When manipulating a business’s strategy, it is important to focus on the external factors in the environment. An external analysis is where a business conducts environmental scanning that present a company with the key external forces influencing the organization. The facets of external forces examined are the business environment, remote environment, or the competitive environment. A business environment is all of the external factors in the general environment that a firm cannot control, but can affect their strategy.

Michael Porter provided a framework that models an industry as being influenced by five forces. The strategic business manager seeking to develop an edge over rival firms can use this model to better understand the industry context in which the firm operates. Two of the five forces that are the most significant for Capital One would be rivalry among competitors and threat of new entrants. Capital One has addressed rivalry among competitors in the past by getting new customers to keep their percentage level low for the new and existing customers. Also they have credibility among investor to find individual who are at high risk but will have a good potential with handling their credit card. Capital One threat of new entrants was a major concern in the first two to three years of their business. These concerns are now less intense as it has led to a cost advantage that would be impossible for new entrants to replicate. Capital One can approve these two forces going into the future by keeping up with the latest technology, catering to the community so they can continue to get new customers, and continue to come out with other products that will allow the company to grow in other fields.
