The framework consist of five elements: threat of entry, bargaining power of supplier, bargaining power of buyer, threat of substitutes and industry rivalry. Forces Analysis Implication Threat of new entrant Low Threat Diversified of product There are high demand of furniture and electrical appliance.

The Porter’s model was created by Michael Porter in 1979. It is used to understand the structure of the industry and level of competition in that industry. It specifies the effect of five forces on an organization which are Threat of new entrants, Bargaining power of buyers, Bargaining power of suppliers, Threat of substitutes and Rivalry among existing competitors. The organization is less profitable if competitive forces are high. The model specifies where the actual power lies (Jurevicius, 2013).
What are the two types of core competencies that drive a firm’s competitive advantage? Which firms demonstrate a clear competitive advantage because of (a) major value-creating skills/core capabilities and/or (b) superior assets or resources? Which firms have demonstrated sustainable sources of competitive advantage? The two core competencies that drive a firm’s competitive advantage are cost leadership and differentiation.
This theory is based on the concept that there are five forces that determine the competitive intensity and attractiveness of a market. Porter 's five forces help to identify where power lies in a business situation. This is useful both in understanding the strength of an organization 's current competitive position, and the strength of a position that an organization may look to move into. Strategic analysts often use Porter’s five forces to understand whether new products or services are potentially profitable. By understanding where power lies, the theory can also be used to identify areas of strength, to improve weaknesses and to avoid mistakes.
This model is considered as the most potent and useful tool and is widely used by organisations. This model deals with external factors that influence the nature of completion and internal factors how firms compete effectively to be more profitable. Porter’s 5 forces is used.

Porter’s five forces model To analyse the microenvironment facing United Biscuits in China, Porter’s five forces model is selected to provide an understanding of the competitive forces, to determine the competitive position of the company and profitability within the biscuit industry whilst offering a framework for predicting and influencing competition over time (Porter, 2008, p.80). The findings are explained below: Threat of new entrants • The high capital cost required for investing in developing distribution, sales network and acquiring production equipment could deter new entrants. The barriers are high when capital is necessary for unrecoverable expenditures such as marketing and product development capability which is difficult for new entrants to succeed in the short-term (Euromonitor, 2014; Porter, 2008, p.81).
Secondly, Porter’s Five Forces Model is used to analyse the level of rivalry in the market, the attractiveness for potential new entrants, the power of suppliers, the power of buyers and the threat of substitution. This will allow us to see a holistic view of the industry in the market environment. Thirdly, the PESTLE framework is used to analyse the factors within the macro environment that are influencing
