INDUSTRY PROFILE OUTLINE
This outline is only a guide. Each industry is unique, and you are responsible for adapting your profile to fit the circumstance. Form is important, but it must not replace reason.
Overview of Industry Profile Research
Learning objective: to determine the learning environement of Singapore and Australia education system.
Method: Apply an adapted model of Porter's (1980) five forces.
Student perspective and instructions: You are tasked as an analyst hired to answer a corporate-level question: should we enter this industry? You are an outsider looking in. In other words, when analyzing an industry, taking all factors into account, should you, as a corporation, enter this industry? The end result will be an understanding of what it takes to compete successfully.
Industry selection: Start with a firm that must be publicly traded to give you access to an annual report and with speculated or definable problem that is the basis of profiling the industry. You are strongly advised to choose a firm with a production function, but exceptions are possible. From your initial reading about the firm, what industries does it compete in? Make a choice of industry to be analyzed based on personal interest, firm problems, or in consultation with your mentor. The firm's primary source of revenue will in most cases define your industry choice. Maintain your focus on the questions being asked. Provide a conclusion for each section and sub-section. Note carefully the form of the conclusion provided in each section. A decision matrix should be provided at the end of each section, and an overall matrix provided in the conclusion section. Where quantitative analysis is required, provide average industry numbers expressed as ratios. Use five years of data to establish trends. Where qualitative analysis is required, provide citations to support your arguments. Assumptions and common knowledge are not accepted.

Students are not to be expected to do know all segments but sufficient to make their case out to withstand the assessment rigour.
C. Caveats
State limitations encountered in the study that prevent a complete analysis. No caveats are allowed without prior conversation with the mentor. Work-arounds are possible.
II. Socio-Economic
Learning objective:
Determine the power of various stakeholder groups likely to have an impact on future competitive moves of firms within this industry. Most texts cover in detail the many factors that can be relevant to any industry. Here the students must research their industry to find specific factors likely to impact firms within their industry. The orientation is toward the future. It is assumed that firms in the industry have adapted to past events. This material is available in magazine articles, and industry surveys, among other sources. Obviously this section will be very short for, say, the PC computer industry, and very large for traditional engineering products industry.
