- Which of the forces has the biggest impact on the firm and why? What are the structural determinants impacting the firm?
- Focus on how you see your chosen company positioned in the market vis-à-vis the five forces you have identified, and which recommendations would you give to the firm’s management to improve their position in relation to suppliers, buyers, barriers to entry, and competitors.
