P3 Apply Porter’s five forces model and to evaluate the competitive forces of a given market
sector for an organization.
Competitor analysis in marketing and in strategic management that helps in assessment of
strengths and weaknesses of existing and emerging competitors (Verbeke, 2013.). It helps in
giving offensive and defensive strategic tools to identify opportunities and threats. There are
various kinds of tools to gain competitive advantage and accessing them in proper way that are
as follows:

Porter's five force model:
Porter's five force model helps in identify or evaluate five competitive forces that give
shape to industry and also helps in identify strengths and weaknesses. In porter's five forces in
which includes that are as follows:
Threat of new entrants
Bargaining power of buyers:
The main and powerful buyers that forces to flip down prices, demanding better quality
products and services all are result of higher competition in marketplace. Buyers get powerful if
they get negotiate by leveraging to industry participants.
There are some factors that illustrate about bargaining power of buyers:
No. of consumers:
The bargaining power of buyers are low as they are mentioned in switching cost that are
major barrier while enter into new market (Grover and Kohli, 2013.). In that case no forward
integration for buyers.
Brand image:
The Jaguar land rover have strong brand image so buyers attach emotionally with their
products and services because they are manufacturer of premium luxury cars.
Bargaining power of suppliers:
Bargaining power of suppliers is one of important forces in industry analysis that states
about bargaining power of buyers that pressurize on suppliers that increase price, lower their
quality and reducing availability of products and services (Wang and Verma, 2012.). In case of
jaguar Land rover they have less no. of suppliers so the bargaining power of suppliers are less in
that case.
Threat of substitutes:
In threat of substitution includes same or similar product and services offered by an
organisation as it similar to other industry (Wheelen and et.al ., 2017). The threat of substitute in
which level of risk should be evaluated that an organisation can replacement by their substitutes.
Price brand:
In context of Jaguar land rover their threat of switch to another product is low the reason
Is they have strong brand image in marketplace that distinctive from other major competitors.
Buyers willingness:

The another main factor that is willingness of consumers to buy their products and
services because they provide highly efficient and with good quality that are eco friendly in
luxury with premium cars.
Threat of entry:
New entrants consider in industry for new capacity and willingness to gain new market
share that brings pressure on pricing, costs and rate of investment that are important attributes in
enhancing of competition. It particularly when new entrants diversify in other markets for
leveraging existing capabilities and flow of cash to increase competition level.
In barriers of entry in context of Land rover that are as follows:
Economies of scale:
In economies of scale when jaguar launch XH they require high investment for build new
cars that are environmental friendly and develop for a specific target market (Verbeke, 2013.).
So in that case new entrant is high as other can imitate that concept.
Knowledge and technology:
For an organisation technological up gradation are very much important to lead in
market, in context of jaguar land rover they are enough competitive in market. Organisation have
to adopt technology as per the market demand and supply attributes.
Competitive rivalry:
Competitive rivalry that states about extent to which competition exist among firms or
industries. Fierce rivalry hampers profit share and leads towards cutting in pricing, enhancement
in advertisement expenditure and expenditure on spending in service or product improvements
(Wang and Verma, 2012.)..
From the following attributes competitive rivalry of Jaguar land rover can be understand.
No. of competitors:
In auto mobile industry large no. of competitors are exist such as in luxury cars such as
BMW and Mercedes and many more.
Exit barriers:
Sometimes for an organisation to enter into new market are very much difficult due to
the lots of barriers in organisation. In context of jaguar land rover they conduct through research
before entering into market. So that they by conducting research and development can gain large
market share and easily expand into market.

Product quality:
Jaguar to build an maintain highly premium and luxurious cars company invest huge
money by bring continuously improvement to enhance their quality.
After analysing each and every aspect organisation have to evaluate weaknesses that face
by an organisation and by taking necessary steps it can easily eradicate them (Schrader,
Freimann and Seuring, 2012). In that case the appropriate strategy that use by them to reach at
desirable goals and objectives. They use cost leadership in which they have to provide products
and services at moderate cost in comparison to other than their fierce competitors. It is one of
most effective way to resolve all major concerns that face by Jaguar in that competitive world. It
helps to reach at large no. of consumers and build an strong brand image by offering high
quality.
TASK 4
P4 Apply a range of theories, concepts and models, interpret and devise strategic planning for a
given organisation.

Porter's generic strategies:
In porter's generic strategy in which many components consist in it that are as follows:
Cost leadership strategy:
Porter's generic strategy is the best way to gain competitive advantage and it is best way
to takes away from competitors. It can be possible by reducing cost by adopting industry average
price. Land rover SUV pricing varies according to markets, demography and location, they use
original part of engines by using penetration of pricing and coming with innovation so that they
maintain higher price.
Differentiation strategy:
In differentiation involves making and bringing products and services that different from
other organisations that attract consumers (Alsudiri, Al-Karaghouli and Eldabi, 2013.). In case

with efficient engines are attracting factors that differ from their competitors.
Focus strategy:
In focus structure concentrate on a significant niche market and by accessing needs and
wants of consumers develop specified products and services. They majorly build products for

used by it. Evaluation of that product line denotes about that totally focus on strategy of differ
their product from their competitors that can be possible by technological innovation and by
adopting new product line. It spends huge money on research and development after that it has
low investment in R&D comparatively to their competitors. Hence it has limited with low
savings of cost in their product and activities. It has low presence in emerging market
comparatively to their competitors that is an great opportunity for them to attract priced products.
On other hand land rover has presence in market compared with jaguar. It has products such as
Free lander and discovery for medium class people.
