CM8-251 · Porter's Five Forces Analysis

Rivalry: differentiate so the comparison stops being price — lead time, service level, technical support — or pick a segment the crowd cannot serve.
New entrants: raise what it costs to reach your standard through certifications and tooling, and hold relationships a newcomer must break to get in.
Substitutes: compete where the substitute is weak; where it genuinely wins, withdraw deliberately and redeploy the capacity rather than defending with price.
Buyer power: diversify the customer base — the most reliable move a small business has — and raise switching costs with design involvement or tooling ownership.
Supplier power: qualify a second source before you need one, standardise on what is widely available, hold contract stock on volatile inputs, or integrate backwards.
