5) THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES HIGH
In detail given below:-
NEW ENTRANTS
There are many barriers to entry preventing new entrants from capturing significant market
share. Todays athletic shoes are highly technical. An extremely large capital investment is
required for new firms to open athletic shoe factories and conduct research and design to create a
popular athletic shoe. The aggressive marketing campaigns turn their products into household
7/30/2019 Strategic Mgmt- Reebok
17/23
17
names making it arduous for new firms to compete. Athletic shoe manufacturers greatly attempt
to differentiate their products from all shoe manufacturers.
If they are a startup firm, it is extremely difficult to get shelf space at major shoe retailers. If the
firm is currently in the dress shoe industry, and is entering the athletic shoe industry, they may
use their existing connections to easily access athletic shoe distribution channels. Switching costs
are very low for the athletic shoe industry.
RIVALRY AMONGST EXISTING FIRMS
In the athletic shoe industry, corporations are mutually dependent. A competitive move by one
firm directly effects competitors, forcing retaliation or counter efforts. For example, Reeboks
expansion of the womens walking shoe, inspired other firms to follow.
The number of competitors is stable, partially due to high entry barriers. This adds to the rivalry
among existing firms. Manufacturers watch each other carefully and make appropriate
countermoves to match a competitors move.
The rate of industry growth is stable, but the quest for global market share is eminent. This
increases global rivalry. Product characteristics are related to market share. Name recognition
alone sells athletic shoes. The larger the market share, the greater advertising capabilities and
hence increased name recognition.
7/30/2019 Strategic Mgmt- Reebok
18/23

Capacity has minimal impact on rivalry, because most firms have means to manufacture the
demanded amount of athletic shoes. This ability to meet demand reduces market because most
firms overproduce and drive down the selling price.
Low exit barriers and diversity among competitors has minimal impact on profit potential. If the
athletic shoe industry becomes too unprofitable, firms could switch to other shoe markets.
Additionally, diversity among firms is small because every firm follows one another. The rivalry
among existing firms is high where weak firms are easily acquired by fierce competitors. This
may have a high impact on profit potential.
BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS
Buyers have high switching costs in regards to opportunity cost. If an athletic shoe retailer
decided to drop one of the popular athletic shoe brands, their sales would fall due to high
consumer brand loyalty. Most buyers have a medium profit margin so price sensitivity of buyers
is moderate. In the athletic shoe industry, price increases pass to the consumers.The overall
impact from buyers bargaining power to profit potential is moderate.
BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS
Athletic shoes are manufactured primarily from raw materials including rubber, leather and
nylon. These materials could be classified as commodities, where the manufacturing process
7/30/2019 Strategic Mgmt- Reebok
19/23
19
adds to their value. For this reason, the suppliers have limited bargaining power, and little impact
on profit potential.
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES
Athletic shoes are designed to improve comfort and personal safety during periods of increased
movement. Substitutes for athletic shoes are using other forms of shoes, or going barefoot(rural
areas). A large population of athletic shoe consumers wear athletic shoes strictly because they
are comfortable. Comfortable dress shoes or sandals are equally interchangeable with minimal
switching costs. If the athletic shoe is used for sports, then there are relatively few substitutes.
Given these reasons, the threat of substitute products is moderate and the impact to profit
potential is moderate to high.
