A Market Competitive Intensity of New South Wales, Australia: Providing an Insight Into the Competitive Landscape, Industry Drivers and Market Dynamics

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fc6e04/market_competitive)
has announced the addition of the "Market Competitive Intensity (MCI):
New South Wales, Australia" report to their offering.

   Datamonitor's MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring
the development of utility Market Competitive Intensity. The MCI
assessment draws on nine underlying metrics grouped into three broad
clusters: Market framework; Supplier Push; Customer Pull.

   Scope

   - Insight into the current levels of competitiveness in the gas
and power markets of 20 key Asia Pacific countries.

   - Benchmarking of the factors driving competition and market entry
in the gas and power sectors of the selected markets.

   - Analysis of how the selected markets are likely to evolve given
the currently prevailing market dynamics.

   Highlights of this title

   MCI scores are calculated using two different methods. The first,
the simple weighted average (additive) measure shows overall
competitive intensity. The second, the multiplicative method, is more
complex. It prevents markets with an overly wide spread of underlying
raw scores from exerting undue influence over, or skewing, the final
result.

   Liberalisation, energy pricing issues and environmental concerns
will remain key drivers of gas and power market dynamics throughout
the MCI forecast period.

   Key reasons to purchase this title

   - Assess the competitive environments of gas and power markets
both now and in the future.

   - Gain insight into value chain factors driving market
competitiveness and how each individual part of the chain will evolve
as competition develops.

   - Screen future market entry plans against the MCI scores to
highlight key areas of potential risk and opportunity.
