PORTER'S FORCES - SCRIBBLED HEXAGONS

Slide Content

The slide represents Porter's Five Forces framework using a graphical layout of scribbled hexagons. It includes:

• Competition: Signifying the intensity of competitive rivalry
• New entrants: Indicating the ease or difficulty for new competitors to join the market
• Buyers: Representing the power customers have to drive prices down
• Suppliers: Illustrating the influence suppliers have over the pricing and availability of materials
• Substitutes: Referring to alternative products and services that can affect industry demand

Graphical Look

• Six hexagon shapes arranged in two rows and three columns.
• Hexagons have a scribbled, sketch-like texture and vary in color: blue, green, yellow, and purple.
• Each hexagon contains a label identifying one of Porter's forces: Competition, New entrants, Buyers, Suppliers, and Substitutes.
• The hexagons are arranged in a manner that mimics a conceptual framework with an interrelation between the elements.
• The colors are subdued and professional, with a white background that enhances contrast.

The slide has a clean, modern aesthetic with a hand-drawn style that adds a degree of informality and approachability. The use of color coding aids in distinguishing between the different forces.
