The Structure Conduct Performance (SCP) model
In the 1980s, McKinsey suggested an extension that added a dynamic element to a static
framework. The dynamic version suggests that the relationships among structure, conduct,
and performance are not unidirectional; they flow in the opposite direction, too.
1. This approach allows companies to consider the influence of their own conduct on
an industry’s structure and, ultimately, on their own performance. Many companies use the
revised model to “play through” various scenarios that might affect them, to gain an
understanding of what’s happening in their industries, and to develop their strategies.
2. The seemingly timeless dynamic SCP framework is useful across regions and
industries.

The “5 forces framework” for industry analysis
Source: Michael E. Porter, “The Five Forces that Shape Strategy,” Harvard Business Review 28, no.1 (Jan. 2008): 78-93.
Porter’s 5 forces model: Critique
• Its main weakness results from the historical context in which it was developed. In
the early 1980s, cyclical growth characterized the global economy.
– Thus, primary corporate objectives consisted of profitability and survival.
– A major prerequisite for achieving these objectives has been optimization of strategy in
relation to the external environment.
– At that time, development in most industries has been fairly stable and predictable,
compared with today’s dynamics.
• In the economic sense, the model assumes a classic perfect market. The more an
industry is regulated, the less meaningful insights the model can deliver.
• The model is based on the idea of competition. It assumes that companies try to
achieve competitive advantages over other players in the markets as well as over
suppliers or customers.
– With this focus, it does not really take into consideration strategies like strategic
alliances, electronic linking of information systems of all companies along a value chain,
virtual enterprise-networks or others.
