All of the following are part of Porters 5 forces except:

A. Competition in the industry
B. Potential of new entrants into the industry
C. Power of suppliers
D. More Government Oversight or Regulations

1 answer

The correct answer is: D. More Government Oversight or Regulations.

Porter's Five Forces framework includes:

  1. Competition in the industry (rivalry among existing competitors)
  2. Potential of new entrants into the industry (threat of new entrants)
  3. Power of suppliers (bargaining power of suppliers)
  4. Power of buyers (bargaining power of buyers)
  5. Threat of substitute products or services

While government regulations and oversight can impact business operations, they are not one of the five forces described in Porter's framework.
