Sports Products in Malaysia

Comparing products by using Porter's Force Model

Comparing products by using Porter’s competitive force model.

Porter’s competitive force model was created by Michael Porter’s since 1985. Nowadays, many big companies using this model to develop strategies in order to improved their business and increased their competitive edge. There are 5 major forces that can become harm to the company listed below :

 The threat of entry of new competitor.
 The bargaining power of suppliers.
 The bargaining suppliers of customers(buyers).
 The threat of substitute products or services.
 The rivalry among existing firms in the industry.

SPORTS PRODUCTS IN MALAYSIA.

As we know, nowadays there are many of sports attire and item such as sport shoes, football attire, t-shirts and so on. Our country are the most of asian country that produced and imported many of sports product for daily use and recreation purposes.

Refer to the first model of Porter’s competitive force model that is the threat of entry of new competitor. Malaysia also produced their own sports products brand such as Kronos, Power(BATA), Asadi and others. But, today people more trusted to other imported products such as Nike, Adidas, Umbro, Diadora and so on. This scenario happens because of the strategies of the imported products in order to sale and commercial their products. Besides, imported products have very high quality of products produce and the name of the products are famous around the world. Even our local products prices are cheaper than imported products, customers still choosed imported products because of the brand, quality and also their design is up to date.

Next, the bargaining power of suppliers also give a big impact in business matters. Today, we as a buyers can purchased a imported product thru online. Besides that, by using online services we can negotiate the prices of the products using auction sites, the quality of the product also guarantee by the company and the items we buy will delivered shortly using courier. On the other hand, our local products only can buy at shopping complex in this country but not around the world. People also will choosed their own taste and favorites products with a good quality and reasonable items sales.

Another model of Porter’s competitive force model is the bargaining power of customers (buyers). As we know, in the modern life now we as a buyers or customers can buy the imported products more easier than local products because of the suppliers in this country. There are many of sub-suppliers for imported product such as aL-iKhSaN sports,Atheletic sports and so on. But, our local sports products only sells and supplies by selected company in Malaysia for example BATA (M). Besides, customers have many choices to choosed and purchased the imported sports products because the imported products offer many types of sports items compared to local sports products.

The fourth Porter’s competitive force model is the threat of substitute of products or services. Nowadays, new technologies creates substitute products rapidly. People will buy the latest technologies and products produced. For example, today most of people will buy a PVC sandals rather than Canvas sandals it’s because of the quality and multipurpose uses. Besides, the PVC products is lighter than canvas because of the materials used. Other than that, the designed of the sports items give a big advantages to a sports company to gained profit. Customers will choosed a modern style designed and followed the trends aroung the world. Imported products designed is up to date but, our local products only focused to the trends in Malaysia only not globally.

Lastly, the competitive force models produced by Potter’s is the rivalry among existing firms in the industry. Today, in the world there are many of company and products produced. Some of the famous name of products is Nike, Adidas, Umbro, Diadora, and so on. So, because of the name of this products was very famous aroung the world it may effect our local products sales. People would like to choosed the top and famous sports items compared to our local sports items. And because of this phenomenon, it will compete among sports company in this country.

Some people have claimed that, nowadays there are too many imitations of imported products such as Nike, Adidas and others in this country. People have to be alerted if want to purchased the imported sports products because of this cases. So, it shows that our local sports products is more secure to buy because its do not have non-original products sales in this country.

In brief, as a big company in this industry we have to makes a strategies by using this five Porter’s competitive force model. This model will helps and shows you the best way to become a very successful company in the world.

Children of Heaven

“CHILDREN OF HEAVEN”

My point of view about this movie.

“CHILDREN OF HEAVEN” is the movie that tell audience a story of a poor family that have to survived their life with many of difficulties and problems. This movie also showed many of moral values that can be imitate in order to perform our duty as a human in this world. Besides that, its also showed the sacrificed of each member of the family such as father, mother, brothers and sisters.

First of all, in this movie i can see that their culture and lifestyle are very simple. For an example, they can live and survived in the rural area with a poor public facilities provided and they only eat a simple meal such as bread, drink only the pipe water.

Next, the other moral value i can take from this movie is the behaviour in respect each other among community members. Ali shows that he always respect people that more older than him. On the other hand, this story tell us about responsibility and trustworthy in doing a job. For example, Ali father’s was very responsible person when somebody ask him to do a job such as to process the sugar for mosque and can’t cheat or take the things that not belonging to us officially. Besides, Ali father’s responsible to make their family happy. In order to make sure the family happy,he go to get a part time job as a gardener at elite house. Ali also helped his father to get an extra pocket money.

Other than that, this movie shows the spirit of study between ali and his sister. Ali and his sister very hardworking and intelligent student in school. This spririt proved after ali loss his sister school shoes that his father told him to repair it. Then, at that time this two siblings decided keep it as a secret in order do not want their father to get angry. After that, ali and his sister have to share a pair of school shoes together and squeeze it after his sister finised her class. Ali always get caught by the headmaster because of coming late to school everyday. But, he never give up and try to get a new snicker shoes for his sister. One day, Ali entered a marathon races at town and the priced offer for the winner is a pair of shoes and a camping trips. But, Ali have to finished the race at third placed because he want to get the snicker shoes for his sister. At the end of the race, Ali become a champion and upset because cannot fulfill his promise to his sister. Briefly, this scenario shows that we have to try our best in order to achieved what we wanted and never give up.

The negative part in this movie is when the head master of Ali school never give Ali chance to explain what a problem faces by his family. He just want to blame Ali because of always coming late to school. In my point of view, as a teacher we have to be tolerate while communicates with students and discuss about the problem faces by a student. Sometimes, student shy to story about their problem because of the teacher behaviour towards their students.

In conclusion, overall of this story give many of moral values for us to follow and imitates it in order to make ourlife better and better. Besides that, it also make me feel very lucky and grateful to live in “MALAYSIA” that well known as a developing country and peaceful country in this world.
