(Note - analyze each force separately discussing the relevant factors behind each force and conclude
whether the force is HIGH, MODERATE OR LOW.
Ultimately, take a position on whether the overall industry is attractive or not and why)
2. Are there alternate ways to think about the industry Coke and Pepsi belong to in question #1?
Specify two such alternate “definitions” of the industry.
3. Will the industry attractiveness change depending on an alternate identification of industry in question #2? Why or why not? Pick one such alternate definition and support your reasoning using concepts from the Porter’s five forces model.
(Note: This can be less detailed than your answer to #1)
