Competitive Forces (Porter’s 5 Forces) Analysis of the competitive environment can be done utilising Michael Porter’s 5-forces model of UPS and FedEx. Porter’s theoretical framework allows us to determine the overall profitability and sustainability within the industry (Laudon & Laudon 2006‚ pg.99; Hubbard 2004‚ pg.211). We reckon that in this case‚ the competitive forces for both UPS and FedEx are very similar because they are both in the same industry. Power of substitutes: Communications

Applying a mass to the end of the spring stretches it‚ changing the length from its original equilibrium position of rest‚ to a new (lower) equilibrium position. At this position‚ the vertical restoring force of the spring balances the weight
