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

Most structural steel failures happen at connections....where a beam connects to a column‚ where a joist connects to a beam‚ where a hanging rod connects to a beam (the Kansas City Hyatt discussed above). The Structural Engineer must design the design the steel members and give guidelines for the connections. Many people in the Construction Industry don’t understand‚ though‚ that the Structural Engineer rarely designs the connections. Why is that? Historically‚ the Steel Fabricators developed

Lehigh Steel Background- Lehigh Steel was founded in 1913 and it manufactures specialty steels for high strength‚ high use applications. In 1975 it was acquired by Palmer due to its ownership of Continuous Rolling Mill‚ a specialized equipment that convert steel intermediate shape to wire for Palmer’s bearing. The industry as a whole is highly competitive‚ even a small change in price could alter customers’ consumption decision greatly‚ keeping costs down is therefore‚ one of the most important

1. What forces drove Mittal Steel to start expanding across national borders? Mittal Steel started expanding across national borders due to government regulations along with tough competition from SAIL and Tata Steel. Mittal Steel believed that it would be more likely to experience growth if the company would transpire outside of India. The company made its first move in 1975 when it set up a steel-making plant in Indonesia. 2. Mittal Steel expanded into different nations through merges and acquisitions

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
