Cell Phones Doom Phone Revenues for Hotels
• The year 2000 – typical hotel could budget annual revenue of $1,274 per room for in-room phone charges
• The year 2009 – typical hotel could budget annual revenue of only $178 per room for in-room phone charges
• Cell phones and technologies of all kinds are transforming entire industries

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
• Regardless of the resource, always assess its financial impact
• Often assess impact using break-even analysis• IT can definitely impact break-even analysis
![Page 29: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Break-Even Analysis
• Consider and chart the following financial information– Fixed costs – costs incurred even if you
don’t sell anything– Variable costs – costs incurred from
producing and selling something (COGS)– Revenue – how much you sell one unit for
![Page 30: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1-30
Break-Even Analysis Example
• Assume online movie poster business• $1,500 – online store, domain name
registration, search engine placement, etc (fixed costs)
• $6 - $4 to buy poster from supplier and $2 to ship to customer (variable costs)
• $9 – price at which you sell a move poster

Reducing Variable Costs with IT
• Virtual goods – because they are digital, there is no cost to duplicate and sell again and again
• Crowdsourcing – use non-paid non-employees to create value
![Page 35: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Increasing Revenue with IT
• Recommendation engines – drive complementary sales
• Long-tail economics – sell products/services that are too expensive for physical stores to carry– Physical stores only carry what they can sell large
amounts of– Because of fixed costs

INDUSTRY IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
• Porter’s Five Forces Model helps business people understand the relative attractiveness of an industry and the industry’s competitive pressures:
1. Buyer power2. Supplier power3. Threat of substitute products or services4. Threat of new entrants5. Rivalry among existing competitors
![Page 38: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL
![Page 39: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
1-39
Buyer Power• Buyer power
– high when buyers have many choices– low when few choices
• Competitive advantages are created to get buyers to stay with a given company
– NetFlix – set up and maintain your movie list– United Airlines – frequent flyer program– Apple iTunes – buy/manage your music
![Page 40: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1-40
Buyer Power• Competitive advantage – providing a
product or service in a way that customers value more than what the competition offers
• First-mover advantage – significant impact on gaining market share by being the first to market with a competitive advantage
• All competitive advantages are temporary
![Page 41: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
1-41
Supplier Power
• Supplier power – high when buyers have few choices – low when choices are many
• The opposite of buyer power
![Page 42: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
1-42
Threat of Substitute Products and Services
• Threat of substitute products and services – high when there are many alternatives for buyers and low when there are few alternatives
• Switching costs can reduce this threat• Switching cost – factor that makes buyers
reluctant to switch to another product/service
![Page 43: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
1-43
Threat of New Entrants
• Threat of new entrants – high when it is easy for competitors to enter the market and low when entry barriers are significant
• Entry barrier – product or service feature that customers have come to expect and that must be offered by an entering organization
– Banking – ATMs, online bill pay, etc
![Page 44: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
1-44
Rivalry Among Existing Competitors
• Rivalry among existing competitors – high when competition is fierce and low when competition is more complacent
• General trend is toward more competition in almost all industries
• IT has certainly intensified competition in all sectors of business
![Page 45: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

STRATEGY IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
• Porter identified 3 generic business strategies for beating the competition
1. Overall cost leadership
2. Differentiation3. Focus
![Page 46: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
1-46
Overall Cost Leadership
• Overall cost leadership – offering the same or better quality product or service at a price that is less than what any of the competition is able to do
– Walmart (Always Low Prices, Every Day Low Prices)
– Dell – a computer the way you want it at an affordable price
– Hyundai and Kia – reliable low-cost cars– Grocery stores – high-volume, low-margin

Differentiation
• Differentiation – offering a product or service that is perceived as being “unique” in the marketplace
– Hummer – Like Nothing Else– Audi and Michelin – safety– Lund’s & Byerly’s – high-end grocery store – Apple iPod

Run-Grow-Transform (RGT) Framework
• Run-grow-transform (RGT) framework – the allocation in terms of percentages of IT dollars on various types of business strategies
![Page 50: 1-1 Chapter 1 The Information Age in Which You Live: Changing the Face of Business](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0b5503460f94af378c/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

RGT Framework
• How will you allocate IT dollars to– Run – optimizing execution of existing processes– Grow – increasing market share, products, and
service offerings– Transform – innovating business processes,
products, and/or services

Porter and RGT
• Run = overall cost leadership• Grow = focus and differentiation• Transform = (new) differentiation
