Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis 1
Question 1 • What could be the consequences if a company does not pay attention to environmental changes? ØYour suggestions please!
Environments Environmental uncertainty: The degree of complexity plus the degree of change existing in an organization’s external environment. 3
Environments Environmental scanning: The monitoring, evaluating, and disseminating of information from the external and internal environments to key people within the corporation to avoid strategic surprise and ensure the longterm health of the firm. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 4
External Environmental Variables: Societal environment: environment General forces that do not directly touch on the short-run activities but often influence its long-run decisions. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 5
External Environmental Variables: Task environment: environment Those elements or groups that directly affect the corporation and, in turn, are affected by it. The task environment is the industry within which that firm operates. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 6
External Environmental Variables: Industry analysis: analysis An in-depth examination of key factors within a corporation’s task environment. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 7
External Environment Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 8
External Environment Societal environment forces: forces • Economic forces – Regulate the exchange of materials, money, energy, and information • Technological forces – Generate problem-solving inventions Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 9
External Environment Societal environment forces: forces • Political-legal forces – Allocate power, provide laws and regulations • Sociocultural forces – Regulate values, mores, and customs Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 10
Societal Environment Important Variables Economic Technological Political-Legal Sociocultural GDP trends Total government spending for R&D Antitrust regulations Lifestyle changes Environmental protection laws Career expectations Interest rates Money supply Inflation rates Total industry spending for R&D Unemployment levels Focus of technological efforts Wage/price controls Patent protection Devaluation/revaluation New products Special incentives Foreign trade regulations Attitudes toward foreign companies Energy availability and cost New developments in technology transfer from Disposable and lab to marketplace discretionary income Productivity improvements through automation Prentice Hall, 2004 Tax laws Laws on hiring and promotion Stability of government Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger Consumer activism Rate of family formation Growth rate of population Age distribution of population Regional shifts in population Life expectancies Birth rates 11
External Environment Socio-cultural Trends • • Increasing environmental awareness Growth of the seniors market Impact of Generation Y boomlet Decline of the mass market Changing pace and location of life Changing household composition Increasing diversity of workforce and markets Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 12
Question 2 • What are the ways in which companies respond to these environmental trends? ØYour suggestions please! Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 13
External Environment External Strategic Factors influencing the choice: – Personal values of managers – Functional experience of managers – Success of current strategies – Strategic myopia • Willingness to reject unfamiliar as well as negative information Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 14
External Environment Issues Priority Matrix • Identify likely trends: – Societal and task environments • Strategic environmental issues • Assess probability of trends occurring – Low to High • Ascertain likely impact of trends on the corporation – Low to High Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 15
Issues Priority Matrix Prentice Hall, 2004 Medium Low High Priority Medium High Priority Medium Priority Low Priority High Low Probability of Occurrence Probable Impact on Corporation Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 16
External Environment External Strategic Factors Defined: Key environmental trends that are judged to have both a medium to high probability of occurrence and a medium to high probability of impact on the corporation. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 17
Industry Analysis Industry A group of firms producing a similar product or service, such as soft drinks or financial services. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 18
Industry Analysis Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 19
Industry Analysis Porter’s approach: Assess the six forces - • • • Threat of new entrants Rivalry among existing firms Threat of substitute products Bargaining power of buyers Bargaining power of suppliers Relative power of other stakeholders Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 20
Industry Analysis Threat of New Entrants -Barriers to entry: • • Economies of Scale Product Differentiation Capital Requirements Switching Costs Access to Distribution Channels Cost Disadvantages Independent of Size Government Policy Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 21
Industry Analysis Rivalry Among Existing Firms -Intense rivalry related to: • • Number of competitors Rate of Industry Growth Produce or Service Characteristics Amount of Fixed Costs Capacity Height of Exit Barriers Diversity of Rivals Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 22
Industry Analysis Threat of Substitute Products/Services Substitute Products: Those products that appear to be different but can satisfy the same need as another product. To the extent that switching costs are low, substitutes can have a strong effect on an industry. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 23
Industry Analysis Bargaining Power of Buyers -Buyer is powerful when: • • • Buyer purchases large proportion of seller’s products Buyer has the potential to integrate backward Alternative suppliers are plentiful Changing suppliers costs very little Purchased product represents a high percentage of a buyer’s costs • Buyer earns low profits • Purchased product is unimportant to the final quality or price of a buyer’s products Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 24
Industry Analysis Bargaining Power of Suppliers -Supplier is powerful when: • Supplier industry is dominated by a few companies but sells to many • Its product is unique and/or has high switching costs • Substitutes are not readily available • Suppliers are able to integrate forward and compete directly with present customers • Purchasing industry buys only a small portion of the supplier’s goods. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 25
Example: Sports Shoe Industry • Rivalry: High (Strong competitors) • Potential entrants: Low ( Maturity) • Substitutes: Low (Others don’t provide sports activities) • Suppliers: Medium but rising (Asia) • Buyers: Medium but increasingly brown shoes gaining popularity • Other stake holders: Medium to high (Govt. regulation & human rights movement growing)26
Review • Lets relook at Michael Porter’s 5 -Forces model with some examples Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 27
Question 3 • Apply Michael Porter’s 5 -Forces model to following industries: § Fast foods § Automobiles § Cement § Chocolate & confectionary Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 28
Industry Analysis Industry Evolution Fragmented Industry – No firm has large market share and each firm serves only a small piece of the total market in competition with others. Consolidated Industry – Dominated by a few large firms, each of which struggles to differentiate its products from the competition. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 29
Continuum of International Industries Global Multidomestic Industry in which companies tailor their products to the specific needs of consumers in a particular country. • Retailing • Insurance • Banking Industry in which companies manufacture and sell the same products, with only minor adjustments made for individual countries around the world. Automobiles • Tires • Television sets Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 30
Industry Analysis Global Industries Industry primarily multidomestic or primarily global based on: – Pressure for coordination – Within the multinationals in that industry – Pressure for local responsiveness – Individual country markets Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 31
Industry Analysis Strategic Groups Defined: A set of business units or firms that pursue similar strategies with similar resources. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 32
Industry Analysis Strategic Types Defined: Category of firms based on a common strategic orientation and a combination of structure, culture, and processes consistent with that strategy. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 33
Industry Analysis Strategic Types – Categorized by one of four general strategic orientations: • Defenders – Companies with a limited product line; focus on improving efficiency of current operations Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 34
Industry Analysis Strategic Types (continued)– • Prospectors: – Companies with fairly broad product lines; focus on product innovation and market opportunities. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 35
Industry Analysis Strategic Types (continued)– • Analyzers: – Corporations that operate in at least two different product-market areas – one stable and one variable. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 36
Industry Analysis Strategic Types (concluded)– • Reactors: – Corporations that lack a consistent strategy-structure-culture relationship. Prentice Hall, 2004 Chapter 3 Wheelen/Hunger 37

External Factor Analysis Summary (EFAS) External Factors Opportunities Weight 1 Weighted Score Rating 2 3 Comments 4 5 Threats Total Weighted Score 1. 00 Notes: 1. List opportunities and threats (5– 10) in column 1. 2. Weight each factor from 1. 0 (Most Important) to 0. 0 (Not Important) in Column 2 based on that factor’s probable impact on the company’s strategic position. The total weights must sum to 1. 00. 3. Rate each factor from 5 (Outstanding) to 1 (Poor) in Column 3 based on the company’s response to that factor. 4. Multiply each factor’s weight times its rating to obtain each factor’s weighted score in Column 4. 5. Use Column 5 (comments) for rationale used for each factor. 6. Add the weighted scores to obtain the total weighted score for the company in Column 4. This tells how well the company is responding to the strategic factors in its external environment. Source: T.
