The bargaining power of suppliers varies by industry and includes but is not limited to:Supplier switching costs relative tofirmswitching costs- A firm may switch their costs to a supplier's competitor partially or the firm cuts its orders from the supplier. The supplier could switch it's costs by using degraded materials or even raise price per unit.Degree of differentiation and costs of inputs - Threatening to change the materials in their products to lower variable costs -- perhaps lowering the quality of the productPresence of substitute inputs- The availability and presence of substitute materials to use can affect the end product if the supplier is squeezed by buyersStrength of distribution channel- Their ability and efficiency of distribution of their products.Supplier concentration tofirmconcentration ratio- Does the supplier care about your B2B relationship? If not, their motivation to do business may cause stalls in negotiations and production.Employee solidarity (e.g.labor unions)- Although unfortunate at times for the supplier, labor union strikes may be a bargaining chip for the supplier in delaying orders and making sales. If their worker's are not unionized, there may be no threat of strikes and is a plus for a buyer to consider going with this supplier.Supplier competition- Only few suppliers with similar standards of quality in their products. This is an advantage for the supplier because they can just say "Where are you going to go?" in times of conflict between firm and supplier.
Threat of new entrants -Rivalry among existing firms -Threat of substitute products or services -Bargaining power of buyers -Bargaining power of suppliers -Relative power of other stakeholders
First, the bargaining power of buyers. Next, bargaining power of suppliers. Rivalry among existing competitors, threat of substitute products, and threat of a new entry.
The five forces of competition (the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of substitute products, and the rivalry among competing firms) jointly determine the profitability of an industry due to the way they shape the prices which can be charged, the costs which can be borne, and the investment require to compete within the industry. Leadership will use the five forces framework to determine the competitive structure of an industry. The risk of entry by competitors increases the industry's capacity, starts a greater competition for market share, and generally lowers current pricing. Extreme rivalry among competing firms poses a strong threat to profitability to all firms within the industry. The bargaining power of buyers can reduce the profits within an industry by lower the prices and increasing the costs due to purchasing power (large quantity purchasers can drive down prices at a firm -- or the firm risks losing these large quantity sales to a competitor). On the other side of buyers, the bargaining power of suppliers can reduce a firm's profitability by increasing costs to the firm (or firms if the supplier provides multiple firms within an industry). Lastly, the threat of substitute products is a real threat to profits in that a large number of close substitutes for any product greatly increases competition in pricing and in turn drives profits down.

The porter's five force analysis of Volkswagen are, supplier power, buying power, threat of new entry, threat of substitution, competitive rivalry.
1. Supplier's power 2. Threat of subtitute 3. Buyer's power 4. Barrier's to entry 5. Rivalry
The 5 forces analysis of Air Asia is : Rivalry amongst existing competitors is high, Threat of substitutes is moderate, Power of buyer is high, Power pf supplier is moderate,Threat of entrants is high.
There were many external environments that affected Merck company. They were rivalry, entry and exit barriers, supplier power, buyer power and threat of substitutes.
Porters 5 forces is a concept, I can't understand what exactly do you want to know but still I write all the forces and some examples; 1. The threat of entry ... Dependent on barriers to entry such as: -economies of scale -capital requirements of entry -access to supply or distribution channels -customer or supplier loyalty -experience -expected retaliation -legislation or government action -differentiation 2. Threat of substitutes Reduction in demand for products as customers switch to alternatives: -Product for product substitution e.g. email for post -substitution of need e.g. reliable and cheap appliances reduce need for maintenance services -generic substitution:competition for household income e.g. cars versus holidays and doing without 3. Buyer power it is likely to be high where there is: -a concentration of buyers -many small operators in the supplying industry -alternative sources of supply -switching costs are low -components/materials are a high percentage of cost to the buyer leading to "shopping around" -a threat of backward integration 4. Supplier power it is likely to be high where there is: -a concentration of suppliers -customers are fragmented and bargaining power low -switching costs are high -the supplier brand is powerful -integration forward by the supplier is possible 5. Competitive Rivalry it is likely to be high when: -competitors are in balance -there is slow market growth (product life cycle) -there are high fixed costs in an industry -there are high exit barriers -markets are undifferentiated
The barriers of entry, the value the industry can provide for customers, capital requirement, exit barriers. All this can be determined using Porter's Five Force Model, which looks at competitor (Rivalry), threat of new entrants, supplier power, buyer power, and threat of substitute products.
Porter's 5 Forces of Competition apply to any Competitive Business/Industry, including but not limited to the retail industry. - Threat of a New Competitor - Threat of a substitute (rival) product/service - Buying Power (bargaining power of buyers) - Supplier Reliance (supplier bargaining power) - Intensity of Rivalry - they say competition brings out the best in us.

Backward vertical integration is whereby an organisations gains ownership and power over it's suppliers. This is common in industries where costs are low and certainty is vital in maintaining competitive advantage. This strategy can be effective if current suppliers are unreliable, too costly and incapable of meeting the needs of an organisation. Forward vertical integration is whereby an organisation gains ownership and power over it's distributors and retailers. Examples can be the establishment of websites that sell directly to the consumer and therefore cutting the middle man. This strategy can be effective if distributors are unreliable and have high profit margins and incapable of serving the consumer.

Supplier power refers to the pressure suppliers can exert on businesses by raising prices, lowering quality, or reducing availability of their products. In a business context, supplier power is typically wielded by a supplier when they increase costs, reduce quality or restrict the availability of their desirable products in an effort to enhance their bargaining position.
