created and competing with existing rivals.
·         Intensity of Rivalry: Discuss the key four or five elements that affect the intensity of rivalry and how hard firms must do battle with each other. What must ANY existing rival do in 
order to succeed?
·         Supplier Power: Is there any power existing on the input side that forces firms to bend 
to the will of suppliers?

·         Threat of Substitutes: Define the basic need(s) met by the goods and services sold by rivals. Can this need be easily met by purchasing the goods and services of non-rivals and who/what might those substitutes be?
Each force should be discussed beneath their own headings in paper using as much 
space as you deem necessary to complete analysis.  Also, please conclude paper with a 
brief (1-4 paragraphs are probably good) summary of the key competitive forces that
