Market Profitability by Porter's 4 Forces Model Template

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide presents the framework "Market Profitability by Porter's 4 Forces Model Template." "Bargaining power of suppliers" suggests how suppliers can influence the price of inputs which could affect an organization's profitability. "Threat of new entrants" indicates the potential for new competitors to disrupt the market, challenge existing companies, and possibly erode profitability. "Bargaining power of buyers" determines the influence customers have on the price and quality of goods, potentially decreasing profitability. "Threat of substitute products" reflects the risk posed by alternative goods or services which can diminish market share and profitability for established products.

Graphical Look

• The slide's background is white with a faint grid pattern.
• Each of Porter's forces is represented in a quadrant, with colored borders matching the icon rings: blue, orange, pink, and green.
• Icons within colored circles visually represent each force: an open hand for "Bargaining power of suppliers," a paper airplane for "Threat of new entrants," a graduation cap for "Threat of substitute products," and a shopping cart for "Bargaining power of buyers."
• Each quadrant has a distinctive colored side border and title bar with white text stating the type of force.
• Placeholder text boxes with grayed-out font prompt input with "Write your description of this force here..."
• The slide has a prominent title in dark blue at the top with a curved line beneath it.

The slide is neatly organized with a balanced layout, maintaining symmetry and clear division between the four concepts. It uses simple yet descriptive icons to quickly convey the essence of each force, all within a professional and sleek design.
