Competitive Rivals. 20XX. Contoso business plan. 9. 

Scene 9

The number of competitors - The more competitors in an industry, the more fierce the rivalry, each fighting for scraps of market share. 
 Industry growth: In an expanding industry, competition is usually less dramatic because the market is growing so fast that competitors have little need to fight for customers
 Similarities in what's offered: When the products or services in a market are awfully similar, competition tends to be intense because customers can easily switch. 
 Exit barriers: When it's difficult or costly for companies to leave the industry due to specialized assets, contractual obligations, or emotional attachment, they may choose to stay and compete, even if the market's prospects grow dimmer by the day. 
 Fixed costs: Porter notes that if an industry has high fixed costs, companies have a "strong temptation" to cut prices rather than slow production when demand slackens.

2. Potential for New Entrants in an Industry. 20XX. 

Scene 10

2. Potential for New Entrants in an Industry

Economies of scale: Industries where large-scale production leads to lower costs face less of a threat from new entrants. New firms would need to achieve a similar size to compete on price, which might be difficult or costly.   Product differentiation: When existing firms have strong brand identities or customer loyalty, it's harder for new entrants to gain market share, reducing the threat of entry. 
 Capital requirements: High startup costs for equipment, facilities can deter new entrants. 
 Access to distribution channels: If existing firms control the distribution channels like retail stores, online platforms, cable infrastructure, then new entrants would need to find a way to replicate that structure while competing with the established firms on price, a tricky proposition. 
 Regulations: Licenses, safety standards, and other regulatory standards can create barriers, making it too ungainly or costly for new firms to enter the market. 
 Switching costs: If it's costly or difficult for customers to switch from existing firms to new entrants, the threat of entry is lower.

3. Supplier Power. 20XX. Contoso business plan. 11. 

Scene 11

The number of suppliers - When few firms can give a company something it needs to stay in business, each has greater negotiating power. They can raise prices or reduce quality without fear of losing business.
 Uniqueness: If a supplier provides a unique product or it's not easy to find a substitute, it is more dominant. Businesses can't easily switch to another supplier.
 Switching costs: If it's costly or time-consuming to switch suppliers, then they have more power. 
 Forward integration: If suppliers can move into the buyer's industry, they have more power. 
 Industry importance: Some sectors are tightly intertwined, such as automotive suppliers and the major auto companies or the semiconductor and tech industries, which can balance the power between the suppliers and those in the sector.

4. Customer Power. 20XX. Contoso business plan. 12. 

Scene 12

The number of buyers - The fewer the buyers, the more they have power.  Purchase size: Just like you head off to the big box stores to buy in bulk for a cheaper per-unit cost on whatever now fills up your garage, major retail chains like Walmart Inc. When buy in large volumes and can negotiate better terms and discounts. Switching costs: In industries like telecommunications, where it's easy for consumers to switch providers, companies such as Verizon Communications. Price sensitivity: In the fast-fashion industry, where customers are highly price-sensitive, brands must keep their prices low to attract cost-conscious consumers. Informed buyers: In many sectors, the customers are savvy, know the competitive terrain well, and thus can negotiate better prices.

5. Threat of Substitutes. 20XX. Contoso business plan. 

Scene 13

Relative price performance - If the cost of a substitute is lower and its performance is comparable or better, customers are likely to switch to the substitute. 
 Customer willingness to go elsewhere - The threat is high if buyers find it easy to switch to a substitute. 
 The sense that products are similar - If buyers perceive that there are few differences between your product and a substitute, even if there are, they may be more likely to switch.
 Availability of close substitutes - There are genuinely similar products in the market and the threat of substitutes is high, such as between brand-name and generic medications.
