Porter’s 5 forces - Citibank
Threat of New Entrants
• Low / high (exceptions)• Existing loyalty to major brands• Huge Investments• Incentives for using a particular buyer (such as frequent
shopper programs) • High fixed costs • Scarcity of resources • High costs of switching companies • Government restrictions or legislation• There is virtually no chance of a new entrant significantly
affecting the major banks' market share. The only place that new entrants may have a chance in the industry is through Internet banking, because of its low cost.
Power of Suppliers
• Low to medium• There are very few suppliers of particular product categories• There are almost no substitutes in some product categories• Switching to another (competitive) product is very costly • The supplying industry has a higher profitability than the buying
industry .• Opportunities:
– Because of the increasing amount of technology Internet banking will begin to replace traditional banking, thus cutting personnel costs.
– Incorporating investment banking into the banking industry, as some major companies are doing.
• Threats: – An increase in interest rates causing a decline in bank activity.– A collapse of the Fed leading to bank failures, a repeat of the crash of 1929.– A decline in the US economy leading to a fall in the value of the dollar, thus
causing an instable economy.
Power of Buyers
• Medium to High• Large number of buyers • Purchases large volumes • Concentration Ratio is medium being international• Information is easily available to the customer• Switching to another (competitive) product is simple • The product is not extremely important to buyers; they
can do without the product for a period of time • Customers are price sensitive
Availability of Substitutes
• Low to medium• Internet• If substitutes are similar, it can be viewed in the same
light as a new entrant• Presence of companies like Western Union, PayPal and
Xe.com• This is not really an issue within the banking industry,
because there aren't really any legal alternatives, except buying a safe and borrowing from a loan shark
Competitive Rivalry
• A highly competitive market might result from:– Many players of about the same size; there is no dominant firm – Little differentiation between competitors products and services – A mature industry with very little growth; companies can only grow by
stealing customers away from competitors– Technologically Advanced companies– Introduction of new products by competitors
• The banking industry is continuing to restructure and position itself for our changing economy as a result, many mega-mergers have occurred in recent years. Citicorp and Travelers Insurance agreed to merge in April 1998 at a value of $70 billion.Bank mergers are usually consummated as a cost-cutting measure but also to compete with non-bank providers of financial services.
Suggested Strategies
• Strengthen customer relationships by community involvement
• Communicate benefits of online presence clearly• Look for acquisitions that are compelling strategically
and financially• Handle major international operations from India to gain
expenses benefit• Position itself as a Global bank focusing on Indian
consumers benefit• Innovative products in emerging businesses like
mortgage, equity, consumer finance
