size, Market growth rate, Industry strength, etc.) of the industry.
2. Discuss the competition within the industry.
Who are the main players? How intense is the rivalry? How attractive is the
industry? What factorsare critical to competing successfully in the
industry? Porter’s Model of Competition must be used in this section
