Bargaining power of suppliers
Best Buy get its products at low prices directly from the manufacturers like Sony , Panasonic, Toshiba and thus they rely upon them so that they can pass on this price benefit to the customers. If in case best buy does not comply by any of its suppliers condition then it may have to face serious consequences in terms of customer base loss, the reason being that their USP(low price) would no longer be their strength as suppliers may increase the price.

Bargaining power of buyer’s
Since buyer’s at best buy does not buy in large quantity thus no single customer can have bargaining power. Since buyer’s get products at comparatively low prices so they prefer to buy from best buy. Best buy thrives hard to retain its customers by offering quality products at lesser price so as to fight competition.

Cont.Competition is high primarily because there is little to no switching costs if a buyer chooses to shop elsewhere. Even the products are not differentiated and so customer has the liberty to choose the products from any of the stores.
