TOOLS USED TO SCAN THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
PORTER’S 6 FORCES:
1. Threat of New Entrants:
- New entrants pose a threat when it's easy for them to enter a market, making existing
businesses lose customers or lower prices.
- Level of Rivalry: High, if new businesses can easily start; Moderate to Low, if entry
barriers are high.
2. Availability of Substitute:
- Substitutes are alternatives that fulfil the same purpose, and their availability can impact
a company's market share and pricing.
- Level of Rivalry: High, if substitutes are readily available and comparable; Moderate to
Low, if substitutes are limited.
3. Power of Suppliers:
- Suppliers have power when they can control prices, quality, or supply, impacting the
profitability of the companies they supply.
