Capsim Porter's Five Forces

I was once asked, if I thought the decision to reorganize of the state was right. Specially taking about creating the JDOC command structure, I said, “who else is going to do what we are doing?” The job of domestic operations has always been an additional duty, with very little time for planning or preparing for upcoming events. We are a reactive organization and I can see how that can kill us in the end. Our focus in the past 15 years has been on how prepare to go to war, which is our federal mission, and we have forgotten how to take care of our citizens in our own back yard which is our state mission. This reorganization has forced us to look to our left and right, and view the Oregon National Guard a one force both Army and Air. We as an organization are learning each other’s capabilities, strengths, weaknesses, and how we can better support each other in the

Rivalry between companies takes the form of competing for position using different strategies i.e. price and advertising competitions and product positioning. This rivalry increases when companies have an opportunity to improve their position or the competitive pressure increases. Companies are mutually dependent, so the pattern of action and reaction may harm all companies and the industry. TSCO’s main competitors are Rural King, Southern States and Orscheln (Logel;Klein, 2015).

The barriers to enter these industries are quite high. It seems very difficult for potential competitors to implement themselves in these markets because there are already many big companies offering large range of products all over the world and these companies benefit from very strong brand image.

An information system is a base in today’s business world. Everything is electronic. In various businesses, the survival and ability to succeed strategic business goals is challenging without extensive use of information system. Businesses improve the efficiency of their operations in order to accomplish higher profitablity. Besides that, information systems are important tools available to managers for achieving higher levels of efficiency and productiviy in business operations. For an example, Zara uses the PDA technology to gather customer feedback and input.

Back in the 1980’s, Michael Porter created the concept of his Five Forces and Competitive Triangle. These five forces are used as a tool to measure the level of competition in an industry, as well as the overall profitability and attractiveness of the industry. The triangle takes into account the importance of product leadership, operational excellence and customer intimacy, which we will discuss later. This year we used Porter’s five forces and competitive triangle to analyze different business models and business ventures within our MGMT 4900 class. Porter’s strategy was one of the three main strategies we focused on when discussing the creation of differentiation, business strategy and competitive industry analysis. Porter’s models are simple and effective in identifying the attractiveness of an industry as well as competitive strategies, which he defines as, “deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value.” Before we dive into the five forces and Porter’s triangle, he tells us to ask three questions when creating a business strategy, what is the business doing now? What is happening in the environment? And, what should the business be doing?

In a landmark article published in the March/April 1979 issue of the Harvard Business Review, Michael Porter identified five competitive forces that determine if you should enter a new market segment.

In business word wide the use of information technology systems is what keeps a business functioning properly. Every business holds a substantial amount of information that they must learn to sort, utilize and store efficiently. Everything a business does in their day to day operations requires the use of both information and technology. Payments, employee information, records, client information, all of this must be processed, stored, organized and analyzed for later use in the business. For example, at the end of a year businesses will need to pull old records and reports so that they can make predictions for future profit and pay their taxes to

Porter's Five Forces allowed us to analyse the influences on the industry in which Tesco operates. It highlights where Tesco has developed a competitive edge over its rivals.

ØIn many industries, survival and even existence is difficult without extensive use of Information Systems.

In order to improve and design a good strategy it is important to have a deep understanding of the main competitors that are fighting with Oakley trying to get a part of the market share. Furthermore, the company has to be always aware of the new start-ups and potential competitors that may enter the market that can change the dynamic of a whole industry and could be a potential threat for the already established companies such Oakley.

towards overall profitability. The Porter’s Five Forces once implemented carefully will result in the industry achieving high standard towards "pure competition".

Michael Porter's Five Forces Analysis is a framework that used for industry analysis and understand the level of competition in an industry in order to develop business strategy (Tang, 2014). There are two key players in the local malt liquor market (MLM) industry of Malaysia, GAB Berhad and CBMB who have occupied 95% of the total beer and stout market shares in Malaysia (CMBB, 2015). Therefore, the competition among existing brewers are low as there are only two major brewers in the local MLM industry. The threat of new entrants is minimum as government policies and complicated tax on beers have restricted other investors in the market. The switching cost among competitors is low as the price difference between the products of competitors are minimised. This has been proved by a research, which has been done at a local shopping centre, Aeon Mahkota Cheras Store & Shopping Centre, which located in Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia. As figure11 shown, the minimum price difference between a competitor is only RM1.00 for mainstream product, and the maximum price difference is RM3.00 for Premium beer

By looking at a Porters five forces model of British Airways you might might get some useful, new insights. For instance, British Airways is the dominant player in its industry, so a Porters five forces model of British Airways might teach you something about dominant players in general. This could be very useful when creating a Porters five forces models of Tesco plc.

The porter forces model was first developed in 1979 by Michael .F. Porter of the Harvard as structure for assessing and evaluating the competitive position and power of an organization, the model is grounded on the concept that there are five forces which ascertain the competitive intensity of the market (Porter, 2008).
