Competitor analysis and competitive advantage
Competitor analysis helps an organization in identifying their main competitors who can
give tough competition to them (Shadman and et. al., 2021). Competitor analysis further helps an
organization to identify changes that their need to bring within their business operations and
strategies so that they can sustain within the tough competitive marketing environment (Caber,
Albayrak and İsmayıllı, 2017). There are various kinds of frameworks that can be used for
analysing competition for Care Agency LTD. like Porters five force analysis model. This model
helps in analysing five main forces that can become a threat for an organization and affect their
competitive advantage, these five forces are as follows:
Threat of new entrant: Threat of this force is moderate. Nowadays need of nursing homes,
residential care homes, hospitals etc. is increasing because of which need and demand of nurses
is also increasing due to this various nursing agencies are opening that provides nursing a
support to nursing care, residential care homes etc. But opening a nursing Agency that provides
nursing support require huge investment, and experience which makes it difficult for new
entrants to enter into this market.
Bargaining power of suppliers: Threat of this factor is high this is because suppliers in this field
are low in number due to which their power increases (Yang, 2020). Due to this, power of
suppliers in this field increases as Care Agency LTD is a new start-up they will have to pay a
good amount to Suppliers for high quality products so that they can training their nurses in an
accurate manner and provide nursing support to nursing care homes, residential care homes,
hospitals etc.
Bargaining power of buyers: Threat of this force is moderate this is because there are various
kinds of agencies that can easily provide nurses support to organizations due to which nursing
homes etc. have many options to select their service but there are limited number of agencies that
provide 24*7 hours nursing support and even on weekends due to which bargaining power of
buyers becomes moderate.
