Porters Five Forces Model The model of pure competition implies that risk-adjusted rates of return should be constant

across firms and industries. However, numerous economic studies have affirmed that different industries can sustain different levels of profitability.

The strategic business manager seeking to develop an edge over rival firms can use this model to better understand the industry context in which the firm operates.
