This PPT slide, part of the 26-slide Porter's Five Forces PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured analysis of the dynamics between hardware makers and their suppliers, emphasizing how these relationships are evolving as cost-cutting becomes a priority. It categorizes the suppliers into 4 segments: operating systems, processor makers, contract manufacturers, and component makers. Each segment is assessed based on existing relationships, supplier leverage, and the rationale behind these trends.
In the operating systems section, it highlights Microsoft's dominance, with over 80% market share, and notes the importance of hardware compatibility for PC makers. The processor makers' segment underscores Intel's significant market presence, supplying 85% of processors, while also mentioning the competitive landscape with companies like Motorola. The increasing demand for advanced computing power is noted as a driving factor for reliance on cutting-edge technology.
The contract manufacturers' section indicates a shift towards outsourcing as PC OEMs look to reduce costs. This trend suggests that contract manufacturers will gain leverage by taking on more responsibilities within the value chain. The component makers' segment points out the critical role of suppliers in providing essential components for PC assembly, indicating a reliance on affordable suppliers as margins tighten.
The rationale section across all categories suggests that while certain players maintain dominant positions, emerging competitors and technological advancements will alter the landscape. The slide concludes with a note on the pace of innovation and increased competition, which is expected to drive a general increase in supplier leverage across the board. This analysis provides valuable insights for decision-makers considering their supplier strategies in a rapidly changing market.
