Competitive Strategy and Porter's 5 Forces Training
Can your company truly measure the competitive intensity and profitability potential of the industry it operates in? Grupas' Competitive Strategy and Porter's 5 Forces program transforms the industry analysis model developed by Michael E. Porter at Harvard Business School — the foundation of modern business strategy — into an applicable decision-making tool.
The program addresses each of the five forces one by one: the threat of new entrants, the threat of substitutes, the bargaining power of buyers, the bargaining power of suppliers and rivalry within the industry. The influencing factors, strategic importance and impact on profitability of each force are conveyed together with application examples, the working steps before–during–after the analysis, and the limitations of the model (digitalization, globalization, customer expectations, regulation, corporate restructuring).
