Leon Topalian, aware of your emerging expertise in strategic analysis, has employed you as an intern to assist him in evaluating Nucor’s situation and future prospects. Mr. Topalian has asked you to provide him with a 4 page report, not including appendices, detailing (1) the strength of competitive forces in the steel industry as of 2020, (2) industry key success factors, (3) the pros and cons of Nucor’s competitive strategy, (4) the strategic issues that Nucor management needs to address, and (5) your recommendations as to what actions he should take to enhance Nucor’s position and future performance, particularly as concerns of being able to compete effectively against low-cost foreign steel imports are somewhat mitigated by recent tariffs imposed on foreign steel imports.
What are the primary competitive forces impacting U.S. steel producers in general and the producers like Nucor that make new steel products via recycling scrap steel using less capital intensive electric arc furnace technology? Please do a five-forces analysis to support your answer.
What key success factors do you see at work in this industry as of 2020? Are they likely to impact the industry’s competitive structure favorably or unfavorably?
What type of strategy has Nucor followed? Which of the five generic strategies discussed in Chapter 5 is Nucor employing? Is there any reason to believe that Nucor has achieved a sustainable competitive advantage over many of its steel industry rivals in North America? If so, what type of competitive advantage does Nucor enjoy?
What strategic issues does Nucor management need to address?
