Porters 5 Force Analysis
S
Bargaining Power of Buyers: Moderate
S
S
S
Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Moderate
S
S
S
S
Evidence: high profit margins exist
Niche market, little direct competiton
Computer components and assembly have become commodities
Competitive advantage lies in the programming, not the physical interface
They have 3 main manufacturers
Threat of New Substitutes: High
S
S
Classic teaching methods still dominate the educational market
Apple and Samsung tablets can offer “learning” apps that mimic those offered by
Leapfrog.
5 Force Analysis Continued
S Competitive Rivalry within the Industry: Moderate
S There is no definitive market dominance
S Educational Technology for individual users is a relatively new
industry (use of the “pad”)
S Threat of New Entrants: High
S App market is vast and easy to gain market presence
S Brand loyalty has yet to be established – users “children”
unable to recognize the difference between a Leapfrog product
and an Apple Product.
