2. Evaluate the Threat of New Entrants:​
   1. Examine barriers to entry, such as economies of scale, brand loyalty, capital requirements, and government regulations.
   2. Assess the likelihood of new companies entering the market.
3. Assess the Bargaining Power of Buyers:
   1. Evaluate factors like the volume of purchases, standardization of products, and the importance of each buyer to the business.
   2. Determine the impact buyers can have on prices and terms.
4. Evaluate the Bargaining Power of Suppliers:
   1. Assess factors such as the number of available suppliers, the uniqueness of their products, and the importance of each supplier to the industry.
   2. Consider the impact of supplier power on costs and terms.
5. Analyze the Threat of Substitute Products or Services:​
