I can't believe Uni brought me back to the video that was made ages ago. this man really knew how to articulate what was confusing to others. Long live the knowledge of Prof. Porter

Professor Porter is a rare Gem. The ability to conceptualize what was imperceptible for many into a really effective framework that resonates with even the worst critic. Almost every criticism of the framework can be accommodated in someway within one of the 5 forces. The Five Competitive Forces is indeed a robust framework for strategy practitioners.
