The Five Forces Model (developed by Dr. Michael Porter of Harvard University) serves as a framework for examining competition that transcends industries‚ particular technologies‚ or management approaches. The underlying fundamentals of competition go beyond the specific ways individual companies go about competing (i.e. StrengthsWeaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis; the 4P’s of marketing: product‚ price‚ place‚ promotion). The underpinning of this framework is the

there is a constant relationship between these forces. Lift is the upward force created by the effect of airflow as it passes over and under the wing. The airplane is supported in flight by lift. Weight‚ which opposes lift‚ is caused by the downward pull of gravity. Thrust is the forward force which propels the airplane through the air‚ which varies with the amount of engine power being used. Opposing thrust is drag‚ which is a backward‚ or retarding‚ force which limits the speed of the airplane. I’m

Physics lab:9 Equilibrium of parallel force 11/09/2012 By: Camilo Salazar Jillian Ellis Purpose: To understand the conditions need for a rigid body to be in equilibrium when there are forces acting on the body from different sides. Theory: When force is applied on a rigid body for example a ruler it can either be in equilibrium or it can be unbalance. When the force is unbalance what would happen is this motion the body can be either translational or rotational. “A body in translational

Force Field Analysis is a technique developed by Kurt Lewin that involves the identification of forces that could drive a change and forces that could be obstacles to that change. Force field provides a framework for looking at the factors (forces) that influence a situation‚ originally social situation. Force will be useful when looking at variables involved in planning and implementing a change program and will undoubtedly be of use in team building projects‚ when attempting to overcome resistance

Competitive Forces (5 Forces) Barriers to Entry: The telecommunication industry is dominated by only a few fully integrated companies like Motorola and Nortel. Because of this‚ companies like Alcatel are involved in smaller scale acquisitions that are filling in product assortments. One issue with this is that smaller players are being squeezed by severe price competition. The telecommunications industry does have high entry costs given that the industry requires a high level of integration

framework uses concepts developed in IO economics to derive 5 forces that determine the attractiveness of a market. Porter referred to these forces as the microenvironment‚ to contrast it with the more general term macroenvironment. They consist of those forces close to a company that affect its ability to serve its customers and make a profit. A change in any of the forces normally requires a company to re-assess the marketplace. Four forces -- the bargaining power of customers‚ the bargaining power

defined as the force acting perpendicular to a unit area. It is the result of a force distributed over an area. A theater seat’s large padded seat and back offer a larger area to support your weight than a bicycle seat does. Thus‚ the theater seat exerts less pressure on you and is more comfortable than the bicycle seat. Many other everyday situations also involve pressure and it is not only about the theater or bicycle seat but as well as in fluids. To calculate pressure‚ divide the force by the area
