If a firm successfully enters a new market, creates a new product, or designs new innovations for an existing product, it's just a matter of time before competitors follow suit. And the influx of competition inevitably places downward pressure on both price and profitability. But the speed at which competitors invade one's market is not the same in all industries; some are more resistant to the forces of competition than others. In 1979, Harvard economist Michael Porter theorized his Five Forces Model (updated in 2008). The Five Forces Model identifies the characteristics that can help insulate a firm from competitive forces. For the firm that seeks to put together a business plan, or for the firm that is considering opportunities for diversification, an understanding of the Five Forces Model is essential. 000841862 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on November 25, 2015). 000841862 650_0 $$aCompetition. 000841862 650_0 $$aMarket share. 000841862 653__ $$aPorter's Five Forces 000841862 653__ $$abargaining power 000841862 653__ $$amarket power 000841862 653__ $$amarket barriers 000841862 653__ $$aproduct differentiation 000841862 653__ $$aproduct substitution 000841862 653__ $$aswitching costs 000841862 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000841862 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781631573675 000841862 830_0 $$aEconomics collection.$$x2163-7628 000841862 852__ $$bebk 000841862 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4009431$$zOnline Access 000841862 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:841862$$pGLOBAL_SET 000841862 980__ $$aBIB 000841862 980__ $$aEBOOK 000841862 982__ $$aEbook 000841862 983__ $$aOnline
