develop our strategy further we need to know our competitive environment.Knowing this we can establish:nWhat do we need to do to shape the future action of competitors and other industry players?nHow should we respond to the actions of competitors and other industry players?The source of profitability is evolving and so is the role of the managerWhat factors explain these changes?Sustaining competitive advantage appears to be difficultTop Ten U.S Traded Companies by Market Value 1.GE$494b 2.Cisco$447b 3.Intel$426b 4.Microsoft$362b 5.Walmart$307b 6.Nokia$271b 7.Exxon-Mobil$270b

why are some industries able to sustain higher prices?What drives profitability?A:Intensity of competition in an industry which,in turn,is determined by the structure of the industryAveragePharma.Why are some industries consistently more profitable than others?nBecause firms in these industries consistently face less intense competition What explains profitability variation?41943100232Business

Industry:nConcentrate producers have relatively high market power vs.other competitive forces and are highly concentrated(rivalry is focused between two players)nThe industry remained attractive in the early 90s,but the key dimensions of competition changednSome of the changes were due to exogenous factors but others were initiated by the major playersnTherefore,the profitability of these players will be to a large extent determined by how rivalry between them plays out along the dimensions they have control over.nCould the major players compete less aggressively with each other?n“Industry”can be analyzed at many levels.The more fine-grained the analysis,the better the insights regarding threats and opportunitiesYou can shape the reaction of your competitors:CommitmentnEstablish and use a reputationnAlexander the Great in TyrosnWrite contractsnCut off communicationnCrossing the streetnBurn bridges behind younCortez in MexiconProgram your response to your competitors movesnCornering a cat can be dangerous to your healthYou can shape the structure of your industry:Competitive movesnNew product introductionsnPrice changesnAdvertising

vs.sellSpecial case:Games of attritionnGames of attrition can go on for long.nThis is true even when strong egos and emotions are not involved.nBecause at any point in the game it is reasonable for each competitor to expect that if the other leaves,they will win the prize.nThus,they are costly.You dont want to be caught up in one.nIf you are:Try to change the other players beliefs about you:nDemonstrate commitment before or during the game.nShe might not enter,exit,or collaborate.How to use industry analysisnFind out the attractiveness of an industry before enteringnSeek ways to lower barriers to entry if you wish to enternIn general,seek ways to“push back”on the forces of competition if they are unfavourable to you30 minute group assignment nPick one of the industries that the individuals in your group are analysing.nAssess each of the five forces and whether overall this is an attractive industry.nHow are these forces likely to change the industry in the future?nHow can an incumbent improve its position?(or,How can an potential entrant improve its position?)
