5. Threat of Entry Economies of scale Product differentiation Capital requirements Cost disadvantages that are independent of size Access to distribution channels Government regulations

7. Bargaining Power of Suppliers Only a few dominant and are more concentrated than the industry they serve Component supplied is differentiated, making switching among suppliers difficult Few substitutes Suppliers can integrate forward Industry generates a small portion of the suppliers’ revenue base

8. Threat of Substitute Products or Services Show improvements in price performance relative to the industry average Produced by companies with deep pockets

Long-haul trucking Creative- core assets are threatened, but core activities retain value… Ex. Movie studios Intermediating- core assets retain value, but core activities are threatened… Ex. Museums

15. Structure, Concentration, and Product Differentiation Structure- Vertical integration, horizontal integration, or both? Concentration- Market share and unit costs are inversely related, and the “Rule of Three and Four.” Differentiation- Mature markets sometimes become less concentrated.
