Five Forces Model
Last updated
What is Five Forces Model?
The Five Forces Model, developed by Michael Porter, analyzes an industry's competitiveness through five factors: existing competition, threat of new entrants, threat of substitutes, and the bargaining power of suppliers and buyers. It helps teams understand how much pressure a business faces from its market environment beyond just direct competitors. This analysis often shapes decisions about pricing, differentiation, and where a new business model can find an advantage.
