FIVE FORCES 2
When entering in an industry or a market there are five different forces in the model of
industry attractiveness. The five forces aim at letting the investors know whether an industry is
attractive or not and are a good point of performing the industry analysis. They define the
influence and the shape profit potential of the selected industry since the attractive industry must
offer this profitability.
The first force is the threat to new entrants where companies look into the level of the
openness of the market to allow new entrants in the same industry (Schermerhorn, 2011). The
new entrants in the industry will increase competition and thus reducing the profitability of an
organization. However if the industry has to be attractive, the level of threat to new entrant
should be low.
The second is the threat of substitutes to the products offered in the industry. Having so
many substitute means that a customer can simply shift interest from your products to others.
High thereat of the substitute product in the industry makes it to be unattractive than the industry
where such threat is much lower.
Thirdly the other is the bargaining power of the buyers. Buyers keep the industry
producing more and more to the market. They put high or low demand to the products depending
on their power. When the power or ability of the buyers to purchase is high, the industry model is
therefore attractive.
The forth is the intensity of the rivalry among the industry players. The players define the
path and the competition in the industry. Having so much rivalry among the existing players
therefore makes the industry unattractive and vice versa.
