ADRP 3.0: Using Porter's Five Forces Model

Concepts lead change for the Army and drive the development and integration of future capabilities. More specifically, they provide a framework for analysis, readiness assessments, prioritization, and feedback. In addition, concepts serve as a foundation to help the Army maximize effectiveness and minimize risk through both materiel and nonmaterial capabilities. The role of concepts is to describe how future forces will operate. Concepts assists in the identification of prioritized capability gaps and integrated Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF-P).

In 2012, General Dempsey states “Mission Command is fundamentally a learned behavior to be imprinted into the DNA of a profession of arms.” The way Mission Command has evolved through the past years is indicative to the US Military adjusting to a new threat. The concept of Mission Command is not new, what is important is how General Dempsey states “Education in the fundamental principles of mission command must begin at the start of service and be progressively more challenging..” The General emphasizes the need for education at the start of the individual’s service. Additionally, this highlights the United States Army’s doctrinal adjustment to the new threat. During the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US faced an enemy whose creativity and adaptability are two of its greatest assets. The fast-paced situation changes in both of those AOs required tactical level leadership maintain the autonomy to “exercise disciplined initiative.” This type of initiative historically leads to mission success, specifically in fast-paced situations where a key to success is forcing the enemy to react.

2. Summary: ADP 6-0 is broken down into three major sections. These sections are; the guiding principles, the Art of Command, and the Mission Command Warfighting Function. This paper will place emphasis on the guiding principles and the Art of Command portions of the manual as they provide the baseline for conceptual implementation. Additionally, as a Group Support Battalion (GSB), the Mission Command Warfighting Function predominantly lies within the responsibility of line Battalion commanders. Within the GSB, our primary mission is to provide augmentees and unique enablers to commander’s to further enable them to meet mission success.

Why do you wake up in the morning? Who are you deep down as a person or Soldier? What are your values? These are soul searching questions that the Army needs and wants to know. Getting to know the individuals that the Army is comprised of will give you a better understanding on how to lead them. This is where ADRP 6-22 attributes and competencies come into play. The Army profession certifies competence, character and commitment and each one is emphasized differently.

Army Directive Publication, 3-28 (2012) explains how these three new doctrines work together to clarify how we as a nation will respond to future domestic operations:

Fresh Direct got their start in New York City in July 2001, when co-founders Joseph Fedele and Jason Ackerman started the company. Since the start of the company in 2001, they have been through many changes in the leadership of the business, eight changes to the CEO over the last thirteen years. The most current CEO that is leading the business through the industry is Richard Braddock, he took the position in 2008, he took the position after serving as CEO for priceline.com because, he saw the potential for increasing growth within the company (Strategic Manangement). After searching many sites such as yahoo and google finance, as well as etrade etc., I was unable to find any actual profit or losses data for the last year due to the fact

As stewards of our profession, commanders ensure that military expertise continues to develop and be passed on to aspiring professionals through operational development. It is during this developmental phase that Professional Soldiers put their knowledge and skills to the test. Operational Army units certify and recertify their Professional Soldiers through repetitive and realistic training events including the Combat Life Saver Course, platoon live fires, and exercises at the National Training Center. In the course of these challenging and realistic experiences, the Army’s operational units develop Soldiers and leaders prepared to maintain high standards, discipline, and operational readiness. Operational development and adaptability will continue to drive changes in Army doctrine, organization, leadership, and education as we enter the post-war era. Without this kind of development, the Army could not maintain a well-disciplined professional fighting force.

As mentioned in Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 6-0, establishing collaboration is difficult but necessary and all participants must share information, perspectives, question assumptions, and exchange ideas to establish and maintain understanding (United States Army, 2012). Having a shared understanding is the only method to resolve potential misunderstandings and effectively

Porter 's Five Forces Model is a critical instrument to break down an outer aggressive environment of the business. The model incorporates threat of entry, the threat of rivalry, the threat of suppliers, the threat of purchasers and threat of substitutes.

An example is web design, as there are independents in every location. This is an easy market to enter with few

BEVERAGES: PEP and KO dominate the market globally and enjoy huge scale economies. Moreover, high entry costs, massive CAPEX requirements, strong brands coupled with huge advertising budgets, plus established distribution channels are material deterrents to new entrants.

Mezz is a small café that provides unique sharwarmas. It is owned and run by Phillip Conelly who is a sole proprietor and he employers 3 kitchen staff. The ethical and organic ingredients used in the shawarmas give Mezz its competitive edge as more people are placing emphasis on ethical claims and healthier fast food. SWOT analyses is a planning technique used to see the factors that are favourable and unfavourable to achieve a specified objective. Upper crust pies uses SWOT and discovered areas for growth in their business. Other techniques which are similar to SWOT are PEST analyses and Porters Five Force Model.

While putting on the test majority times, addressed and tested, for very nearly three decades Porter's five forces model (1980, 1985), is the overwhelming model acknowledged for examining the allure of businesses. Schrader, Freimann and Seuring (2012) research demonstrates that in the protection business the aggressive competition is high and escalated. It is an industry in the shakeout period of its cycle, portrayed with little yearly development (Tax and Brown, 2012). The business stage is portrayed with a shakeout of the weakest contenders, empowering acquisitions and solidification. The primary purchasers in the business are the policy holders, people and partnerships, while the fundamental suppliers are found in the IT organisations. Despite the fact that the exchanging expenses for the purchasers are high because of agreement commitments, the general purchaser force is evaluated as

I am a registered nurse employed in a hospital in the healthcare industry. Porter’s five forces model begins with the first force being the intensity of rivalry among incumbent firms (Parnell, 2014). Competition in healthcare, particularly hospitals, is limited. Due to the accredidation process, government regulations such as a certificate of need (Certificate of need, n.d.) and licensing of facilities and providers, competition is limited. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is looking at ways to increase competition in healthcare such as opening up opportunities for nurse practitioners, increasing the availability of such technologies as telehealth and establish more competitive healthcare pricing. In cities, there is more of a concentration of competitors. The hospital that I work at is the largest between Memphis and Nashville and has the busiest ER in the state of Tennessee. Therefore, the concentration of competition is low for that particular hospital. There are high fixed costs with a hospital such as buildings, overhead, equipment, and salaried personnel. Yet, a hospital does not cut their prices to increase patient census. However, it could be questionable in a low census period as to whether there are additional tests run or hospital admissions that would ordinarily not happen if the census were higher. There is strong growth in the healthcare industry with the industry growing at twice the rate of the national economy (Health Care Industry, 2012).

Coca Cola is the largest company of the non-alcoholic beverages industry, controlling about 40% of the industry, followed by Pepsi with 20% control (Maverick 2015). Both companies are fully international, with a presence in over 200 countries, and are composed of numerous brands. Coca Cola, for example, owns about 500 brands, although the largest part of its profits stems from 21 of these brands. Overall, in 2016, the global non-alcoholic beverages industry was valued at $967.3 billion (Grand View Research 2017). Other key players in the industry include Nestle, Kraft Heinz Company, and the Pepper Snapple Group.
