U.S. Steel industry. What conclusion can you draw from this? Degree of Rivalry: Mini mills were being used by the foreign competition which mean they were able to produce steel at less expensive rates passing that on ot their customers. Barriers to entry: Starting in the 1970’s since there were no trade barriers companies overseas were able to manufacture and sell steel for a much lower price here in the United States therefore affecting companies domestically. Supplier power: Once steel became

Delta Force During the 1970’s the United States became the favorite whipping boy for any terrorist group that was worthy of bearing the name. They had realized that American interests throughout the world could be struck at with little or no retaliation. At this point in the century America had sickened of warfare in Vietnam and was both unwilling and unable to strike back at the pests of terrorism. Our government did little more than apply Band-Aids to wounds while ignoring the infection

I. Porter’s Five Forces Analysis of the Steel Industry & Firm Level capabilities analysis 1. Competition from substitutes Increasing substitutes in the form of plastics‚ aluminum and advanced composites. 2. Threat of Entry High barriers to entry in the integrated mill segment. However‚ with the mini-mills‚ the barriers are being lowered due to lower costs (a tenth of those in the integrated mills per ton of steel produced). 3. Competition from rivals Highly competitive since products are

Pearl River delta The Pearl River Delta is the low-lying area surrounding the Pearl River estuary where the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea. Plans for the area City planners in south China have laid out an ambitious plan to merge together the nine cities that lie around the Pearl River Delta. The "Turn the Pearl River Delta into One" scheme will create a 16‚000 sq mile urban area that is 26 times larger geographically than Greater London‚ or twice the size of Wales. The new mega-city

market share‚ and to increase it further‚ it would have required additional price cut. So‚ the option with the firm was to expand its operation in the segment of specialty steel segment‚ which is typical mini mill product line. The alternative was to increase beam size capacity and directly challenge large integrated steel companies. Due to constraint of the rating of available rolling mill‚ it could make only small section beam. Manufacturing of medium and large section beams needed higher capacity

Carbon steel is steel in which the main interstitial alloying constituent is carbon in the range of 0.12–2.0%. The American Iron and Steel Institute(AISI) defines carbon steel as the following: "Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is specified or required for chromium‚cobalt‚ molybdenum‚ nickel‚ niobium‚ titanium‚ tungsten‚ vanadium or zirconium‚ or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0
