Five forces analysis help to analyze the characteristics that affect competition within an industry. The analysis is also a framework best suited to determine how strong or weak an industry’s competitive forces are but it can also help companies establish a business strategy. The five forces affecting industry attractiveness are classified into the two following categories. Internal forces: Competitive pressures from buyer bargaining power‚ competitive pressures stemming from supplier bargaining

Buoyant Forces The purpose of this lab is to calculate buoyant forces of objects submerged in water. The first step in the lab was to measure the mass of a metal cylinder‚ which was found to be 100g‚ and then to calculated it’s weight‚ which was .98 newtons. Then next step was to measure the apparent weight of the cylinder when it is completely submerged in a bath of water using the formula Wa=ma*g ‚ this was found to be 88.5grams. Knowing these two numbers‚ the buoyant force that the water

is the tendency for a body to either remain at rest or move in a straight line at a constant speed‚ unless acted up by an unbalanced force. In both cases‚ the item has an acceleration of zero. Inertia is not a force‚ but rather a resistance to a change in velocity. In other words‚ the object wants to stay put or stay constant‚ and inertia is what happens when a force gives it acceleration. An example of inertia in the physical world happens while riding in a car. The driver turns the car left‚ but

Weight Watchers has played a role in the development of a new national awareness of healthful eating‚ lifestyles changes‚ and weight control. Weight Watchers International had experienced it biggest threat mostly because of new competition and changes in technology. When the over the counter weightless drug launched it had a drastic effect on their market. Switching

When thinking of what industry to focus my paper on‚ I couldn’t help but think of an industry that I use almost on a day-to-day basis: online video streaming. I felt it was a suitable choice for representing the different areas of Porter’s Five Forces Model because it seems as though there is always some different development happening within the industry. An article I found on The Economist’s online site addressed some of the main industry developments quite well. This particular article‚ titled

1. Porter have developed five forces‚ basically it is a framework to analyze the level of competition within an industry in order to develop a business strategy. The first force as what Porter defined is the threat of new entrants‚ which can eventually decrease the profitability for all firms in their particular industries. This happens whenever profitable markets yield high returns that can attract new firms. The second force is the threat of substitute products or services or products‚ this is

Porter who states that there are five forces that influence the long-term profitability of a market or some segment of it. Therefore‚ the corporation must assess their objectives and resources against these five forces driving industry competitions‚ which are described below: 1) Threat of entry of new competitors or the market segment is unattractive depending on whether entry

LAB: Force Lab Research Question: How does the change in mass of an object affect the force and time while the object is moving down a height of 31cm? Hypothesis: My prediction is that the greater the mass of the toy car the larger the force of gravity‚ as the product of the masses of two objects increases‚ the force of gravity that attracts them toward each other increases. According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation‚ “gravity and mass are directly proportional” hence‚ creating a greater
