- FIVE FORCES MODEL (static
picture and no individual
company differences)
- Risk of new entry by potential competitors
- Function of the height of barriers to
entry (the higher the barriers, the lower
is the risk and the greater the profits)
- Economies of scale (Reductions in unit
costs attributed to a larger output)
- Massproducing a standardized output
- Discounts on bulk purchases of raw material
- Spreading fixed production costs over a large production volume
- Distributing marketing and advertising costs over a large volume of output
- Massproducing a standardized output
- Brand loyalty

products of established companies

entry (the higher the barriers, the lower

- Extent of Rivalry among
established firms
- Function of an industry’s competitive
structure, demand conditions, cost
conditions, and barriers to exit (Strong
demand conditions moderate the
competition, weak demand conditions
intensive competition can develop)
- Macro-environments that affect rivalry intensity (macroeconomic, global,
technological, demographic and social, and political and legal)

higher prices or lower unit
costs ... product/process)

customers (allows it to
charge a higher price)
- Efficiency (enables a
company to lower its costs)
