This is represented by the fact that JD stores supply a wide range of competitively priced sports and leisure clothing, footwear and accessories under a mix of brands (JD Annual Report and Accounts, 2014) Therefore using a wide range of suppliers makes it easy for JD to choose between the prices and products offered, making the bargaining power of suppliers low and the bargaining power of JD Sports much higher. This is also reflected by the fact that JD Sports also state they acquire brands and retailers in which JD themselves can further develop and therefore exploit in order to ensure that their overall product offers remain uniquely appealing to the customer but also to JD Sports (JD Annual Report and Accounts, 2014).…

    By identifying the strengths, the threats, and the weaknesses; we were able to identify three opportunities that provided revenue and margin growth. We then applied 5 Force analyses to see which one presented the best opportunity. One, Ducati could enter into the cruiser market, but the high cost of entry, Harley Davidson’s dominance in the market, and possible retaliatory implications present high barriers of entry. The second option is build a lower cost motorcycle that would compete with Japanese on price. This option would allow Ducati to gain in market share, but in doing so would do more harm to the image as a high quality and performance machine. Third option would be to grow the brand through use of e-commerce and targeting women bikers which currently only represent 8 to 9 percent of Ducati’s current sales. This option posses the smallest amount of capital investment and could be implemented right away.…
