...Porter's Five Forces is a strategic tool that is used among many managers today as to take important decisions. What this tool does is analyse components of the company's micro environment and with that information that it gathers will know where the strength or weaknesses of the company's competitive position lies. The analysis that is to be done is on supplier power, buyer power, competitive rivalry, threat of substitution and threat of new entry. Together these forces determine the profitability of the company because it is these forces that determine that prices which will be charged. By analysing supplier power we would be assessing how easy it would be for our suppliers to raise their prices, and hence lower our profits. Suppliers are the once that provide us with the raw materials that we need to produce our product and thus giving them some power over the firm. If the raw material that the supplier sells is scarce, and no easily found, then this would enhance the power that they have over the company and could mean that they could raise their prices when they would see fit. If we were to see competitive firms competing for the resource that the supplier supplies then this would put the supplier in even greater power over those firms. In our case, Mdina Glass uses several raw materials that can be found in many destinations. The main raw material that is used is sand, but not just any sand, silica sand. Other raw materials include limestone, soda ash and other...

...________________________________________ Introduction: Company G is a well-established firm that is highly regarded in the electronics market. Its mission statement is as follows: “We enable consumers to improve the quality and convenience of their lives by providing high-quality, innovative electronic solutions.” Company G’s engineers and designers have developed a line of small appliances that the company feels can be very successful in the small-appliance market. The company feels that the current marketing plan for its products does not put them in a position to reach the profit potential for the small appliances. Success with the new line will depend upon an accurate assessment of the market and a well-crafted, effectively implemented marketing plan that will fit the current market. As the marketing manager, you are charged with the responsibility of developing a new marketing plan that will enable the company to reach the full profit potential of one small appliance from the new product line. The president has suggested that you use the “clean sheet of paper” concept as you develop the plan; therefore, during the time you are creating the new plan, all details of the company’s existing electronics marketing plan are to be considered irrelevant. The intent is that current strategies, practices, etc., will be considered for relevance and possible continuance only after your new plan has been presented to and is understood by top management. Given: Company G’s team of engineers and designers...

...Ice-Fili case analysis 1. Please provide an in-depth five forces analysis to illustrate the competitive environment for Russia’s ice cream industry. How is it likely to evolve? Five forces analysis: 1) The bargaining power of suppliers * As some producers such as Ice-Fili wanted to keep their product’s quality level, they imported specific raw materials, but they didn’t have a problem in finding new suppliers. * As the technology of Russia was lagged behind Western’s, Ice cream producers needed to import most of their ice cream machines. The bargaining power of suppliers for raw materials is low, while for facilities is high. 2) The bargaining power of customers * There are various ice creams in Russia, so customers have many choices and low loyalty to a certain kind of ice cream. * Ice cream is really appreciated in Russia, customers eat it even in Winter. The bargaining power of customers is moderate. 3) Threat of potential entrants * Barriers to entry are low, profit can be easily made (as ingredient’s cost can be moderate), facilities can be use for other items, and economies of scale can be made (as the unit cost decreases when the total production rises). * Moreover, a new producer can easily find a distribution channel, because multiple companies are willing to sell ice cream, it isn’t a monopolistic market. Threat of potential entrants is high. 4) Threat of potential substitutes * In Russia, Ice Cream is considerate...

...Importance of environmental analysis Introduction No single organization can exist in a vacuum. For a successful business operation, an organisation needs to interact with various other actors and players around it. These may range from political institutions to other business and financial institutions. These institutions are called environment of an organisation. In this assignment, we would try to illustrate the importance of environmental analysis for a business organisation. The conceptualisation of environment holds the central position in this discussion. Thompson uses the term ‘operating or task environment, or inner layer’ for immediate or internal environment (Thompson, 1997). It relates to that domain where staff from one organisation interacts with people from others in their day to day business relationships (Douglas Brownlie, 1994b). Brownlie employs the term ‘remote or general environment, or outer layer’ for external or macro environment (Douglas Brownlie, 1994b). This refers to those factors which are outside of company’s direct control but have significant direct and indirect influence on company’s operations. For a company to be successful, it needs to be fully aware of its environment as it allows an organisation to respond to the needs and requirements in its environment. ‘Whilst organisational decision makers may wish to believe that they are the masters/mistresses of their organisation’s destinies, in reality that destiny is shaped by governments, customers...
