Porter's Five Forces Model simply outlines the five most important factors taking place and shaping an industry in order to determine it's attractiveness for new entrants, or as a means to shape strategy for competitors within the industry. They are:
Bargaining Power of Buyers. Example - Few buyers means they may have more say over final product pricing.
Bargaining Power of Supplier. Ex - Many suppliers of the same product in a region (Steel, for example) would typically mean firms enjoy lower purchase prices on these inputs.
Threat of Substitutes. Ex - If you make a grain based cereal, you are pitting it against not only other grain based cereals, but other grain based, or "healthy" style breakfasts. The Threat of substitutes is high.
Threat of New Entrants. Ex - Is it easy for competitors to enter your industry because of: low startup costs, few existing competitors in a large market, easy to understand/use product? OR, is it a challenge because of the difficult nature of the business (example: diamond exploration, which is both difficult and cost prohibitive)
Intensity of Competition. Ex - Are there a lot of players a in small market (Intense) or very few players in a large market (Not intense).
Those are Porter's Five Forces. Simply ask the questions of the industry you are examining.

Porter's 5 Forces of Competition apply to any Competitive Business/Industry, including but not limited to the retail industry. - Threat of a New Competitor - Threat of a substitute (rival) product/service - Buying Power (bargaining power of buyers) - Supplier Reliance (supplier bargaining power) - Intensity of Rivalry - they say competition brings out the best in us. For a detailed explanation of Porter's 5 Forces and free Templates to use for analysis check out the site BusinessBalls.
The five porters include the following ; intense rivalry of the existing firm, threats of substitutes, threats of the buyers, threat of the suppliers, threats of the new entrant
Porter's Five Forces theory exists as organizational strategy. While it is conditional to a competitive industry it also applies to a pioneer industry such as Cochlear Limited. Five Force in particular is evident in the threats of new extrants, bargaining with buyers, and Cochlear Limited's substitute products.
1. Supplier's power 2. Threat of subtitute 3. Buyer's power 4. Barrier's to entry 5. Rivalry
Porterâ??s Five Forces include Threat of Entry, Threat of Rivalry, Threat of Substitutes, Threat of Powerful Suppliers, and Threat of Powerful Buyers. These were developed by Michael E. Porter.
The first step in performing an industry analysis to assess the impact of Porter's five forces.
Michael Potter's five forces framework can be used to determine whether the industry is attractive enough to sustain a small or medium size enterprise. The five forces of Entry, Rivalry, Substitutes, Buyers and Suppliers jointly determine the intensity of competition and profit potential for a small and medium size firm in a given industry or market sector. In analysing each market force, the question is whether it is sufficiently strong to reduce or eliminate industry profits. The focus at this stage is at the industry level because industry dynamics and profits of necessity dictate profits of other firms that enter the industry. Also, in carrying out a five forces analysis we want to be able to answer this question: If the competitive forces in the industry are strong, is there some strategy that firms might employ to defend it, or influence the forces in their own favour?
