How to enter and exit industry barriers

Industry barrier refers to the "unfamiliar difficulties" that cross-industry operators will encounter when they lose good business and open bad business. The level of barriers is determined by comprehensive factors such as market competition, social development and legal system improvement.

Industry barrier is an obstacle to prevent or restrict entry into a certain industry. It is an effective means and an important method to protect the market and eliminate competition. The stronger the industry barriers, the more market obstacles, the more difficult it is for enterprises to join, the higher the degree of market monopoly and the relatively mild competition; The weaker the industry barriers, the fewer the market obstacles, the easier it is for enterprises to join, the lower the degree of market monopoly and the relatively fierce competition.

There are two conditions for entering and exiting industry barriers:

First, to have a higher entry threshold, in short, we need higher and more comprehensive skills. For example, in the field where finance and software engineering intersect, this is not an industry that everyone can engage in, so people in the industry can ask for a high salary because there are limited people who can engage in this industry. On the contrary, the competition among employees is fierce for simple jobs that everyone can do, such as security and cleaning, so there is no room for bargaining with employers in salary.

Second, it is better for this industry to have a lower exit threshold, that is to say, if a person with this industry skill no longer engages in this industry in the future, it is very easy for him to change careers, and his adaptability is also very strong, and this kind of career change will not bring him any losses (material and spiritual), which is very important for the left-behind and fugitives in this industry. For example, editors and journalists of TV English programs, once they don't want to engage in their original jobs, have skills that can make them qualified for the post of public relations manager of any first-class multinational company.
