Porter’s Five Forces Analysis
Porter’s five forces:
Bargaining power of the suppliers- The supply of industries of taxi has a stable position in the market that is not impacted through competition at the level of market. the supply side services have some features, customers face problems in converting as well as conversion cost is extremely high (Arbatani et al., 2019). There is a facility of integration in the industry of taxi through the suppliers.
Bargaining power of the buyers- It influences the profits of the present organisations as they can reduce the prices. Integration is facilitated forward in the market. The seller organisation has many small companies.
Thereat of new entrance- there is an existence of this threat because of the economies of scale in business expansion, policies, and cost of conversion as well as degree of differentiation.
Threat of the substitutes increases the profitability of the current products.
Rivalry among the competitors- One of the major threats to the company is because of its competitors which are present in the market. Bad experiences of customers can make them switch to other companies. The rules of government for the taxi providers are not clear in this scenario and any changes in the rules and regulation can cause damage (Taxi Services Commission 2021).
The business of taxi service’s biggest objective is to run an aggressive campaign of marketing as well as capture at least 65% of the shares of the market.
This particular idea of business was chosen by me as it offers great opportunities with the technological advancements. It is very easy to expand as well as broaden the business. In order to make the business a success, there is a need of strong business sense along with some specific skills
Following is the list of the skills that I have which will help me in taking the business idea forward:
- Having a curious as well as creative mind- I am aware of the big picture for taking my business plan ahead. Curiosity is as important as intelligence for successfully running a business. I have raised my creativity along with the curiosity and through this I am sure that I will be able to make a huge difference.
- Communication skills- I can communicate effectively with people for motivating them and making sure that all of us are moving ahead with the same goal. Good communication skills will help me in dealing with my current as well as potential customers.
- Resilience- Resilience means adapting to the adversity. It is not always necessary that things will go according to the plan. And when this happens, people need resilience. Setbacks cannot be avoided in every line of the business and they do not seem pleasant. Building Resilience helps me in staying calm as well as focused.
- Selling the vision- Not every person who embarks on the journey of becoming an owner is successful. Vision is one of the most important energy that is required for driving the owners. It is not just about defining the vision, but even selling it.
The skills which I think I lack are the financial skills and the skills of project planning as well as strategising and both of these are very important for the success of a business. I need to develop skills for the maintenance of stream of finances for staying in business, for this, I need to familiarise myself with the fundamentals of business finance. It is also very important for me to know the fundamentals of project planning and managing them properly. Properly strategising the projects is closely related to the stage of planning. This is a very important skill that I lack and is important for my business plan.
It is very important to make a reasonable company’s valuation. A good valuation can make a difference in many aspects. The purpose of forecasting the valuation of the business is to see the cash flow of the future along with the stock value of it. The business of taxi service’s biggest objective is to run an aggressive campaign of marketing as well as capture at least 65% of the shares of the market. It is expected that the organisation will report a per share loss of $0.35 against revenues of $5.34 billion.

The implementation of information system in the establishment of the business is very important (Wali 2018). Different level of management demands different kind of information for the development of the business. The various information system required are:
- Executive support system

In the global era, the information systems are playing a significant role in the business for meeting their strategic goals.
