Competitive environments are defined by the identity, track record, financial strength and market share of key competitors. Harvard Professor Michael Porter 's Five Forces model can be used to evaluate a company 's competitive position. These five forces are barriers to entry (the ability of new players to enter the market), buyer power (the ability of customers to influence price),

2. How Porter's Five Forces of Competition impact the company Porter set out his famous Five Forces model in chapter 1 of his 1980 Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors, which has now become the dominant paradigm for the "Structural Analysis of Industries." The model places supply chain forces on the horizontal access and market structure vertically above and below industry competition, which they all point to as the center of potential profitability (Hitt, Ireland and Hoskisson,

This research plan was made to support introducing the product and service of Dewi Sitha for its business in Silver Jewelry. Dewi Sitha is based in Indonesia and has been in business since 1970.

The intensity of rivalry, which is the most obvious of the five forces in an industry, helps determine the extent to which the value created by an industry will be dissipated through head-to-head competition. The most valuable contribution of Porter's “five forces” framework in this issue may be its suggestion that rivalry, while important, is only one of several forces that determine industry attractiveness.

Porter’s competitive Forces model is used for analyzing and determining the exterior environment that can influence competitiveness of an organization. The forces model is made up of five forces that include Supplier Power, Buyer Power, Competitive Rivalry, Threat of Substitution, and Threat of New Entry. Supplier power is when suppliers try to push up. It focuses on the amount of suppliers, uniqueness of the product, the power and control the supplier has. Buyer Power is similar to Supplier power but in this case it is easy for buyers to force the prices down. If you deal with limited buyers then they are often able to direct terms to you. Competitive Rivalry is the capability to offer products and services that other businesses do

It was enacted for the 54 members in 2003 when all the certification and legislation parameters were formed based on a consensus of the General Assembly (Kimberley Process Certification Scheme Core Document). These 54 members are now responsible for a vast majority of the diamonds legally traded worldwide and ensure that the basis for these diamonds do not infringe upon basic human rights ("KB Basis" Kimberley Process). People are not allowed to openly trade diamonds that have a “conflict” source in an attempt to reduce violations of humanitarian rights.

In his article “The five competitive forces that shape strategy“, Michael Porter (2008) updates and extends his “five forces” framework he first introduced in 1979 and which has influenced the academic and business research for decades. He reaffirms that “THREAT OF ENTRY”, “THE POWER OF SUPPLIERS”, “THE POWER OF BUYERS”, THE THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES”, and “RIVALRY AMONG EXISTING COMPETITORS” are the forces that shape every single industry, and a thorough understanding of such forces help analyze everything from the intensity of competition to the profitability and attractiveness of any industry. The framework has two dimensions; the vertical dimension that connects

The level of competition in an industry determines the number of profits made by players in the industry. An industry with a high level of profits is likely to attract many players which erode the profits made by firms gradually. A firm seeking to venture into a new industry should evaluate the level of profits in an industry as well as how intense competition is in the industry before making a move. Porter’s five forces model provides a comprehensive framework that can be used to evaluate how intense the competition is in the industry.
