  44. Porter’s Competitive Forces Model The best-known framework for analyzing competitiveness is Michael Porter’s competitive forces model (Porter, 1985). Michael Porter

  45. Porter’s Competitive Forces Model

  46. Porter’s Competitive Forces Model • Threat of entry of new competitors is high when it is easy to enter a market and low when significant barriers to entry exist. • A barrier to entry is a product or service feature that customers expect from organizations in a certain industry. • For most organizations, the Internet increases the threat that new competitors will enter a market.

  47. Porter’s Competitive Forces Model • The bargaining power of suppliers is high when buyers have few choices and low when buyers have many choices. • Internet impact is mixed. Buyers can find alternative suppliers and compare prices more easily, reducing power of suppliers. • On the other hand, as companies use the Internet to integrate their supply chains, suppliers can lock in customers.

  48. Porter’s Competitive Forces Model • The bargaining power of buyers is high when buyers have many choices and low when buyers have few choices. • Internet increases buyers’ access to information, increasing buyer power. • Internet reduces switching costs, which are the costs, in money and time, to buy elsewhere. This also increases buyer power.

  49. Porter’s Competitive Forces Model • The threat of substitute products or services is high when there are many substitutes for an organization’s products or services and low where there are few substitutes. • Information-based industries are in the greatest danger from this threat (e.g., music, books, software). The Internet can convey digital information quickly and efficiently.

  50. Porter’s Competitive Forces Model • Therivalry among firms in an industry is high when there is fierce competition and low when there is not.
