Analisis Eksternal Sebagai Upaya Pengembangan Bisnis Perdagangan Internasional Baru (Studi Kasus: PT. GFA)

Indonesia is known as an agricultural country with abundant natural wealth and the majority of its population work as farmers. Agricultural products in Indonesia are in excess supply, while market demand for agricultural products abroad is very large. PT. GFA is a company that exports agricultural products from local farmers and SMEs which exports on HS07 and HS09. From this research it was found that the government has a very large role in the export business, for example through international agreements. From economic factors, there was an increase in vegetable exports but a decrease in coffee exports. From a socio-cultural perspective, PT. GFA can be sourced from local farmers. The existence of technological factors makes it easier for PT. GFA in marketing and control. Furthermore, PT. GFA has moderate buyer bargaining power, as evidenced by the Indonesian market penetration of trade value in Asia. However, the bargaining power of suppliers at PT. GFA is high, this is because the company does not have the goods but takes them from suppliers. On the other hand, the threat of small substance products is because HS07 and HS09 are commodities that cannot be replaced. Lastly, PT.GFA has a low threat of new entrants because to become an exporter requires quite a large amount of capital.

Major Driving Forces for The Indian SME Pharmaceutical Industry: Using Porter's Five Forces Framework for A Comparative Analysis

The author aims to study the major driving forces that affect the operational efficiency of the Indian pharmaceutical industry with special reference to the SME pharmaceutical companies in India. For this, Porter's Five Force Model is used as a frame of reference to gauge the effect of the various environmental and regulatory forces that affect the working of the Indian SME pharmaceutical industry, using Regression Analysis as the main tool. The reliability and the Regression equation derived from the Regression Analysis showed that competitive rivalry among existing firms is the strongest force, followed by the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, and the threat of substitute products in that order. Many researchers have studied the Porter model in theory, and others have studied the different aspects of the pharmaceutical industry. However, there needs to be more research on the analysis of the pharma industry using the Porter model, apart from the pioneering work of Michael Dobbs. This study follows in his footprints and applies the Porter model to the Indian pharma industry with special reference to the SME units. The industry will find this research of practical value, especially for SME industries that can use the outcomes of this study to devise their strategies for growth and competition assessment.

Improving competitive strategic decisions of Chinese coal companies toward green transformation: A hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model

The growth of renewable energy has accelerated the decline of the coal industry. Therefore, coal enterprises urgently need to make the strategic decision toward green transformation to enhance their competitiveness. This research proposes an improved multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework to help coal enterprises in their strategic decision-making. First, based on an analysis of macro environment, industry environment, and enterprise internal environment, a mixed network structure model is constructed; then, the priority of three competitive strategy schemes is analyzed. Based on this priority, sensitivity analysis is used to verify the impact of indicators and external environment on the final decision-making results. The results show that: (1) Differentiation strategy is optimal for coal enterprises over the green transition period. (2) There are seven key indicators that affect the stability of strategic decision-making. These are the development trend of green economy, the concept of green culture, the threat of potential entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of buyers, the enhanced allocation of green resources, and the rise of transformation costs. (3) The threat of potential entrants, the enhancement of green resource allocation ability, and the increase of transformation cost greatly influence the final decision. (4) The bargaining power of suppliers and buyers only affects the order of differentiation and centralization strategy. (5) The development trend of green economy and the concept of green culture exert little influence on the ranking of differentiation and centralization strategy, and the changing trend is relatively stable. Finally, based on the results, competitive strategic suggestions for coal enterprises from three aspects and policy suggestions are put forward to ensure the green transformation of coal enterprises from the macro level.

Application of competitive forces in the business intelligence of Japanese SMEs

Michael Porter's classic framework, ‘Five Forces’ presents the state of competition in an industry with five basic forces, such as the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of customers, the threat of substitute products or services, and the industry jockeying for position among current competitors. Porter also shows how ‘value chains’ were the key to maintaining competitive advantage. In this paper, Japanese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) examine the relationship between each of the five forces, as well as activities in value chains and information technology (IT) strategy. Empirical findings in this research present how threats of new entrants and the bargaining power of customers are positively related to firms' IT strategy as well as business strategy, while other forces are negatively related to those strategies. The results on value chain activities imply that Japanese SMEs are focusing their business, as well as IT, strategy mainly on their primary activities, such as purchasing and logistics, manufacturing/operations, logistics/shipping, marketing and sales, and servicing.

Bariatric Surgery: Assessing Opportunities for Value Innovation

Obesity has been increasing over the past two decades, and the amount of medical and media attention given to bariatric surgery as a promising option for morbidly obese individuals is growing. The growth of bariatric surgery also has been attributed to improved surgical technique, the increase in surgeons trained in laparoscopic procedures, as well increased public awareness with celebrities having successfully undergone surgery. The number of surgeons and hospitals offering bariatric services is increasing. How then does a surgeon or a hospital develop a competitive strategy? The first step is to understand the health-care industry. The key forces are rivalry among present competitors, and the bargaining power of suppliers and buyers. While bariatric surgery currently is in a growth phase, time and competition will force practitioners to compete on the basis of price, unless they find true competitive advantage. Value innovation, is a means of creating new marketing space by looking across the conventionally defined boundaries of business--across substitute industries, across strategic groups, across buyer groups, across complementary product and service offerings, and across the functional-emotional orientation of an industry. One can compete by offering similar services focusing primarily on cost efficiencies as the key to profitability. Alternatively, one can break free from the pack by innovating and focusing on delivering superior value to the customer. As the market for bariatric surgery becomes increasingly overcrowded, profitable growth is not sustainable without developing a clear differential advantage in the market. Value innovation allows you to develop that advantage.

Overcoming technological dependency: The case of Electric Arc (Jamaica) Ltd., a small firm in a small developing country

It is axiomatic that technical progress is a major contributor to the economic growth of nations. Developing countries with scarce indigenous technological capabilities must of necessity resort to importing technology as a principal means of incorporating technical change into their productive structure. Over the past 20 years, considerable research has been undertaken on the costs, effectiveness, limitations, and approprtateness of technology transfer to developing countries. One aspect of the research findings is that contractual arrangements for technology transfer are frequently circumscribed by various restrictive clauses aimed at preserving the suppliers’ technological monopoly, which have the effect of inhibiting the recipients’ effective assimilation. adaptation and generation of technology. These findings have been corroborated in the case of the Caribbean by examination of the terms of technology agreements in Guyana. Trinidad and Jamaica in the 1970s (Odle. 1979; Odle and Arthur. 1985). and Trinidad in the 1980s (McGuire and Joseph, 1985). One limitation of this type of research is that other, noncontractual, methods of accessing technology used by local enterprises are not evaluated. By focusing on contractual transfer, which tends to reflect the imperfect nature of technology markets and the superior bargaining power of suppliers. a partial and unrepresentative picture of the total technology transfer situation of the country may be created. Even where a formal contract is found, its terms may not be an accurate or adequate reflection of the actual technological behavior of suppliers and recipients. In addition, examination of a written agreement does not capture the nuances of the ongoing business relationships between the two parties, or their motivations especially the motivations of the recipient enterprises in entering into agreements considered unfavorable from the broader social or national point of view. Partly to compensate for such limitations. another stream of research has utilized the case study method. By examining the technological behavior and performance of a single enterprise over a period of time, researchers have been able to gain valuable insights into the processes of technological learning, in-plant technical change, successful bargaining strategies, and the motivations and strategies of management (Maxwell. 1977; Dahlman, 1978; Hoffman. 1986). A further
