    Porter's Five Forces Analysis's Factors

    Key Points:  After 30 years, the Five Forces Analysis is still one of the most effective ways to assess industry structure and performance when done correctly.  As the tool’s name states, there are five forces that together illuminate industry structure: Bargaining Power of Buyers, Bargaining Power of Suppliers, Barriers to Entry, Threat of Substitute Product or Services, and Rivalry Among Existing Competitors.  A recent update to the model is the addition of Complements, goods or services that impact the demand of the products/services provided by the industry under analysis. It is considered more of a factor than a force per the model creator. Main Thoughts: Where the PESTEL analysis is a general or macro environmental analysis tool, the Five Forces model is a means to assess the micro or industry environment.

The tool helps users identify—through detailed examination of each force—what the underlying drivers of industry behavior and performance are.…

Do not attempt to bring up insignificant points simply because they enable you to fill in a letter in an acronym. Concentrate your emphasis only on those points which are important for your analysis of the company. Make sure you state why the points are important by relating their effects on the company specifically. All graphs and data analysis belong in appendices.…

    The model is used to enable managers to understand their industry environment and shape their firm’s strategy. Generally, the stronger the five forces, the lower the industry’s profit potential (a.k.a. less attractive industry). The reverse is true as well, the weaker the five forces, the greater the profit potential (a.k.a. more attractive industry). The goal is to position the firm in an industry in a way that reduces the constraints of strong forces and leverages weak forces.…
