© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Tools for Identifying Investment Opportunities There are several tools or frameworks that are helpful in identifying promising investment opportunities. The more popular ones are:  Porter model  Life cycle approach  Experience Curve

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Porter Model According to Michael Porter the profit potential of an industry depends on the combined strength of the five basic competitive forces as shown below Forces Driving Industry Competition Potential Entrants Suppliers THE INDUSTRY Rivalry Among Existing Firms Buyers Substitutes Threat of New Entrants Bargaining Power of Buyers Bargaining Power of Suppliers Threat of Substitute Products

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Life Cycle Approach Many industrial economists believe that most products evolve through a life cycle that has four stages:  Pioneering stage  Rapid growth stage  Maturity and stabilisation stage  Decline stage Investment in the pioneering stage, per se, may have a low return and negative NPV. However, it may create options for participating in growth.

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Most products evolve through a life cycle. The broad stages and the investment returns in these stages are as follows: Stage  Pioneering  Rapid growth  Maturity  Decline Investment Returns  May have negative NPV but may create options for participating in growth stage  Positive NPV  NPV - neutral  Negative

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Experience Curve  The experience curve shows how the cost per unit behaves with respect to the accumulated volume of production Accumulated volume of production Cost per unit ( Present value)  The key factors that contribute to decline in unit cost with respect to the accumulated volume of production are learning effects, technological improvements, and economies of scale

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Scouting for Project Ideas  Analyse the performance of existing industries  Examine the inputs and outputs of various industries  Review imports and exports  Study plan outlays and governmental guidelines  Look at the suggestions of financial institutions and development agencies  Investigate into local materials and resources  Analyse economic and social trends  Study new technological developments  Draw clues from consumption abroad  Explore the possibility of reviving sick units  Identify unfulfilled psychological needs  Attend trade fairs  Stimulate creativity for generating new product ideas  Hope the chance factor will favour you

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Preliminary Screening  Compatibility with the promoter  Consistency with governmental priorities  Availability of inputs  Adequacy of market  Reasonableness of cost  Acceptability of risk level

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Project Rating Index The steps involved in determining the project rating index are as follows  Identify factors relevant for project rating  Assign weights to these factors ( the weights are supposed to reflect their relative importance)  Rate the project proposal on various factors, using a suitable rating scale (Typically a 5-point scale or a 7-point scale is used for this purpose.)  For each factor, multiply the factor rating with the factor weight to get the factor score  Add all the factor scores to get the overall project rating index

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Sources of Positive NPV It appears that there are six main entry barriers that result in positive NPV projects. They are as follows:  Economies of scale  Product differentiation  Cost advantage  Marketing reach  Technological edge  Government policy

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore The Questions Every Entrepreneur Must Answer According to Amar Bhide the following are the questions that every entrepreneur must answer:  Are my goals well defined ?  Personal aspirations  Business sustainability and size  Tolerance for risk  Do I have the right strategy?  Clear definition  Profitability and potential for growth  Durability  Rate of growth  Can I execute the strategy  Resources  Organizational infrastructure  The founder’s role

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore Qualities and Traits of a Successful Entrepreneur It appears that a successful entrepreneur has the following qualities and traits :  Willingness to make sacrifices  Leadership  Decisiveness  Confidence in the project  Marketing orientation  Strong ego  Open-mindedness

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore  Identification of promising investment opportunities requires imagination, sensitivity to environmental changes, and a realistic assessment of what the firm can do.  To stimulate the flow of investment ideas, the following are helpful: (i) SWOT analysis, (ii) clear articulation of objectives, and (iii) conducive climate  The business environment which needs to be monitored regularly to identify investment opportunities, may be divided into six broad sectors: economic sector, government sector, technological sector, socio-demographic sector, competition sector, and supplier sector.  A realistic appraisal of corporate strengths and weaknesses is essential for identifying investment opportunities which can be profitably exploited. The broad areas of corporate appraisal are: market and distribution, production and operations, research and development, corporate resources and personnel, and finance and accounting.  According to Michael Porter the profit potential of an industry depends on the combined strength of the following five basic competitive forces(i) threat of new entrants, (ii) rivalry among existing firms, (iii) pressure from substitute products,(iv) bargaining power of buyers, and (v) bargaining power of sellers.  Good project ideas- the key to success – are elusive. So a wide variety of sources should be tapped to identify them. Summary

© Centre for Financial Management, Bangalore  It is possible to develop a long list of project ideas. For the preliminary screening of these ideas, the following aspects may be looked into: compatibility with the promoter, consistency with governmental priorities, availability of inputs, adequacy of market, reasonableness of cost, and acceptability of risk level. When a firm evaluates a large number of project ideas regularly, it may he helpful to streamline the process of preliminary screening by employing a project rating index.  It appears that there are six main entry barriers which result in positive NPV projects: economies of scale, product differentiation, cost advantage, marketing reach, technological edge, and government policy.  Every entrepreneur must answer the following questions : Are my goals well defined ? Do I have the right strategy ? Can I execute the strategy ?  It appears that a successful entrepreneur has the following qualities and traits: willingness to make sacrifices, leadership, decisiveness, confidence in the project, marketing orientation, and a strong ego.
