An overseas bank is currently undertaking a feasibility study looking into the possible launch of a new bank in the UK

Preliminary findings suggest that the market is saturated, customers have a lot of choice and it is easy for them to switch from one bank to another.

In which area of Porter's Five Forces model would these preliminary findings be documented'?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A consensus BAM is a conceptual model that depicts the agreed view of what the organisation does or should do. It shows the high-level activities and the logical dependencies between them. By comparing the consensus BAM with the current situation, a gap analysis can identify where the organisation is not performing as desired or where there are opportunities for improvement. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Hmm, I was thinking the threat of new entrants, but bargaining power of customers makes a lot more sense given the market saturation. Option B it is!

I'm going to have to go with B on this one. The bank might as well roll out the red carpet for customers with all that switching power they have!

But wouldn't it also relate to the Threat of new entrants? If the market is saturated, it might be difficult for a new bank to enter.

The preliminary findings seem to indicate high bargaining power of customers, so I would go with option B.

That's true, it would be important to consider how easy it is for customers to switch between banks.
