We turn now to analyzing the effects of a strategy on the Five ForcesFive Forces

Can frighten off New EntrantsNew Entrants due to the need to:

Enter at large scale to be Cost Competitive

Take time to move down “Learning Curve”

Effective Cost Leaders can remain profitable even when the Five Forces appear unattractive

Can mitigate Customer (Buyer) PowerBuyer) Power by:Driving prices far below competitors which may cause exit and shift power back to firm

Ways to fight off SubstitutesSubstitutes:Make investments to create substitutes first

Buy patents developedby potential substitutes

Lower prices to maintain value position

Can mitigate Supplier PowerSupplier Power by: Low cost position makes them better able to absorb cost increases

* More likely to make very large purchases which reduces chance of supplier power

Competitors avoid price wars with Cost Leaders, which creates higher profits for entire industry

The Major The Major Risks involved Risks involved with a with a Cost Leadership Cost Leadership Business Level Business Level StrategyStrategy

Dramatic technological change could take away your cost advantage

Focus on efficiency could cause Cost Leader to overlook changes in customer preferences

Differentiation Business Level Strategy

Can fend off New EntrantsNew Entrants because• New Products must

surpass proven products• Or be equal to

performance at lower prices

Effective Differentiators can remain profitable even when the Five Forces appear unattractiveEffective Differentiators can remain profitable even when the Five Forces appear unattractive

Can mitigate Customer (Buyer) PowerBuyer) Power by:

* Well differentiated products reduce customer sensitivity to price increases

Effective Differentiators can remain profitable even when the Five Forces appear unattractiveEffective Differentiators can remain profitable even when the Five Forces appear unattractive

Ways to fight off SubstitutesSubstitutes:Brand loyalty tends to reduce new product trial and brand switching

Effective Differentiators can remain profitable even when the Five Forces appear unattractive

Bargaining Bargaining Power of Power of SuppliersSuppliers

Can mitigate Supplier PowerSupplier Power by: Absorbing price increases due to higher margins*

* Passing on higher supplier prices because buyers are brand loyal

Brand loyalty overcomes much price competition

The Major Risks involved with a Differentiation Business Level Strategy

Customers may decide that the cost of “uniqueness” is too great

The means of uniqueness may no longer be valued by customers

Competitors may learn how to imitate Value Chain

Focused Low Cost

Firm may lack resources to compete industry wide

Large firms may overlook small niches

However.....Opportunities may exist because:

* May be able to serve a narrow market segment more effectively than industry-wide competitors

Focused Business Level Strategies involve the same basic approach as Broad Market Strategies

Focused Business Level Strategies

- Bang & Olufsen Upscale electronic components

- Iams Company Premium pet foods

- Snap-on tools High quality mechanics’ tools

May be able to retrofit old factories to keep costs down

Minimize R&D costs by copying innovators*

*Focused Business Level Strategies involve the same basic approach as Broad Market Strategies

Focused Differentiators may thrive by selecting a small market that is underserved by large players

Custom manufacturers of parts for

Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

*Focused Business Level Strategies involve the same basic approach as Broad Market Strategies

The Major Risks involved with a FocusedDifferentiation Business Level Strategy

Firm may be “outfocused” by competitors

Preferences of niche market may change to match those of broad market

Large competitor may set its sights on your niche market

What if a Competitor accomplishes BOTH Strategies?

Integrated Low Cost/Differentiation Strategy Recognize that the Integrated Low Cost/

Differentiation business level strategy involves a Compromise

The risk is that the firm may become “Stuck in the Middle” lacking a strong commitment to or expertise with either type of generic strategy

Integrated Low Cost/Differentiation Strategy

Low Cost Use a single aircraft model

(Boeing 737) Use secondary airports Fly short routes No meals 15 minute turnaround time No reserved seats No travel agent reservations

Integrated Low Cost/Differentiation Strategy

Differentiation Focus on customer

satisfaction High level of employee dedication

New flight services for business travelers(Phones and faxes)

Few can execute it successfully, but IT IS POSSIBLE!
