to distribution channels: existing firms are better
– Cost disadvantages for new entrants: existing firms have advantages on patent, learning curve, raw material, and location.
– Government policy: limited by licensing in some industries (banking, fisheries)
MIB, BBA 2010 15
I. Porter’s Five Forces• Rivalry Among Existing Firms
– Number of competitors– Rate of industry growth:
bigger pie with higher growth
– Product or service characteristics: price war for commodity products
– Amount of fixed costs and exit costs: high competition in high fixed and exit costs, pharmaceutical industry
– Capacity: excess supply if full capacity, oil, egg
– Diversity of rivals
MIB, BBA 2010 16
I. Porter’s Five Forces
• Threat of Substitute Products or Services
• Bargaining Power of Buyers
• Bargaining Power of Suppliers
• Relative Power of Other Stakeholders
MIB, BBA 2010 17
I. Porter’s Five Forces• Threat of Substitute: different
appearance and characteristics but can satisfy the same need• Price ceiling of a product is the
switching price to a substitute product.
• Bargaining Power of Buyers: large buyers, many alternative suppliers, backward integration capability, low switching cost, low profit margin, unimportance to final product
• Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Oligopoly, high switching cost, no substitute, forward integration capability
• Relative Power of Other Stakeholders
MIB, BBA 2010 18
II. Industry Life Cycle
• What would happen in each phase?– Number of the
companies– Size of the companies– Strategy– Price
Fragmented Consolidated
MIB, BBA 2010 19
III. Strategic Groups and Types• A strategic groups
– Similar strategies– Similar resources
• Strategic types– Defender: limited product lines
and cost, focus on improving efficiency
– Prospectors: broad product lines, focus on product innovation and market opportunities
– Analyzers: operate in many market areas (stable: efficiency and variable: innovation)
– Reactors: inconsistent in strategy-structure-culture relationship
• Who’s the direct competitor?
MIB, BBA 2010 20
Strategic Factors• Apply to BBA
MIB, BBA 2010 21
EFAS and Industry Matrix• Your external analysis and position in the
industry. How your competitors respond to each factor.

Internal Scanning
Resource based approach-resources
-capabilities-competency
Business model Value chain analysis: examine the chain of
value creating activities starting
from raw materialcustomer
27
I.Resource Based Approach• Resources+capability+competencycompetitive advantage• Resources: – Tangible:
• Physical assets: plant, equipment, and location• Capital: credit rating, capital management• Technology: patent, R&D
– Intangible: employees and skills, culture, reputation, brand • Capabilities: ability to use its resources, ability to turn input
into output• Competency: cross functional integration and coordination of
capabilities, use VRIO framework to evaluate its competency– Avon: door to door selling– Wal-Mart: logistic – Oriental Hotel: customer service
MIB, BBA 2010
MIB, BBA 2010 28
I.Resource Based Approach• VRIO Framework
Value: Does it provide customer value and competitive advantage?
Rareness: Do other competitors posses it?
Imitability: Is it costly for others to imitate?
Organization: Is the firm organized to exploit the resource?
MIB, BBA 2010 29
Resource Based Approach to Strategy Analysis
• Resources+capability+competencycompetitive advantage• Match capability with resource or resource with capability• Which way is easier?
Identify resources as
strengths and weaknesses
Combine strengths into capabilities
(match capabilities with resources)
Appraise profit potential of capabilities
(build sustainable competitive
advantage or core competency)
Select strategy that best exploits
opportunities
Identify resource gaps that need to be filled
Increase StrengthDecrease Weakness
MIB, BBA 2010 30
Sustainable Competitive Advantage• Durability: depreciation rate of the firm’s resources, capabilities, or core
competencies– Examples: Intel, cassette tapecdmp3mp4
• Imitability: duplication rate by others– Transparency: understanding speed of other firms to the relationship of
resources and capabilities supporting a successful firm’s strategy– Transferability: competitors ability to get the resources and capabilities
necessary for the competitive challenge– Replicability: competitors duplication ability, the use of resources and
capabilities to imitate the firm’s success• Explicit knowledge vs. Implicit knowledge Which one is easier to copy?
MIB, BBA 2010 31
II. Business Models• How do these companies
make money in each business model?1. Customer Solutions Model:
IBM, consulting firms2. Profit Pyramid Model: GM3. Multi-Component
System/Installed Base Model: HP printer and ink cartridge, Gillette razor and blade
4. Advertising Model: news paper, dot.com
5. Switchboard Model: ebay, NY material museum
6. Time Model: SONY R&D 1st mover7. Efficiency Model: Wal-Mart, Dell 8. Blockbuster Model: movies,
pharmaceutical companies9. Profit Multiplier Model: Walt Disney10. Entrepreneurial Model: niche
market11. De Facto Standard Model: free for
basic product
• How can we use business model for our internal scanning?
• Do your competitors use the same business model?
MIB, BBA 2010 32
III. Value Chain Analysis• Value chain: • Linked set of value-creating activities
beginning with basic raw material and ending with distributors getting final goods into hands of customers
MIB, BBA 2010 33
III. Value Chain Analysis• The importance or weight of each activity(strength and weakness)
depends on the type of business.• Retail business: logistic, Pharmaceutical or electronic: R&D• How can we use value chain for our internal scanning?• Compare your value chain to the industry key success factors as well as
your competitors value chain.• Examine the company product lines for strength& weakness (divisional
structure). Synergies among product lines (economies of scope)?
MIB, BBA 2010 34
Organizational Structure• Examine the organizational structure before the value chain to see the
availability of resources and capabilities (reverse, 2nd school of thought).• How will the organizational structures be your strengths or weakness? • Specialization, control, command, decision, communication flow
MIB, BBA 2010 35
Other Internal Issues• Corporate culture: identity, commitment,
stability, and employee behavior• Marketing: positioning, segmentation,
product life cycle, marketing mix, brand• Financial: financial leverage, capital budgeting• R&D: R&D intensity(% R&D spending),patent,
publication, new product, technology transfer, technology discontinuity
• HR: teams, temporary workers, quality of life and diversity
MIB, BBA 2010 36
Mind Map & BBA Exercise• How to do the internal scanning?• How can we apply sufficiency economy philosophy with
internal scanning?• IFAS textbook example
