The Five Forces Model has over the last two decades become one of the most cited and used strategic frameworks relied on by both academicians and practitioners globally to explain the dynamics of their enterprises. It's pervasive use can be attributed to the ability to quantify the five forces that define the competitive dynamics that affect industries and enterprises, as the framework is used for evaluating each (Porter, 2008). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this framework, in addition to making recommendations for how it can be improved given the exceptional uncertainty and chaotic nature of many industries today.

Porter has updated the model to reflect the competitive dynamics that have a direct impact on overall profitability and long-term barriers to entry in industries as well (Porter, 2008). The model also is capable of being used for defining the competitive dynamics a given enterprise faces over time, capturing the bargaining power of suppliers vs. buyers, showing how the value chain of an enterprise needs to change over time to survive (Porter, 2008).

Five forces' analysis (Porter 1980) Five Forces Analysis of Competitive Structure Michael Porters Five Forces Analysis of Competitive Structure is a paradigm for competitive position, which states that overall a company's profitability may be determined as a measure of the industry it is competing in and its strategic position within that industry (Strategy4u, 2004). According to the model some industries by nature will have a higher profit potential than others, primarily because
Others feel Five Forces is too cumbersome in its need for data and heavy-duty analysis and does not fit today's rapidly changing, dynamic market. So where do we go with this thought that some of today's tools may not suffice as the market moves faster and companies need these dynamic, flexible analytical tools to update their strategies?
