Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) (PowerPoint PPT Slide Deck)

DESCRIPTION

Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) is a framework for industry situation analysis. It makes relations among market structure, market conduct, and market performance. Within this construct, it provides a complete understanding of current industry structure, players, conduct and their competitive performance over time. SCP also offers a causal theoretical explanation for firm performance through economic conduct on incomplete markets.

SCP was first published by economists Edward Chamberlin and Joan Robinson in 1933; and later further developed by Joe S. Bain in his book "Industrial Organization" in 1959. Numerous consulting firms (such as McKinsey) and business academics (such as Michael Porter) have since adopted and enhanced this model.

In the modern version of SCP, there are 4 key components highlight:

•  Market Conditions
•  (Market) Structure
•  (Market) Conduct
•  (Market) Performance

The SCP framework is considered a pillar of Industrial Organization Theory.

The SCP framework is invaluable for dissecting the intricate dynamics of market interactions. By examining the interplay between market structure, conduct, and performance, executives can pinpoint the underlying factors driving industry trends. This PPT offers a granular look at how external conditions like legal, political, and technological factors influence market behavior, providing a comprehensive toolkit for strategic decision-making.

The presentation breaks down the SCP analysis into a structured 4-stage approach. It starts with studying basic conditions and moves through examining industry structure, predicting conduct, and evaluating performance. This methodical approach ensures that all relevant aspects are considered, making it easier to identify actionable insights and predict future market movements.

The document also highlights the importance of feedback loops within the SCP framework. It explains how market performance can influence conduct and structure, and vice versa. This cyclical understanding is crucial for developing strategies that are both adaptive and robust, ensuring long-term competitive advantage.
