and other online services. Like any other company, Apple is affected by external forces that

influence its competitive advantage in its business setting. A deep analysis of these forces has

been done through the Porter’s FiveForces Model.The following forces include, bargaining

and the threat of competitive rivalry (Bright, 2019). These forces usually limit the business

operations.

An Analysis of the Company Based on Porter’s Five Forces Model

merchandise. The element of Porter’sModel shows how consumer preferences, perceptions and

buying choices impact businesses. In the Apple Inc., the customers bargaining power is

determined based on such factorsas customer count, changes in prices and purchaser data. Few

customers at Apple impose low changes in prices therefore, it is simple for a customer to switch

brands and therefore this compels Apple Inc.Towards more innovation to ensure customer

satisfaction to retain them.

Threat of Suppliers

The higher the number of suppliers, the lower their bargaining power. Apple Inc.

experiences a weak force of the suppliers since it has a high range of suppliers across the world.

According to Porter’sFiveForces Model, the issuance of permits to a high number of suppliers in

the world is an external force that exerts a force against the firm. Therefore, the model illustrates

that the issue of suppliers is a very minor issue based on Apple’s development of its innovation.
