5. Acquisition is essential to growth

6. People make a difference

7. No substitute for quality

7 Characteristics of Most Competitive U.S. Firms:

The Five-Forces Model of Competition

Steps to Determine if an Acceptable Profit Can Be Earned

1. Identify key aspects or elements of each competitive force

2. Evaluate how strong and important each element is for the firm

3. Decide whether the collective strength of the elements is worth the firm entering or staying in the industry

The Five-Forces Model

Most powerful of the five forces Focus on competitive advantage of

strategies

Rivalry Among Competing Firms

Barriers to entry are important Quality, pricing, and marketing can

overcome barriers

Potential Entry of New Competitors

Pressures increase when consumers’ switching costs decrease

Firm’s plans for increased capacity & market penetration

Potential Development of Substitute Products

Large number of suppliers & few substitutes affects intensity of competition

Backward integration can gain control or ownership of suppliers

Bargaining Power of Suppliers

Customers concentrated or buying in volume affects intensity of competition

Consumer power is higher where products are standard or undifferentiated

Bargaining Power of Consumers

Conditions Where Consumers GainBargaining Power

If they can inexpensively switch If they are particularly important If sellers are struggling in the face of falling

consumer demand If they are informed about sellers’ products,

prices, and costs If they have discretion in whether and when

they purchase the product

Forecasting Tools and Techniques

Forecasts are educated assumptions about future trends and events Quantitative techniques – most appropriate when

historical data is available and there is a constant relationship

Qualitative techniques

The Global Challenge

Faced by U.S. Firms –

•Gain & maintain exports to other nations

•Defend domestic markets against imported goods

Global PerspectiveChina’s Automobile Producers Heading to the United States in 2008 China’s auto exports doubled in 2006 China produces more cars than Germany and is the

world’s third largest automobile producer Changfeng Group first Chinese automaker in the Detroit

Auto Show http://www.cfmotors.com/doce/product/product.asp

Simultaneously globally competitive & nationally responsive

Multinational Corporations (MNCs)

Worldwide integration of:

Strategy formulation

Strategy implementation

Strategy evaluation

Globalization

Summarize & Evaluate

5 Steps (Page 93-95)

1. List key external factors10-20 (balanced 5&5 10&10)Opportunities then threats

Assign weights from 0.0 to 1.0 based on importanceSum of all weights across all factors = 1

Assign a rating from 1 to 4 for all factors where4 = the firm’s response is superior3 = the firm’s response is above avg2 = the firm’s response is average1 = the firm’s response is poor

1. Multiply the rating by the weight2. Sum the weighted scores

Total weighted score of 4.0 Organization response is outstanding to threats

and weaknesses

Industry Analysis EFE

Total weighted score of 1.0 Firm’s strategies not capitalizing on opportunities

or avoiding threats

Industry Analysis EFE

Understanding the factors used in the EFE Matrix is more important than the actual weights and ratings assigned.

Industry Analysis: Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM)

Identifies firm’s major competitors and their strengths & weaknesses in relation to a sample firm’s strategic positions

Steps to a CPM

Identify Critical Success Factors (CSF) Broad issues Internal and external (5 of each is a good mix)

Assign a weight to each CSF Must add up to 1

Assign a rating for your firm and each of your competitors 4 = major strength 3 = minor strength 2 = minor weakness 1 = major weakness

Multiply weight by rating Sum the weighted ratings and compare

Industry Analysis CPM

Just because one firm receives a 3.2 rating and another receives a 2.8 rating, it does not follow that the first firm is 20 percent better than the second.
