Threats • Technology is ever changing and Netflix must consistently improve method of delivery. • Competitors • Companies offer video-game rental • Suppliers shifting to competition
Competition • Blockbuster, Redbox, Apple, Hulu, etc
Internal Rivalry (low) • Competition is split into 2 buckets • Existing Pay-TV distributors • Cash Rich Tech Companies For Example – Apple’s Cash Balance is 20x Netflix’s Projected 2011 Sales - Good First Mover Advantage, but TV distributors and Tech companies have a better position to license quality content over a longer horizon
Barriers to Entry (Moderate) • Capital Requirements, content costs money • Economic moat around streaming business for new entrants • Relatively low barrier for existing competitors with enough money • Brand Identity: No longer the best • Loyalty is weak, many unsubscribed
Threat of Substitute products (High) • Many Competitors from all sides of business • Apple TV, Amazon on Demand, Blockbuster on Demand, Cablevision, Verizon, DirecTV • Comcast and Dish Network are overlooked substitutes • Work closer with content owners to offer better Video On Demand experience for customers
The Bargaining Power of Suppliers (High) • Content is a Key Input in Netflix Business • Suppliers = Content Owners (Time Warner, CBS) • Limited number of Suppliers have High Quality Content • There is no substitute for High Quality Content • At the mercy of their licensing deals
Bargaining Power of Buyers (Moderate) • Netflix Revenue is majority customer sales based • Customers not as loyal as before • Better and cheaper ways to watch movies and TV
Recommendations/Conclusion • International Expanding • Develop the program of radio-game • Cooperate with other big companies like: Apple, Google, Microsoft • Promote on game platform like Xbox360, Play Station, Wii by Nintendo. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6B2tKMg3B8
