Marketing Question

Perform a 1-page Six Forces analysis of the industry where Crown Cork and Seal competes. Define what is the relevant industry and cover each force but spend more time on the forces that you think are the most important. Also, you do not have to include all possible factors that influence each force (as I do in the lecture); just pick the factors that you perceive as being the most relevant. Label each force as Strong, Medium, or Weak, where strong means adverse to profitability and weak means favorable. Overall, is the industry attractive or unattractive for a firm to create/capture value?

Make sure to have a clear subsection for each force on your report.

Main key points of assignment

Define the Industry

What industry is Crown in

  • Dont just blindly say metal containers think if thats accurate)

Analyze ALL SIX FORCES (with sections)

You need clear subsections (this is required):

Make sure to have a clear subsection for each force

So your paper structure should look like:

  • Rivalry
  • Threat of New Entrants
  • Substitutes
  • Complements
  • Buyer Power
  • Supplier Power

Label each force:

For EACH force, you must say:

  • Strong bad for profits
  • Medium
  • Weak good for profits

Focus MORE on important forces

  • Dont give equal space to all 6
  • Go deeper on the ones that actually matter

Final conclusion (VERY IMPORTANT)

You must answer:

Is the industry attractive or unattractive?

So basically overall :

The paper must include all 6 forces, each with its own section.

For each force, label it Strong, Medium, or Weak and explain why.

End with a final conclusion: is the industry attractive or not?

Only focus on the most important factors for each force (not everything).
