Discussion

The ability to summarize a salient point is every bit as important to being able to write several pages of a detailed analysis or prose. There are numerous case studies on Michael Porter's Five Competitive Forces Model. Find one and summarize the case study to others in no more than one or two paragraphs.  Respond to another learner by critically reading his or her analysis and address whether or not you agree (answering why, or why not), using arguments you have either read in the text, slides or online. Remember to reference the source so the other reader can review the case study as well to formulate his or her response to you.  Grammar, capitalization, spelling, word usage (do not use a translator) are all important elements this week, so I recommend that everyone use the College-provided Grammarly tool.
