Thought paper

The PESTEL and Five Forces frameworks for identifying threats and opportunities in industries are key elements of strategic analysis. However, in Chapter 3 of What I Didn’t Learn in Business School, consulting engagement leaders Livia and Ken point out limitations. They note that there are few industries where the Five Forces are mostly weak. And such industries have strong barriers to entry, so there is little chance of an outsider like HGS entering them.
