    Many professional athletes will continue to receive a regular salary during a serious injury that was sustained during their athletic duties, but for Cirque du Soleil performers this is not the case. When a member of Cirque du Soleil gets injured on the job they are treated like normal workers and only receive workers compensation benefits that can be thousands less a year than their normal salaries as a performer. This is a problem for the performers that lay their bodies on the line to promote Cirque du Soleil's $850 million per year business.…

    1. Based on what you have read in the case, outline a rudimentary SWOT analysis for Cirque du Soleil. Internal (S)trengths: A big part of the reason for Cirque du Soleil’s success is because of the strong workforce. Including roughly 20,000 cast members ready to be called at any time, 300 seamstress, engineers and make-up artist, 32 talent scouts and casting staff. The creators and the workers share common values and goals that help drive the elite business even further in the right direction. And with the deep pocket hotel and casinos backing them financially, makes their success hard to compete with. (W)eakness: There are two main forces behind this elite business and if one is taken out of the equation I don’t think the cirque will be able to continue bringing that originality every year.

    Cirque Du Soleil

    • 1647 Words
    • 5 Pages

    When examined through the spectacles of a Porter’s Five Forces Model, a traditional circus is generally considered an unappealing industry. Suppliers such as talented star performers and animal tamers have high bargaining power, due to the circus’ dependency on specific acts. Buyers have high power, as they are able to choose amongst various identical circus performances or alternative forms of entertainment. More still, there are an ample number of entertainments that could act as substitutes. Finally, due to a thorough public understanding of how the industry operates, there is little restriction for new circuses seeking to enter the industry. As such, rivalry is commonplace amongst traditional circuses where much of the competition is based on lowering ticket prices and production costs. However, the Porter’s Five Forces analysis on a traditional circus is not applicable when examining Cirque Du Soleil, which truly captures the essence of its slogan “We Reinvent the Circus.” Cirque has been a disruptive innovator in creating a new market for the circus industry by deviating from the boundaries of a traditional circus. At the time of the case report, the Cirque occupies a blue ocean, of little rivalry, has low supplier power, and is in a market that has high costs for entrants. Although it is true that substitutes exist in this market, and that buyers have other entertainment options, Cirque is able to attract spectators by being one of the few suppliers of such a performance. In this niche market, Cirque enjoys a weaker Porter’s five forces than a traditional circus and thus must be evaluated accordingly.…
