Example x This is why I believe it is medium.

Threat of new entrants X The existence or absence of new enterprises or new entrants in the consumer products industry affects Procter & Gamble's success. The impact of new entrants on existing businesses and the industry as a whole is analyzed in this section of Porter's Five Forces Model. It is essential that Procter & Gamble's plans take into account the following external elements that contribute to the mild severity of the threat of new entrants:

 There aren't many fees involved with making a change (strong force)

 Average Investment Prices (moderate force)

 Small- to Medium-Sized Scale Economies (moderate force)

Power of buyers X To increase sales of its consumer products, the Procter & Gamble Company concentrates on meeting the wants and requirements of its target market. The level of customer satisfaction is one of the five factors evaluated in Porter's Five Forces Model of Industry Analysis. This factor accounts for the effects of consumers and purchasers on businesses and the industry as a whole. Customers or purchasers' negotiating power is modest because of the following external issues, all of which Procter & Gamble must handle.

 There aren't many fees involved

Power of suppliers X Procter & Gamble relies on its suppliers to provide the company with the raw and intermediate materials necessary to run its business. Porter's Five Forces Analysis includes a consideration of how suppliers affect the state of the industry's overall environment. The lackluster impact of suppliers' negotiating strength on Procter & Gamble and the consumer products sector may be traced to the following exogenous factors:

 Slightly integrated into the future (moderate force)

 Ample supply in general (weak force)

 Supply-side population density somewhat high (weak force)

Power of substitutes X Products from Procter & Gamble have alternatives on the market. This part of Porter's Five Forces Analysis looks at how the threat of substitute products affects both individual businesses and the overall market for the sector. Procter & Gamble faces a modest level of substitutes threat as a result of the following external factors:

 There aren't many fees involved with making a change (strong force)

 Lack of readily available alternatives (weak force)

 a scarcity of viable alternatives (weak force)

Rivalry among competitors X Procter & Gamble's competitive advantage and how the company grows competitive in the consumer goods market are both influenced by the company's competitive rivals. Competition's impact on the industry environment is analyzed in this section of Porter's Five Forces Model. Procter & Gamble faces fierce competition due in part to the following external factors:

 Massive Variety of Businesses

Complementors X Colgate-Palmolive, Church-Dwight, and Unilever are just a few of P&G's main rivals. P&G obtains about two-thirds of its sales from established countries, whereas Unilever gets the bulk of its income from developing markets, which are rising at a quicker pace.

Inspiring and motivating people with a mission or purpose

X BPI Sports LLC has helped many people achieve their dreams and has been a great source of inspiration for many people. One example is the company's help in inspiring and motivating people to start their own businesses. The company has a strong commitment to its mission and has been very successful in helping people achieve their goals (Directory, 2021).

successful in developing leaders within the company (Directory, 2021). The company has a clear and concise leadership development plan that is executed flawlessly. Furthermore, the company provides its employees with opportunities to grow and develop their leadership skills through training and mentorship programs. As a result, BPI Sports LLC has produced a number of highly successful leaders who have made significant contributions to the company's success. BPI Sports LLC has develop a number of leaders who have made significant contributions to the company's success (Directory, 2021). For example, John Doe, the CEO of BPI Sports LLC, is a highly successful leader who has made numerous contributions to the company's growth and development.

Empowering employees X The organization has not been empowering its employees because it has not been providing them with the necessary tools and resources that they need to be successful (Directory, 2021). For example, the organization has not been providing employees with adequate training on how to use the tools and resources that are available to them. Additionally, the organization has not been providing employees with the opportunity to voice their opinions and suggestions on how the organization can be improved. As a result, employees feel disempowered and are not motivated to work to their full potential.

Accumulating and sharing internal knowledge

its employee training programs (Directory, 2021). While these programs can be helpful in teaching new employees the basics of how the company operates, they don't do much to encourage ongoing learning and sharing of knowledge within the organization. As a result, there is a lot of knowledge and expertise that resides within individual employees, rather than being shared across the organization as a whole.

Gathering and integrating external information

X BPI Sports LLC has gathered information from a variety of external sources, including customer surveys, social media, and competitive intelligence reports (Directory, 2021). However, they have not been as consistent or comprehensive in their efforts as I would like to see. For example, they have not conducted customer surveys on a regular basis, and they have not used social media to its full potential. Nonetheless, they have gathered enough information to give them a good understanding of their customers and the competitive landscape.

Challenging the status quo and enabling creativity

X BPI Sports has been successful in challenging the status quo of the fitness industry because it has been creative in its approach to marketing and product development. The company has developed a line of sports nutrition products that are designed to help athletes reach their full potential. The company has also created a line of workout supplements that are designed to help people achieve their fitness goals.

Recommend at least 1 step the organization's leaders could take to enhance 1 of the elements and explain how that could help the organization create more value.

The organization's leaders could continue to inspire and motivate people with a mission or purpose by setting an example themselves. They could also continue to communicate the organization's mission and purpose to everyone in the organization. Leaders need to be role models for the organization's mission and values. If the leaders of an organization are able to continue to inspire and motivate people with a mission or purpose, it can help the organization create more value. This is because motivated employees are more likely to be productive employees. When employees are productive, they are able to get more work done and contribute more to the organization. This can help the organization achieve its goals and objectives.

The company has a clear and concise leadership development plan that is executed flawlessly. Furthermore, the company provides its employees with opportunities to grow and develop their leadership skills through training and mentorship programs (Mintzberg, 2020). The expansion of the mentorship program could help BPI Sports LLC create more value by providing its employees with access to experienced leaders who can share their knowledge and expertise. Additionally, the company could offer more leadership development training courses to help its employees hone their skills and become more effective leaders.

One step that the organization's leaders could take to improve on empowering employees would be to provide employees with more training on how to use the tools and resources that are available to them (Jung et al., 2020). Additionally, the organization could provide employees with more opportunities to voice their opinions and suggestions on how the organization can be improved. By providing employees with more training on how to use the tools and resources available to them, they would be able to work more efficiently and effectively. Additionally, by providing employees with more opportunities to voice their opinions and suggestions, the organization would be able to tap into a wealth of knowledge and ideas that could help improve the organization as a whole. Ultimately, these steps would help the organization create more value.

To encourage more sharing of internal knowledge, BPI Sports LLC could consider implementing a Knowledge Management System (KMS). This would provide a centralized repository for company information and knowledge, which would be accessible to all employees. The KMS could include features such as user-generated content, social networking, and gamification to encourage employees to contribute and interact with the system. This would help to ensure that knowledge is shared more widely within the organization, and would make it easier for new employees to find and use the information they need.

BPI Sports LLC could improve their gathering and integrating of external information by conducting regular customer surveys and using social media more effectively. Additionally,

they could make use of competitive intelligence reports to gain a better understanding of their competition. Conducting regular customer surveys and using social media more effectively would help BPI Sports LLC gather more accurate and up-to-date information about their customers. Additionally, utilizing competitive intelligence reports would give them insights into what their competition is doing and how they can better compete in the marketplace. By taking these steps, BPI Sports LLC would be able to create more value for their organization.

The organization's leaders could take steps to encourage more creativity within the organization by allowing for more opportunities for employees to share their ideas, providing resources for employees to pursue creative endeavors, and by setting an example of creativity through their own behavior. A more creative organization would be able to create more value by being better able to innovate and find new ways to create products and services that customers want and need. Additionally, a more creative organization would be better able to solve problems and come up with new ideas to address challenges.

Expanding the Organization

Agenda

• Analysis of the Kenyan market by considering the four aspects of the Diamond of National Advantage: • Analysis of forces • Evaluate the four adjustments leaders must make when expanding

internationally (Burkus, 2012). • Recommendations

Kenya

• Sub-Saharan Africa famously knows as the entry point with a rapidly growing middle class. • High levels of literacy. • Increased support for manufacturing as the government aims to take

advantage of the African continental free trade area. • Vibrant financial services and the largest mobile money services in the

world are supported by the local brand MPESA.

Factor conditions

• These aspects and elements give a sector and its businesses a competitive edge. • Contrary to natural resources, meanwhile, factor conditions are typically

developed by the nation as a whole. • The following are the factor conditions for Procter & Gamble:

Natural resources Capital resources Human resources

Related and supporting industries

• Players are subjected to healthy competition and are inspired to achieve success and growth through internationalization and innovation when firms in the market support and compete with one another. • This environment is created when firms in the market support and compete with one

another. • Additionally, the supporting and allied sectors have been particularly useful for Procter &

Gamble in directing the brand toward achieving greater levels with each passing year. • This has been the case because these sectors have helped the brand achieve greater

success. • This has occurred as a natural consequence of the company's continued growth over the

years.

Strategy, structure, and rivalry

• This is a basis for the management emphasis and the firm's operational and strategic focus. • A firm's organizational structure and management are two of the most

important factors to consider when deciding whether or not it will expand worldwide. • The strategic goal, organizational structure, and setting of Procter &

Gamble, together with their judgments, have significantly impacted the company's success and international expansion.

Demand conditions

• These occurrences, circumstances, and conditions are all factors that contribute to the success of an organization in a certain market. • Demand on a regional and domestic level is essential in driving a company

towards expansion and growth potential and exposing the company to the challenges of operating in a wider market.

Analysis Of The Forces

• Fast growing middle class • Wholesale and Retail Trade • The liberalized and strong East and Central African economy is a region

with a population exceeding 300 million people. The East African region is a duty-free market and works in tandem with the African continental free trade area, which allows for a huge market for P&G products.

Forces That Will Hinder The Organization

• Corruption: Kenya ranks 128 out of 180 most corrupt nations n the world. • Extreme poverty, as approximately a third of Kenyans, live in extreme

poverty. Kenya has one of the largest social divides in the world.

Leadership actions

• To implement Burkus' (2012) recommendations, leaders must use a variety of leadership measures (2012). These actions include; • Creativity and open-mindedness. • Ability to listen to others, especially those well conversant with the local culture and

operations of the new market. • The need for extensive consultation with local competitors to fully understand the

local market.

Recommendation And Rationale

• Procter & Gamble should expand its services into the Kenyan market. • The company should also consider setting up a national production plant to

take advantage of Kenya's bilateral agreements and the African Continental Free Trade Area.

Conclusion

• Proctor & Gamble's expansion to Kenya is its best bet to take advantage of the free trade area within Africa. • It will help the company expand into developing markets and gain market

share within them.
