10. PORTER’S 5 FORCES MODEL FOR HARLEY-DAVIDSON
Threat of new entrants(Low)
Power of customers(Low)
Very high entry barrier
§
Requires high capital investment
and is a mature industry
§
§
Low economies of scale
§
Since product is differentiated
customer tends not to be price
sensitive
Rivarly among existing firms
§
§
Harley-Davidson-Yamaha-SuzukiHonda
Harley’s help from ITC and
government allowed them to catch
up to their competitors and gain
some ground in market share
Power of suppliers(High)
§
§
Steel, basic electric equipment
and shipping of the final
motorcycles.
Harley has ’preferred suppliers’
and there is a trust between
them because suppliers generate
profit
Threat of substitutes
§
Cars, sport bikes, and scooter
bikes. BUT Harley is a luxury
vehicle, so there are few close
substituters for this
heavyweight motorcycle
