Industry Analysis

  review Figures 3.3, p.65 from your textbook. Complete an Industry Analysis for two different industries then compare these industries by answering the following questions.

  1. Detail Porter’s Five Forces framework with a graphic representation, like Figure 3.3, (p.65), and a written explanation in relation to the Five Forces for both industries. 
  2. Use the results from Porter’s Five Forces framework to explain the reasons why profitability is what it is in the two different industries expressed as high, intermediate, or low. 
  3. Explain the structural features of that industry that generate either high or low profitability.      
  4. How are structural changes likely to impact competition and profitability in these industries? Is this industry attractive for investment? Why or why not?

Perform a Five Forces Analysis to understand why the industry’s current level of profitability is what it is

Identify the changes in industry structure that are likely to occur over the next few years. E.g.

Is new entry likely?

Will concentration increase as a result of mergers and acquisitions?

Will additions to industry capacity outpace the growth in demand?

Will innovation create new substitutes?

Use the Five Forces Framework to predict the impact of these structural changes on competition and profitability

APPLYING INDUSTRY ANALYSIS TO FORECAST INDUSTRY PROFITABILITY

Strategies to Improve Industry Profitability

Which of the structural variables that are depressing profitability can we change by individual or collective strategies?

Strategic Positioning

  • Once we know which structural features of the industry support profitability and which depress profitability, we can choose a favorable positioning within the industry.

Using Industry Analysis to Develop Strategy

Copyright (© 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

USING INDUSTRY ANALYSIS TO DEVELOP STRATEGY

What industry is Ferrari in?

  • The Motor Vehicle industry (SIC 371)
  • The Automobile industry (SIC 3712)
  • The sports car industry
  • Is its industry global, regional (Europe) or national (Italy)?

Key criterion: SUBSTITUTABILITY

  • On the demand side : are buyers willing to substitute between types of cars and across countries
  • On the supply side : are manufacturers able to switch production between types of cars and across countries

We may need to draw industry boundaries differently for different types of decision

WHAT DO CUSTOMERS WANT? HOW FIRMS SURVIVE COMPETITION? KEY SUCCESS FACTORS
Steel Low price Product consistency Reliability of supply Specific technical specifications for special steels Strong price competition and cyclical demand require low costs and financial strength Cost efficiency requires either large plants in low-cost locations, or hi-tech, flexible, mini-mills close to customers Quality and service differentiation
Fashion clothing Demand segmented by garment type, style, quality, color Price premium for brand, style, exclusivity, and quality Mass market highly price sensitive Intensely competitive due to low entry barriers, low seller concentration, and strong retail buying power Differentiation can yield substantial price premium, but imitation rapid Combining differentiation with low-costs Key differentiation variables: design, speedy to fashion trends, brand reputation, quality Cost efficiency requires low labor costs
Super-markets Low prices Convenient location Wide product range adapted to local tastes Fresh produce, good service, pleasant ambience, easy parking Markets localized Intensity of price competition depends on number and proximity of competitors Bargaining power essential to low input costs Low-costs require operational efficiency, efficient supply chain, buying power, low wage costs. Differentiation requires wide product range (hence, large stores), convenient location, easy parking

Porter framework assumes:

industry structure drives competitive behavior

Industry structure is (fairly) stable.

But, competition also changes industry structure:

  • Schumpeterian Competition: A “perennial gale of creative destruction” –market leaders overthrown by innovation
  • Hypercompetition: “intense and rapid competitive moves…. continuously creating new competitive advantages and destroying existing competitive advantages”

LIMITS OF INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

In some industries, the notion of “industry attractiveness” is meaningless because one firm takes all the industry’s profits and other firms earn little or no profit

These “winner-take-all” industries tend to be those with extreme scale economies (e.g. search engines) or network externalities (online auction sites, social networks)

A business ecosystem is the “community of organizations, institutions, and individuals that impact the enterprise”

BEYOND THE 5-FORCES

Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Business Ecosystems: Managing Value Migration

Change within a business ecosystem causes value to migrate between firms and groups of firms

A firm can influence value migration within a business ecosystem in order to increase its share of value within the system. E.g. by becoming a “guardian of quality”, becoming irreplaceable, exploiting changing customer needs, or reconfiguring the value chain.

Using Business Models to Manage the Ecosystem

A business model is a simplified description of a business that specifies the core logic for creating value

Business models are useful for developing strategies that can exploit the opportunities available in complex business ecosystems

The Business Model Canvas is a graphical tool for designing business models:

THE BUSINESS

MODEL CANVAS

  • Frames strategic decisions as interactions between competitors
  • Predicts outcomes of competitive situations involving a few,

evenly-matched players

  • Provides key insights into the nature and determinants of interactions

among competitors. E.g.:

Competition and Cooperation—Game theory can show conditions

where cooperation more advantageous than competition

Deterrence—changing the payoffs in the game in order to deter

a competitor from certain actions

Commitment—irrevocable deployments of resources that

give creditability to threats

Signaling—communication to influence a competitor's decision

Problems of game theory:

  • Able to explain past competitive behavior—weak in predicting future behavior.
  • Lack of an integrated general theory— Many different models; outcomes highly

sensitive to small changes in assumptions

Low price bicycles sold primarily

through department and discount

stores, mainly under the retailer’s

own brand (e.g. Sears’ “Free Spirit”);

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS

  • Low-costs of components and assembly.
  • Supply contract with major retailer.

Leading competitors: Assemblers in Taiwan & China

+ a few U.S manufacturers, e.g. Murray Ohio, Huffy

Medium-priced bicycles sold mainly

under manufacturer’s brand and

distributed through specialist cycle

stores

  • Cost efficiency through scale and low wage costs
  • Reputation for quality
  • Good dealer relations

* International marketing & distribution.

Leading competitors: Giant, Peugeot, Fuji

  • Quality components and assembly
  • Innovation in technology and design
  • Reputation (including success in racing)
  • Strong dealer relations.

Conventional industry analysis is limited to the extent that:

Industry membership is a minor influence on firm profitability

It assumes industry structure is stable—the competitive process can transform industry structures

In “winner-take-all” industries, the notion of industry attractiveness is meaningless

We can extend our analysis of industry and competition to take account of:

complementary products

platform-based competition

business ecosystems

Competitive interactions between close rivals can be analyzed:

game theory

competitor analysis—which is less formal than game theory, but can help us to understand competitors and predict their behavior

Segmentation analysis and strategic group analysis allows us to understand industries at a more detailed level
