3.1.1 Five forces in shoes industries
3.1.1.1 Threat of substitute
A customer can easily deviate and switch to a new footwear just as quick, depending on if the price is right, its uniqueness and its quality. With so much resources available it is very easy to replicate a firms own product. Hence threat of substitutes is high.
3.1.1.2 Bargaining power of buyers
There will be a weak buyer group concentration towards our industry. This is due to our company is the first innovator of this kind of shoes in the industry therefore it makes us the only supplier of the products. In this case, buyers will have low bargaining power towards our industry. We have predicted that buyer’s costs will be high due to there are limited supplier that offer this kind of product therefore it will also lower down their bargaining power. The degree of standardization of supplier’s product will be low which will cause the bargaining power of the
buyers to be low. In terms of the threat of backward integration, we believe that our product will be hard to imitate and to be understood due to its special design that allow the heels to be changed flexibly into flats. Therefore, buyers will also own a low bargaining power. In addition, our products will have the advantage of first innovator and it is differentiated which will lead our company to gain a strong market power like charging a premium price.
