    • Threat of new entrants (or barriers to entry): From the view of current incumbents, profitable markets that yield high returns will attract new firms.
    • From the perspective of new entrants, high barriers to entry mean that the capital costs of getting into the industry make it difficult to compete with current incumbents.
  • Repositioning

    • A company that has achieved brand recognition can often survive the challenge of new entrants in a market.
  • Entry Barriers

    • The most important barriers are economies of scale, patents, access to expensive and complex technology, and strategic actions by incumbent firms designed to discourage or destroy new entrants.
  • Natural Monopolies

    • Once a natural monopoly has been established, there will be high barriers to entry for other firms because of the large initial cost and because it would be difficult for the entrant to capture a large enough part of the market to achieve the same low costs as the monopolist.
