Select a company with a significant e-commerce strategy. (Alternatively, if you have entrepreneurial aspirations, use your own entrepreneurial business model as the context for analysis). This company could either be your own home or work organization or it could be another organization of your choice or choose the entrepreneurial context as noted above. Using the Porter five forces model, describe some of the current dynamics in the firm’s industry which are creating either strategic opportunities or strategic threats to existing business models.
