This PPT slide, part of the 63-slide Industry Analysis PowerPoint presentation, presents the Industry Structure Matrix, a framework designed to analyze competitive dynamics across various industries. It categorizes industries based on 2 axes: the number of competitors and the sources of achievable advantage. The matrix is divided into 4 quadrants, each representing a distinct competitive scenario.

In the "Fragmented" quadrant, many competitors exist,, but none can secure significant advantages. This scenario often leads to low profitability across the board. Examples provided include barber shops and dry cleaning services, which typically face intense competition without clear leaders.

The "Specialty" quadrant features many competitors as well,, but successful firms tend to dominate specific niches. Here, niche-dominant players can achieve high profitability, as seen in industries like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. This indicates that while competition is present, there are opportunities for firms to carve out profitable segments.

Moving to the "Stalemate" quadrant, it highlights industries with few competitors where none can establish a sustainable advantage. These sectors often experience boom-and-bust cycles, as illustrated by paper production and airlines. This suggests a volatile environment where firms struggle to maintain consistent performance.

Finally, the "Scale" quadrant is characterized by a limited number of competitors, with one or 2 firms holding significant market power. This scenario often leads to high barriers to entry for new players, as seen in industries like memory chips. The matrix effectively illustrates how the structure of competition influences strategic decisions and potential profitability across various sectors.
