Porter's Five Force Model's International Strategic Effectiveness

In an extension of research demonstrating Michael Porter’s Five Force Model, this paper is to determine the effectiveness of this model towards international business strategy. This article will discuss the effectiveness of this model towards global markets, and seek to determine if this model can help determine other factors, such as operating costs of a business, competing in the international marketplace. Finally, this market will seek to determine if there are any limitations with this model, and if so, what are the limitations are, to determine if they are compatible with the missing of the business towards its international strategy.
