Understanding Your School – External Analysis

Porter’s Five Forces Model is a simple yet powerful model to identify and analyse
the competitiveness and weaknesses of an organisation. It helps identify the existing forces
in the industry and can be used as a tool to review and adjust the strategies of a school.

Power of other schools

The power of other schools refers to other schools that are not currently competing
with a school, yet they have the capability and potential to do so. The factors to be concerned
with include brand loyalty, government regulations and the cost to entry.

Issues to be considered
Does the school obtain higher reputation compared to the others? Why?
Can the school's operation model be imitated?
Are there any nearby schools which are going to rise and shine?

Power of parents

The power of parents refers to the ability of parents to demand or contribute to better service
from school. It concerns the various services provided, as well as the background and attitude
of parents.

Issues to be considered
Do parents receive high credibility from school?
Can the parents’ socioeconomic status facilitate children's learning effectiveness?
Do parents have active participation in school activities about children's nurturance?
