The five forces come together to make a sector unprofitable, therefore, they must flee and they are the following: rivalry between competitors as the first issue that must be analyzed to launch into the market and dominate before we damage; as a second force, the threat of potential competitors, which is something that should not take anyone by surprise and for which one should never stagnate or trust.
The third force is the ability of suppliers to negotiate, since we depend on them to continue working, therefore it must be tactful with them and establish a fair level between them and the company, not one where the company is merely in need of themselves. The fourth force is the power of negotiation with customers and the fifth the threat of substitute products; These last two cases can be used to the advantage of the company with cunning.
