In 1979, “The Five Competitive Forces That Shape Strategy”, the first article that Michael E. Porter wrote was published on Harvard Business Review.
It was his first HBRarticle, and it started a revolution in the strategy field. “Porter’s five forces” have shaped a generation of academic research and business practice. He also addresses commonmisunderstandings, provides practical guidance for users of the framework, and offers a deeper view of its implications for strategy today.
Another book to take in account is the best seller “CompetitiveStrategy”. In this book, Michael E. Porter has transformed the theory, practice, and teaching of business strategy throughout the world. Porter introduces one of the most powerful competitive toolsyet developed: his three generic strategies - lowest cost, differentiation, and focus - which bring structure to the task of strategic positioning.
