www.researchandmarkets.com - Research and Markets (www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a042f2/market_competitive) has announced the addition of the "Market Competitive Intensity (MCI): Algeria" report to their offering.

Datamonitors 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 the EU 27 and 6 related markets.

- Analysis of the commercial opportunities and threats in the selected markets both currently and in 2010.

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

Highlights of this title:

Datamonitors MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of utility Market Competitive Intensity. "MCI scores are calculated using two different methods. The first, the simple weighted average (additive) measure shows overall competitive intensity. The second, the multipliative 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.

The second, the multipliative 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.

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.

Key Topics Covered:

- Introduction: Datamonitors MCI Index offers a robust framework for measuring the development of energy MCI

- The MCI Index

- Context: Algerias gas and power markets are heavily government dominated, significantly curtailing options for new entrants

- Power MCI

- Weak customer pull metrics reflect the concentrated nature of Algerias gas market

- Outlook: Commercial opportunities exist, though overcoming the threat posed by existing players is a significant challenge

- Monopolies in both the power and gas sector leads to low MCI scores

- Power scores

- Gas scores

- New Market Entrant Opportunities
