Competitive Forces (Porter’s 5 Forces) Analysis of the competitive environment can be done utilising Michael Porter’s 5-forces model of UPS and FedEx. Porter’s theoretical framework allows us to determine the overall profitability and sustainability within the industry (Laudon & Laudon 2006‚ pg.99; Hubbard 2004‚ pg.211). We reckon that in this case‚ the competitive forces for both UPS and FedEx are very similar because they are both in the same industry. Power of substitutes: Communications

Abiotic component abiotic components (also known as abiotic factors) are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment‚ which affect ecosystems. Each abiotic component influences the number and variety of plants that grow in an ecosystem‚ which in turn has an influence on the variety of animals that live there. The four major abiotic components are: climate‚ parent material and soil‚ topography‚ and natural disturbances. From the viewpoint of biology‚ abiotic factors can be classified
