¶ … Environmental Concerns
The environment that I have selected to analyze for this particular assignment through some of the pivotal tenets of Michael Porter is that which constitutes the corporate world. Specifically, the environment pertains to information technology -- which has been called various names throughout its past and present existence -- and its propagation through what is largely a corporate environment . In fact, when one chooses to examine the past of the corporate environment of information technology, it becomes apparent that there are certain similarities and certain differences found within this environment as it relates to its present and future. More than 20 years ago the IT environment was not as greatly impacted by globalization as it is today.

There was a marked dearth of multinational corporations in this particular field, particularly when compared to the amount that existed in other industries such as the automotive...

Although IT is an example of a global vertical industry, it was partly affected by other environments such as the mature automotive industry, since the globalization tendencies of the latter would eventually influence those of the former.

The management of data and of the information technology that makes such management possible is certainly considered within a definite global context that not only includes international conferences, but international supply chains and other realities of globalization.

Porter's 5 forces are threat of new entrants, bargaining power of buyers, bargaining power of suppliers, substitution threats and rivalry determinants. In my opinion, as a small food retailer, you can count disadvantages vs. major food retailers in all these categories. As such, first of all, entry barriers refer to such things as economies of scale, brand identity or access to necessary input information. As a small food retailer, you are
