Porter's Five Forces

Created by Harvard Business School Professor Michael Porter in 1979, Porter's Five Forces model is designed to help analyse the particular attractiveness of an industry; evaluate investment options; and better assess the competitive environment.

The five forces are as follows:

Competitive rivalry
Supplier power
Buyer power
Threat of substitution
Threat of new entries

Porter's 5 forces is a framework used to analyse the competitive environment of a business. The framework takes into account five forces that can affect the profitability of a business:

1. The bargaining power of suppliers: This is the extent to which suppliers can influence the prices of inputs.

2. The bargaining power of buyers: This is the extent to which buyers can influence the prices of outputs.

3. The threat of new entrants: This is the extent to which new firms can enter the market and compete with existing firms.

4. The threat of substitute products: This is the extent to which substitute products can be used in place of the products offered by the firm.

5. The rivalry among existing firms: This is the extent to which existing firms compete with each other for market share.

In relation to Blue Energy Limited, the company scores relatively WELL in terms of Porter's 5 forces. The company has a strong competitive position in the market, with a diversified product range and a large customer base. The company's bargaining power is relatively strong, as it has a large market share and is a vertically integrated company. The company's supplier power is also relatively strong, as it has long-term contracts with major suppliers. The company's threat of new entrants is LOW, as the market is quite mature and there are HIGH barriers to entry. The company's threat of substitute products is also LOW, as there are no close substitutes for the company's products. However, the company's rivalry among existing firms is high, as there are many large competitors in the market.

2. Limited Scale: Blue Energy is a relatively small company with limited resources. This limits its ability to compete against larger rivals and makes it more vulnerable to market fluctuations.

3. Dependence on China: A large portion of Blue Energy’s coal sales are to China. This exposes the company to risks if there is a slowdown in the Chinese economy.

For example, the government could impose stricter emissions standards, making it more difficult for the company to stay compliant.

3. Technological Advancement: With the advancement of technology and the increasing popularity of renewable energy sources, Blue Energy Limited may be at risk of being left behind. This could lead to a decrease in market share as more customers are drawn towards the newer and more efficient sources of energy.

Innovation Scorecard

As part of our research and analysis activity, the team at Platform Executive assesses and then benchmarks businesses and the industry verticals in which they operate using a proprietary scoring mechanism.

First, we allocate a score of A-E for the industry vertical, gauged on the key organisations operating within the space; and then score the individual business using a 1-5 score.

A score of D-E within an industry means that it is potentially ripe to be disrupted by a new entrant into the marketplace; and/or vulnerable to technological change.

Likewise, a high score of 4-5 for the company in question indicates that in the view of the analysis team it lags behind notable businesses in terms of innovation and product pipeline.

Below is a guide to each score:

A	The industry is amongst the most innovative; with the leading players all driving the sector forward. Example industry: PaaS
B	The industry and its leading players have a good track record of innovation; and can quickly react to change. Example industry: Pharmaceutical
C	Companies operating within the sector have adequate levels of innovation; and engage in R&D activities when appropriate. Example industry: FMCG
D	Businesses operating in the industry do not invest enough time and resource into innovation. The sector is stagnant and a good candidate for disruption. Example industry: Retail Banking
E	The major players in the sector seem to lack suitable product development roadmaps; and as a result the sector is highly vulnerable to industry change. Example industry: Publishing

Company score:

1	The business is amongst the leading players in terms innovation and product pipeline. This will fulfil and reinforce the operations of the business in the medium to long-term.
2	The business has a good track record of innovation, in terms of its products and/or its business model. It is therefore more likely to be able to react and adapt to any changes to the industry.
