APPLICATION OF PORTER’S FIVE FORCES

Five Forces analysis is a technique for identify and listing those aspects of the Five Forces most relevant to the profitability of an organization at that time. Porter believes that the collective strength of the five forces determines industry profitability, through their effect on price, costs and investment requirements. (Boddy, 2014)

Michael Porter has identified five forces that are widely used to assets the structure of any industry. Porter’s five forces are:

• Rivalry among existing firms
• Threat of new entrants
• Threat of substitutes
• Bargaining power of buyers(customers)
• Bargaining power of Suppliers (Boddy, 2014)

There are many firms in bored pile services. Competitors are very abundant. There is slow market growth, so companies fight for market share. Service fixed costs are high and exist costs are high. (Boddy, 2014)

BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS

There are many suppliers in Bored Piling work, mainly need 3 suppliers. Which are

1. Bentonite (Drilling Mud Fluid) Supplier
2. Concrete Batching Plant
3. Rebar Supplier

All the suppliers can be available affluently in local market. So, suppliers power is low.

BARGAINING POWER OF CUSTOMERS (BUYERS)

1. Quotation price
2. Method of statement
3. Experience of piling contractor

THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS

There are many registered pile licensed contractors in Myanmar. All about these are over 50 companies. Pile foundation works are separate into many kinds of foundation works. Such as driving pile, press pile, bored pile, sheet pile, solider pile, spun pile, CBP/SBP wall pile and diaphragm wall etc. Building design, how many numbers of floor level include and including of basement levels which situation are determine what kind of pile foundation should be use. Most of the piling contractors in Myanmar cannot do all kind of foundation piling work, because of less machinery power and low technical power. They can do their own specialist piling job such as press pile specialist, bored pile specialist, sheet pile specialist, driving pile specialist, Diaphragm Wall specialist and so on. Now, oversea piling contractor start entry into Myanmar piling market. They can do many kind of foundation piling works. They have strong machinery power and high technique. So, the challenges were facing by Positive Pioneer company .
