Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Porter's five forces framework suggests that the competitive forces in an industry determine the profitability of companies within that industry. This implies a zero-sum game where one company's gain comes at the expense of another's. Therefore, options A and B are correct. However, the framework does not preclude the possibility of market participants creating a larger total pie through innovation, collaboration, or other means. Hence, option C is incorrect.
