3.1 Environmental Scanning
Environment: everything around us.
Business environment: Sum total of all the forces Sum total of all the forces surrounding & influencing the life and surrounding & influencing the life and development of the firm.development of the firm.
Environmental scanning is the monitoring, evaluating, and disseminating of information from external and internal environment to key people in company.

Competitive Forces:
-Competition in virtually all industries can be described as intense .
-Identifying rival firms Strength Weakness Capabilities Opportunities Threats Objectives Strategies
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 16
Competitive Forces:
-Characteristics of most competitive firms Market share matters Understand what business you are in Acquisition is essential to growth People make a difference No substitute for quality More Innovation
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis

3.2 Competitive Analysis: Porter’s Five Forces Model
Potential development of substitute products
Rivalry among competing firms
Bargaining power of suppliers
Potential entry of new competitors
Bargaining power of consumers
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 18
Five force model of competition concept
provide you : Understand how profitable an industry is
to be in which can be used to decide whether to enter or exit the market.
By firms operating in that industry to understand the forces impacting upon industry profitability and change how they operate to become more profitable themselves.
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 19
Competitive Rivalry
The force will be high and the industry less profitable when:
There are a lot of competitors There is little difference between the
products Competitors are strong i.e. big, have
financial support, economies of scale There are exit barriers e.g. high cost of
leaving a market).
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 20
Competitors can be analyzed by asking the following questions?
a) What are their objectives? b) What are their strategies? (e.g. cost
leadership, differentiation, market penetration, product development etc.)
c) What are their strengths and weaknesses? (SWOT Analysis/ Value Chain)
d) How will they react to our offensive moves (e.g. price cuts)?
e) What threats do they pose?
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 21
Threat of new entrants-The force will be high, and the industry less profitable
when: New companies can easily enter the market) New companies are likely to or intend to enter the
market)-It is harder to enter the market when there are
significant barriers to entry. These can include: High costs of entry e.g. production facilities, IT,
Building, Factory) Patents (Law) Customer contracts in place) Cost advantages of existing competitors are
significant (e.g. due to scale of operation) competitors (Strong brands amongst competitors)
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 22
Buyer Power
-The force is high, and industry less profitable when:
Customers are large and provide a large proportion of company profits
Customers can switch between competitors easily
More choice
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 23
Supplier Power
-Supplier power is high, and industry less profitable when:
The are few alternative suppliers. Cost of changing suppliers is high. Not much choice
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 24
Substitutes Substitutes are products which fulfill the
same needs as the needs met by the product in the industry being examined. A substitute of cinema might be the theatre, DVD's, sport or other forms of entertainment.)
Where customers can have there needs met from many different types of products, it becomes easy for them to switch, if prices rise for instance. This makes profitability in the industry low.
Switching Cost is also one of example of Substitutes.

An External Factor Evaluation Matrix (EFE) allows strategists to summarize and evaluate economic, social, cultural, demographic, environmental, political, government, legal, technological, and competitive information, can be developed in Five steps:.
3.3 Industry Analysis: The External Factor
Evaluation (EFE) Matrix
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 27
Step 1 : List 10 to 20 external factors, including both opportunities and threats that affect the firm. Be specific as possible, using percentages,
ratios, and comparative numbers whenever possible.
Step 2 : Assign to each factors a weight that ranges form 0.0 (not important) to 1.0 (very important). The weight indicates the relative importance of that factor to be successful.
The sum of all weight assigned to the factors must equal 1.0
Strategic Management: Chapter 3 Environmental Scanning and Industry Analysis
Page 28
Step 3 : Assign a 1 to 4 rating to each key external factors to indicate how effectively the firm’s current strategies respond to the factor, where
4 the response is superior, 3 is above average,
2 is average, and 1 is poor
Step 4 : Multiply each factor’s weight by its rating to determine a weighted score.
Step 5 : Sum the weight scores for each variable to determine the total weight score for the firm.
The highest total score is 4.0, the lowest is 1.0, the average is 2.5.

Some issue for Review and Discussion
1. Identify a recent economic, social, political, or technological trend that significantly affects financial institutions.
2. Use Porter’s Five-Force Model to evaluate competitiveness within the Cambodia education industry.
3. Construct and EFE Matrix for an organization of your choice.
4. Discuss the opportunities and threats a firm faces in Siem Reap.
