Relevance of key economic features
Does the market have unusual… That could be important because…
size small markets don't attract new entrants as quickly; larger markets attract firms willing to grow by acquisition of firms with established positions in attractive markets.
growth rateFast growth breeds new entry; slow grown spawns increased rivalry & shake-out of weak
firms
capacity surpluses or shortages surpluses push profits and prices down; shortages pull them up
industry profitability high-profit industries attract new entrants; depressed conditions lead to exit
product is a big-ticket item for customers buyers tend to shop around more; price pressure is common
standard products buyers have more power because it's easier to switch from seller to seller
rapid technological change
this raises risk; investments in technology facilities or equipment may become obsolete before they're amortized
capital requirementsbig capital requirements make investment decisions critical; timing becomes important;
creates a barrier to entry or exit
vertical integrationthis raises capital requirements; often creates competitive & cost differences among fully
v. partially v. non-integrated firms
economies of scalethese increase pressure for production volume & market share in order to be cost
competitive
rapid product innovation shortens the product life cycle; increases risk because of opportunities for "leapfrogging"

Common barriers to entry
• Sizable economies of scale• Inability to access specialized technology because of
trade secrets, copyrights, patents• Strong learning or experience curve effects• Strong brand preferences• Large capital requirements / specialized resource
requirements• Cost disadvantages (independent of size)• Difficulty getting access to distribute• Regulatory policies, tariffs, trade restrictions

Trend Analysis
Simple trend between periods =
New period – old period x 100%
Old period
(I use the acronym “no oil” – new minus old divided by old)
